To me, Subban is a #1 D no question about it. I'd put guys like Vlasic, Hamhuis (in his Vancouver days), Seabrook, Tanev etc in the top 2 D men category.

She is receiveing some scholarships. Thankfully, she is also employed as a sessional instructor and research assistant, which do show as income on the T4. I'm also receiving scholarships and have sparatic taxible income from Co-op work terms.

Building permit and rezoning application wait times are probably the largest contributor to supply shortages. Victoria has ridiculous height restrictions, it seems every plan submitted to city council comes back 6 months late and several stories shorter.

Thanks for the reply, they certainly are crazy times. Things are a bit more affordable in Victoria, where I live. Most new build condos are still under $1000 per square foot downtown, though high-end units are up to $1300. Detached homes in the core (Victoria, Oak Bay, and the Victoria end of Saanich) are pretty out of reach, but there are still some reasonable prices in Esquimalt, Langford, and Colwood. I'm in my mid 20s myself, and not quite ready to enter the market yet. I'm doing a pretty big career change, I left the Army in 2016 and am finishing my Accounting degree and pursuing a CPA. My Wife is nearly finished her PhD and has some jobs lined up, so our household income will be reasonably high in the near future. That said: I'm watching prices rise so fast I'm afraid by the time we've eliminated student debt and saved a nice down payment, those reasonable prices in Langford and Colwood will be gone.

My first time visiting this thread (I usually stay in Canucks talk and Prospects). Wow, thanks for all the informative posts Harvey! How long have you been in the Real Estate business?

I believe, with his October birthday, he is AHL eligible next year. It's been mentioned on previous pages if you're up fornsome digging.
-
Granlund is pretty week on the faceoff. I wouldn't be opposed to adding Jake to the PK squad though. It would be nice to find him a couple more minutes each game.
-
Virtanen doesn't take faceoffs though.
-
Man, I feel for you Derek. Thanks for giving it your all on the ice for us and your teammates. We'll miss having you out there, good luck in the next chapter of your life.

THW (Pike’s Picks): 21st (final) Future Considerations: 38th (final) ISS: 24th (May) Bob McKenzie: 33rd (Mid-season) Craig Button: 54th (final) The Hockey News: 27th (final) You're right, he didn't fall very far in the rankings. I think management thought he would go in the 20s and were surprised to see him available at 33. I'm guessing our scouts had him around ISS's number.

9th in points per game, pretty impressive.
-
It's pretty good, about 8000 capacity and not a bad seat in the house. Food/drink is pretty average though.
-
Reminds me of Brandon Saad in his draft +1
-
Exciting to see this moved from prospects to current roster!
-
I believe they can do that, but I also believe any other team i the NHL can offer him a contract right now. If they haven't done that why would they claim him on waivers?
-
The Sedins played respectable D for the better part of the last decade. I'll agree they aren't doing well at it now though.
-
He is pretty weak on face-offs. I think we're on the same page, for the most part. Maybe I'm over-rating his offensive potential, time will tell. He's a player I'm keeping a close eye on this season.
-
I hope not, but it will depend on his next contract. Even in the 3+mil range I'd love to keep him as a middle 6 two-way guy capable of 20 goals and making plays. When we are pushing for the playoffs in a couple years his versatility will pay divendens when the inevitable injury bug hits.
-
His play over the next three years will determine that. Does he build upon his achievements from last season or plateau? 19 goals from a guy who can play all forward positions and play in all three zones is pretty valuable.
-
Yeah I thought he was another one of those not quite skilled enough for the top 6, not quite gritty or defensive enough for the bottom 6 guys that are so plentiful. He has shown more skill, grit, and defensive awareness than I was willing to give him credit for in his first (half) season here.
-
He cleared. We got Granlund for a player no NHL team wants on their roster. I have to admit, I was not thrilled about the trade when it happened. I'm very happy to be proven wrong.
-
Wow, those are outragous numbers for the CHL
-
Can someone help me understand why he was given an interferance penalty when the player he hit had the puck in his skates?
-
Yeah, I noticed some of his passes seemed "too hard". I agree that's not really a fault, better players would have no trouble receiving those.
