  1. Why? Just so BanTSN can talk about how attractive he thinks he is?
  2. You know what?!? I think we should have an individual thread for every possible pick in Canucks Talk. We're almost there.
  3. My recollection goes something like this.... Leading up to draft day greens was concerned that 10th would be too high to take Tarasenko, as most 'lists' had him a bit lower, but he's still sitting on the board. It comes to his pick and greens still isn't sure who he is going to take. Me: "I don't know, TL told you take Tarasenko." Greens: "It might be too early pick him. Russian factor." Nervously pacing around. Me: "If he turns into a star and you don't take Trevor Linden's advice how stupid are you going to feel? How would you forgive yourself?" Greens: "I'm taking him!" Lunges at keyboard. Looking back at the order, it seems like it was a good pick. But no more free advice from him, I think. He's not a 'citizen' anymore. His opinions aren't free game for garden folk. O yeah.... It's like Christmas for me. Biggest single day of the hockey pool year. That's why I always like to have a bunch of presents under the tree. I've usually had quite a bit of Yule cheer by the 3rd round too so my picks start to become a little more erratic. Having it right on the summer solstice this year is extra cool.
  4. I don't care what he looks like. He could be the ugliest human that ever walked the Earth if he keeps winning Vezinas.
  5. Three players in the entire league scored 40 or more goals. One had 50. Maybe you aren't being realistic.
  6. When was the last time we had someone with 100 assists? Never. And it is ridiculous to expect that or a 50 goal scorer. Temper your expectations and you won't be disappointed.
  7. Mogilny, Tanti, Sedlbauer, Bertuzzi, Rota... Might be a couple of others.
  8. I won't be upset. I'm expecting it. I think Nylander is the best long term project but I expect Ritchie. Whatever happens we will get a good player. There's no reason not be happy.
  9. If you don't speculate you can't accumulate. If I was a scouting staff I look at the player not the numbers.
  10. I'm going to learn this on ukulele for the next time I go camping. Great tune.
  11. Agreed. Which is why I've been saying Nylander is the best pick at 6th. But I expect Ritchie and I'm fine with that. I think he too could be a 1st liner with the right line mates, if he gets close to his ceiling. I think he's a little dirtier on the defensive side of the game. More well rounded so he's a 'safe' a pick as can be had for forwards. I'm not sure of an offensive ceiling. I think it will be a touch behind Duchene. Not far off though. If he falls before 3rd I'll be shocked.
  12. Bennett is going to be solid though. In all 3 zones. I don't think he has an overt weakness. He reminds me of Ryan O'Reilly or Patrice Bergeron, as a mold.
  13. Not that it pertains to the timing according to your info provided but I don't think playoff revenue does count. I think that was clarified in the last CBA. I think it doesn't count towards revenue sharing and is retained by the member teams. It's an incentive to make the playoffs.
  14. No. I'm just bored and trying to play along in anyway I can. I'm like that kid in the schoolyard that wants to play with the other kids but they won't let me.
  15. It was but it's also rumoured to be dropping due to the Cdn dollar falling a bit. I'm expecting around 69 but I was hoping we'd get a clear picture sooner rather than later.
  16. Does anyone know when the NHL is planning on releasing the financial information for the new salary cap next year? I believe that playoff revenue doesn't count so I'm assuming they'll be doing this soon.
  17. How are you determining that the top end of this draft class is weak? The weakness of this draft is depth past the 2nd round.
  18. I certainly didn't see any. Lot's of wrong statements and vitriol though.
  19. You really are a hateful person. Your attitude just stinks.
