  1. Cheers amigo.... I don't run the draft simulator. I fear for bad karma, so we won't hit the Jack Pot... But lets hope we finally hit the jack pot... The draft lottery hasn't been kind to us under Benning, despite sending anyone bar 'Fin' to attend... so maybe this is the year we get our generational player..... I have a bottle of Macallan ready to be uncorked should that happen...
  2. Maybe I'm wrong, but if Islanders pick 13th and moves up 10, Carlsson should be avaiable? Just seen a few answers from others and I'm wrong... the pick is top 12 protected, so if they win the lottery and goes into top 12, they keep the pick. My mistake.
  3. Into top 3? Doubt it... but yes we could move up into Michov range... no doubt about that. Think a lot of team will be weary off Michov lack of exposure... Podz dropped like a rock and Michov has an even longer timeline, so can easily see him drop to 5-6... (not saying Podz is in Michovs class).
  4. Doubt anyone moves the top 3 picks. Possibly franchise players... But other than that anything could happen with the extra picks.
  5. Would be great, but don't expect him to fall until 8th. And you're surely not going to give up on a sure thing, for a superstar, you may never see... anything after top 3 is possible though.
  6. Ain't gonna happen. Top 3 are all special players and franchise changing... nobody will swap them for 8 and 14.... unless you have some dodgy pictures as well...
  7. I think, they may have accepted, it'll take one more year to clear some of the contracts like Myers, Pearson etc. AB is in the same boat. Flip them at next years TDL for picks/Prospects and suddenly they have an ocean of cap space despite EPs extension... Now with a bit of lottery luck we may even have a good player entering on an ELC in a year as well, and suddenly we could have the foundation for a good team built. Here's hoping at least....
  8. If this is how they see it as well, expect the pick to shifted for a D man. In saying this, when Benning picked (it is what it is) McCann later in the round folks were okish, but he has turned out ok eventually.
  9. Exactly... Changes are needed. We all know that, and if the draft really looks this good, now is definitely the time to pounce. In saying that, they may still flip the pick for D help... We'll see
  10. This..... 1st round picks this year could franchise changing even outside the magic top 3 or 5..... Imagine getting one of those with 12th pick. Benning drafted a few good players later in the first round.... Brock and McCann... but they are not quite at the level of the 6 you mentioned. Drafting 2 players at that level, would definitely change the future of this franchise.
  11. On a side note, called it.... It was always on the cards, after the Miller extension. Last summer was when they made their decision, that Bo was going. Unfortunately Miller has not continued his stellar play from last year, so we'll see how it pans out... maybe there are more trades on the way.
  12. More than 1.... you'll always find a coach, who doesn't approve of how things has been handled... Maybe Bruces best buddy... Could it have been handled better, yes, but this is nothing but sh!t stirring from some hack in Toronto.... I liked Bruce, we all liked Bruce, but we weren't going anywhere, and 80% of knowledgable folks said that biggest issue in Vancouver, is the lack of systems... Well systems are down to the coach, and apparently JR/PA and Bruce didn't see eye to eye on this, so there is just going to be one winner, which is the way it should be. Otherwise, what's the idea of a President and a GM? Time will tell if they will come good, and good knows I have not been the biggest fan of them up until now, but things do take time. Fans wanted a President, so FA got one with 3 cup rings... I'd suggest that is a pretty good CV, so now we got to give them some time to do, what they were hired to do...
  13. Don't think its Lekkerimakki he is frustrated with, but the pick in general, when everyone on the Northern Hemisphere know we need D-men... Big boys, who can defend.
  14. Yes that would be a fair deal for Canucks... It would instantly improve our pipeline... Get our new C this years draft, and a rhd D in the 2nd round and next years draft, and we look like building something. Despite the doom and gloom we have a good few players in Abby, that will be pushing in the next couple of years. PS. Would have loved to draft RHD in the first round as well, but think its a reach at our likely position...
  15. Don;t know too much about Borque, besides he is a C, but If they can't make a deal to keep Horvat, I'd definitely consider this. A first from Dallas, could be around 20ish in 2024 and I'd love to have Bichsel... Should have drafted him last year at our pick. Big mistake.
