5-2 Canucks Bo gwg Canucks Eddie the eagle (after breaking another stick) PS. Great job keeping this going throughout the season @goalie13... not all heros wear capes -
Cheers bro. Not annoyed at all Yes that was kind of my point... You assemble (hopefully) assets through the draft (as well as through trades). These assets can be used to build your team, or to get different assets. The assets obtained unfortunately didn’t work out as hoped for. Tryamkin... who knows the real reason? Maybe his wife just don’t like VCR or he doesn’t approve of joints or maybe Willies tape of Pronger pissed him off, but I don’t blame JB for taking a swing with him in the 3rd.

Agree... Bo finally has a winger that fits.

It doesn’t change the fact he was a good pick. The boy is playing in the NHL (not looking out of place), and thats all you can ask for from a 24th pick. That they used him in a trade that didn’t work out, is totally irrelevant. If Flyers had traded Konecny (24th pick) to us for Sbisa the year after, would you say he was a bad pick? No it would be a poor trade... The fact McCann was traded for Guddy, who was lost in Vancouver is a different story. The only real complaints I remember about McCann, was the ‘it is, what it is’... Yes there were a few better players he could have picked at 24 with Pastnak and Brayden Point springing to mind or Victor Arvidson... I’d actually argue that from a drafting point Benning did well in the 2014 draft with both Demko, Tryamkin and Forsling... Tryamkin is swing we would do again if presented, and Forsling is also stil playing as an NHL’er... The fact they don’t play for Canucks are a different story. PS. The year before we picked Shinkaruk in same position... now that was a bad pick.

4-2 Canucks Hoglander under -
How is McCann a miss? Absolutely nothing wrong with the pick... You can definitely argue that flipping him for Guddy was bad ( we ALL wanted a mean defence man, who ultimately didn’t live up to our expectations) but McCann was a good pick at 24...

This is pure gold Jan.... At the time a few JB haters were complaining that JB did not spend time on the Virtanen situation, instead of scouting players at the U18's... So happy that he did so himself. If its all duds so be it. But at least he has given himself a chance to strike it rich.... again...

Don’t recall anyone else... imagine getting a proper player to slot straight into the line up... Would be just what the doctor ordered... bring it on
