  1. I took a quick browse of Canucks picks from 63-93 and notable people not on this Top 10 list because they were not 3rd round picks are Marc Crawford (picked #70, round 4 in 1980) and Gino Odjick (picked #86, round 5 in 1990).
  2. As the number of teams have expanded, the chances of hitting in the '3rd round' have decreased. Smyl and Hanlon were picked 40th which would be a 2nd round pick nowadays. Perhaps rather than ranking the top 10 third round picks by round, it should be top 10 canucks picked between 63rd and 93rd
  3. We also selected Tryamkin in the 3rd round and he may come back around to join the team
  4. Hendrix Lapierre - Alex Lafrenierre - Alex Laferriere Their positions even work out. The tongue twister line of 2020
  5. If the Rangers get Lefreniere and Laferriere I want them to play on the same line
  6. I have someone on Ignore but I still see them when they make a Status Update. Is there a way to block those too?
  7. I would agree on Markstrom except for the expansion draft. We need to make a decision next year and if Markstrom is demanding a NMC now, then we need to let him walk since that takes the decision away from us too early.
  8. We could re-sign Toffoli without moving out anchor contracts (not ideal) if we don't re-sign Marky and Tanev. We have the cap to sign at least one of our big 3 if we definitely lose the other two (and we don't add OEL unless we send an anchor back)
  9. Toffoli can still re-sign with us even if he hits free agency.
  10. We'll have Hoglander and Podkolzin need the top 6 spots within a few years. It isn't the worst thing to not have a 32 year old Toffoli at the time
  11. This French Open is big for Shapo's chances of qualifying for the year end ATP Finals
  12. Then only have 9 players signed for next year. If you consider a team to be usually 13F, 7D, and 2G, then Ottawa has 13 players to sign. That's an avg of $1.7M per player to reach the floor. They can do it easily. Even if they trade for Eriksson, they still need to sign 12 more players just to field a team. Eriksson only saves them any actual dollars if he's paid less cash than one of the 13 players they would need to sign anyways. And Ottawa has Brady Thachuk as an RFA next year who'll make big dollars
  13. They have 9 players signed to contracts for next season. They'll reach the floor just by signing their RFA's and completing a team
  14. I've seen the math on the buyout. We save $2.33 M in the season we need to re-sign Petey and Hughes, we spend no assets on a buyout, we don't need Eriksson to say yes (like we do on a mutual contract termination, or retirement), and we don't need another team's help. I'll take that level of control. Keep it in our hands, don't depend on another team
  15. Staal only has one year left on his contract with a NMC so he had to waive it to be moved to Detroit. Eriksson would cost more since he's 2 years and $6M. Just bite the bullet and buy him out. We don't have the assets to spend
  16. They're even walking away from Borowiecki who is a great vet presence
  17. I don't think letting contracts run out is all that strange. Happens all the time.
  18. High dose, long term NSAIDS are a bad idea. Safer to use Acetaminophen but then there's no anti-inflammatory effect. But both are still safer options than opioids. The line from Goon is so telling of how freely opioids were given out before: "Two rules, man: Stay away from my percocets, and do you have any percocets?"
  19. They had weed gummies. That's amazing. Haven't other players in the past been suspended for failing Cannabis drug tests?
  20. Shapo lost to Schwartzman in a third set tiebreak, but since Schwartzman lost to Djokovic in the final, it ensures that Shapo will enter the Top 10 with this week's ranking update. The 2nd Canadian man to enter the Top 10 since Raonic (who was last in the top 10 in 2017, career high of No. 3 in 2016)
  21. It just hit me (with the InuYasha sequel coming out next month) that Ian in 'Being Ian' is voiced by InuYasha's voice actor. I watched both Being Ian and InuYasha as a kid and never made the connection. He also voiced the main character in Zoids if anybody remembers that show.
  22. I don't think Pearson's coming back after his current contract. His $3.75M isn't bad but he doesn't drive the line he's on. Toffoli can play both wings so after this year: MILLER - PETTERSSON - BOESER TOFFOLI - HORVAT - PODKOLZIN No reason to trade Boeser just because Podkolzin joins the team
  23. Why would SKA limiting his minutes make Pod more likely to sign? That would piss me off and make me want to leave.
