  1. Realistically what’s the value of 9OA, a top 2-4 defenseman, 2nd line centre?

  2. The Taylor Hall luck strikes again! That's the 5th number 1 overall draft pick he has managed to get for a franchise.

  5. That Leafs collapse made me happier than any individual Nucks win this season, still riding high 

  6. Quinn Hughes should learn from Josh Morrissey. Similar size, similar baby face...

  7. I'd prefer for the Canucks not to be "the worst team in Canada" than get a slightly higher draft pick on a relatively weak and un-scouted draft.

  8. if there is no season this year, who does it hurt most...the owners or the players or the fans?

  9. Zegras should have been a Canuck, what a farce. Hope Benning genuinely exhausted his options to move up.

      I like Zegras too for his hockey IQ, but a few things that Podkolzin has is that he has pest potential - high motor, physical. He reminds me of Matthew Tkachuk and Brendan Gallagher somehow, and I think that's what we need in a top 6 role.

      @coastal.viewImho, it depends upon perspective. I'm personally willing to be patient because the core people they are relying to make a difference are all young and still need to be seasoned. So far, this season is definitely seasoning them (get it? season, seasoning,..ok, it's not as good as your poetry, but I try). :P

      I think the main problem with the fans is that we were spoiled by the Canucks' October success and people started planning parades. In all honesty, that team from October looks like it could skate circles around this current team.

  12. St. Louis scored 4 unanswered goals on the Avs.  Does that mean Colorado sucks?

  14. Remember when some chose Mittelstadt as an early 2018 Calder favourite?  It's a year and a half later annnnd...

      @#CanucksNot at the cost of franchise player Petey though. I think that pre-injury Boeser with his laser shot was borderline franchise player. I had Quinn at number 3 so at where he ended up was a no-brainer pick. If PLD and Juolevi were available, from my understanding, both Linden and Benning would have selected PLD so that's too bad.

      @Odd.I was initially on the Cody Glass bandwagon myself. Am sure glad I'm not the one doing the drafting (my choices would have been: Nylander, Konecny, Tkachuk, Glass, Hughes, Boldy).

      @Jimmy McGill, lol. To be fair, it was later revealed that he had a shoulder injury during that time.
      When I've seen Mittelstadt play in the NHL, he seems like he does have good creativity in his game though. I wouldn't mind the Canucks taking a flyer on him, but I think his best role is a C, and who would he displace?

  17. POLL: which loss was worse for you, the lacklustre Philly loss or tonight's breakdown?  

  18. Make Stech a hybrid?

     

    Too many games we go down to 5d. It would be smart to often roll 11 fwds/7D.

     

    He seems to love playing in his hometown, & always gives 100% effort. Why not train a skater, so that they're highly adaptable to switch, at moment's notice?

     

    In physical PO series, it'd be wise to have an extra D-man, if needed.

  19. It is October 8th, 2019 and James Neal leads the NHL in goals

  20. Interesting observation: HFboards seems to think Hughes was elite and by far the best player tonight. CDC seems to have very mixed opinions about Hughes tonight.

  21. There are times when I really wish the Comets were somewhere a lot closer. Can't be easy to move from Vancouver to the East Coast if you have a family.

    Might not be word-for-word but I thought that was a nice jab during a friendly roost.  

  23. Who is going to be the biggest name on waivers tomorrow? 

  24. For those that live or have lived in Kelowna, what are some pros and cons of living there? Thinking about a job opportunity. Thanks.
