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...

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....

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.

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...

[Rumour] Canucks Getting Calls on Luke Schenn

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.

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...

Predict The Score Contest: VAN @ NJ February 6 2023

Canucks 4-3 Petey -
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.
