I was in a Futurium museum (or something like that) one option to solve world hunger is to actually start processing insects as a source of food or protein. Apparently it's sustainable due to how rapid insets reproduce. It's kind of gross to think about it but objectively it might be a viable option.

I would still consider trading Brock though. Not because of him per-se but has to do with the circumstances surrounding his qualifying offer and where the team is at. So I wouldn't really call out people who wants Brock to be traded.

I mean calling someone that behind a keyboard is bad no matter the circumstances. Sadly it had come to this, but I hope people stop trashing people online. It's still fine to criticize people on their on ice performance and product but going beyond that is always uncalled for.

Can't imagine the Preds doing anything to the Avs when they blew a 4-0 against Arizona

Exactly I am a hockey fan but if I was working in Phoenix and had to take some clients around for entertainment there is no way I would take them to an Arena that minor league teams play on. I would rather take them to a Suns game instead.

Flames are 3rd in GAA, so not a slouch on their defensive side either especially considering who their coach is.

Wait Arizona won ? lol Avs sweep

Hmmm I originally had a longer post from what I wrote but I guess I should explain my view on this further So I really like Miller, my heart says keep him and he's a heart and soul guy, but my mind says we can't keep it him. The reason for this is that Miller is having a career year (or period since he was also in the same pace is the previous seasons) having said that given his age offering him a long term deal on his expected value ( good comparison from sports net is Zibanejad) once his contract expires next off-season is a big risk and doesn't fit into the timeline when the Canucks can be competitive (or at least a contender) again. And we still even didn't factor in what kind of contract Kadri will be getting next. Sure this season after Bruce took over looks promising but how many of those wins were masked by Demko's performance. But according to Sportsnet 650 (I can't remember who it was I want to think it's Kevin Woodley but I could be wrong) but the Canucks are still somewhere in the bottom when it comes to High Danger changes against (or some defensive stat). If this doesn't sound familiar it sounds like where the Avs were in their 2013-2014 season and got bounced in the 1st round despite winning a highly competitive central division. Who is to say this won't be the same trajectory Canucks are in right now ? But all signs point to most Hockey analysts and experts is that the way Canucks are playing isn't sustainable (which actually makes missing the playoff hurts since all signs point to the team might be able to replicate what they did with Bruce next season). Having said that if 3 or 4 years is when Canucks will be a contender, will Miller's extension if he does get one with Vancouver become a problem or will he still contribute to the team where he's not holding the team down? Sure people can keep brining up Joe Pavelski but seeing as everyone is talking about Pavelski and his performance and his age means it's more the exception than the norm. So what is the next best option? Miller had 99 points this season, there has to be a team willing to get him and for Canucks to walk away with a great (or even very good) return. There's a team that's bound to be desperate if they don't make a deep playoff run perhaps Colorado, Tampa, The Leafs, or the Hurricanes. If the Canucks are in a win now mode then I would be open on keeping Miller, obviously. But even Rutherford said the team is not in a good situation considering the lack of cap flexibility and where they stand compared the rest of league. Is there a chance on keeping Miller? Sure. If the team can offload some contracts to make him fit and perhaps even trading OEL or Horvat and/or Miller signs a team friendly deal. Then sure. But I can't imagine Miller's agent agreeing on a deal less than $8 Million deal when the Canucks signed LE to 6 Million, Beagle and Roussel to 3, and even recently Dickinson on that contract. Like I said I would love to keep Miller but circumstances around where the team is at and the market and his recent performance makes doesn't indicate it would be in the best interest of the team long term.

Kind of a bummer McDavid and Draisaitl both were given a rest day. I get it but it's the last home game of the regular season. Imagine being a kid buying a ticket and never going to an Oilers game for whatever reason and not seeing any of these two play.

From 10 million to 9.9 million

Canucks lost the point

I'll say the leafs because in any other year the Leafs pt total would be top of the standings in the conference or maybe even a presidents trophy.

I checked the roster line up for the Panthers didn't look like their full roster way playing

Well by that definition it means more the Rebuild is delayed for a year but still not over But I still feel some sort or rebuild has to be done. At least from a core player standpoint since I can't imagine Miller or Horvat or even both being in the long term future with the Canucks. If Petterson, Hughes, and Demko are your core guys then you will need to build a team around their style of play.

Changes need to be made. I think the circumstances of everything probably means he's gone.

So then does Brock both increase his trade value and demands a higher extension?

Preds seem like a scarier team than the Stars to face in the playoffs. One would think the Avs would give the Preds the win here somehow

Hey maybe a more skilled and balanced Raymond would have made a huge difference. What I understand is that Nylander is one of the best playoff performers for the Leafs and has been a 60 to 70+ pt player in the regular season. His contract is a steal or at least a pretty good deal

Can't see his contract being less than 9 AAV at this point. Considering what Hertl got. Though this can change depending on how much Kadri signs for this off-season.

Poor Eichel

Golden Knights seem like the new arrogant kid in school every teacher and girl likes but everyone else in the classroom hates

Can't believe Canucks misseed the playoffs to a team with a much inferior goal differential
