  1. Improvement on game 5's start... I guess. Not a good start but atleast they are getting their shots. U knew Milwaukee was gunna be ready.
  2. Change 32 to 44. #19 & #44. The difference of prospect at 10 compared to 19 is big, & Eriksson is somewhat beneficial for OTT to reach the cap floor. Throw in a pick or something else on our end if need be.
  3. What about #10 + Eriksson to Ottawa for #19 + #32
  4. Staying in Russia another year or 2 shouldnt be the reason to pass on Podkolzin. It should be about upside. If hes rly as good as he's been touted to be. If he is we shouldnt be passing on him.
  5. Yeah it was pretty close. If it was the other way around Id probably be pissed happening to my team, but I agree with you. Wouldn't have made much difference at that point.
  6. Whether Kawhi stays or not he's a Canadian basketball legend forever. So much fun watching him this post season. What a comeback, the Raps just never gave up. FVV kept coming with those 3's & then Kawhi took over in the 4th. 1 win away!!! And it feels so good !!!
  7. Yeah I think he's the most likely goalie to go top 10 too. No doubt he looks like the best goalie prospect in awhile. Knight's gotten alot of praise, but he'll be even more regarded next year. Askarov looks like a star. That 2020 class is going to be really good.
  8. IIRC in the TSN/McKenzie list Knight was T-15. Ive thought of him more of a 10-20. Basically mid first than late 1st. Knight is more highly touted than Demko or Dipietro were. Having them shouldnt prevent us from taking Knight. But unless we take him 10th he wont be a Canuck.
  9. From some of the comments they seem interested in defense at 10. I imagine its Soderstrom or Broberg. And by all accounts Benning seems to like Broberg. Not totally sure how I feel b/c its another LHD. But Broberg does feel like a safe pick, and he is intriguing with that size + skating.
  10. Take Knight & run. Id be surprised if he doesnt go first round though. He could be the best goalie prospect to come along since Vasilevsky.
  11. I'm glad the Raptors have stormed back in this ECF. Much more interested in the NBA right now than the NHL. Atleast as long as the Raptors are going. I'll be invested in this SCF to see Boston lose. But I'm not really excited to see either team win. Was more interested last year.
  12. Not a fan. Boston has already had a layoff, STL has been rolling. Momentum should be an advantage for STL going in. Leave it to the NHL to try & kill STL mo.
  13. Raptors are rolling right now. Ibaka bouncing back in a big way
  14. They gotta be actively pursuing both avenues. Not much choice. Theres isnt much coming (soon) in the prospect pool, and there isnt a wealth of assets to trade. We need to turn over every stone to try & make this team better. Be smart about it, but we cant accept being a bottom feeder forever.
  15. Clutch win for the Raptors. Needed to hang on for that W, after blowing it in game 1.
  16. I think Seider goes between 10-20. Very intriguing prospect, but I think there's valid questions of what his NHL upside is.
  17. Friedman said the Canucks like Ferland. I'm really skeptical of the idea. I can see it now, Jim Benning on July 1st (after giving Ferland a big contract) bringing up the impact in the 2015 series & saying we need that on our team. Which I'd agree, but his injuries, & idk if he's that player consistently. He won't get as long of a contract, but I see some David Clarkson potential there. Personally, if Edmonton were to buy out Lucic, I'd rather sign him at a 1.5 on a 1 or 2 year deal than give Ferland a huge contract.
  18. I was really hoping the Giants would pull it off, but PA carried the play most of OT. At points it felt like it was only a matter of time. Gregor was easily the best skater on the ice. Oh well, great season for the Giants. Prince Albert was pretty clearly the best team in the Dub all year long. And the Giants pushed them right to the brink.
  19. I cant see them getting another 1st. The opportunity to get another first was at the TDL with Edler. Hutton, Sutter, Goldy, exc. Dont have enough value. And I wouldn't be trading our 2020 1st. As of now its still a non-playoff team & could be for a few years yet.
