  1. Car Detailers: what’s your goto sealant durability wise other than a ceramic coating? My car parks under an oak tree and the sap/pollen/watermark residue gets pretty nasty.  AND I have a black car so 2x the fun.  I could do a ceramic coating but paint correction would take forever.  Maybe I should just do that.  Or, if you can recommend a spray sealant that works Im all ears.  Dont mind re-applying once a week.  FYI Meguiars M21 synth sealant doesnt last long/hold up.

      Bird poop..the ultimate sealant.

      Damn stuff is so difficult to remove from the car.

      Oh I get that too on top of the oak tree junk

      I'm not a car guy, but I watched a few Chris Fix youtube videos and I think he's got a segment on just what you're talking about @Angry Goose

  2. I suspect the 2nd rnd pick was more enticing given hes still a longshot at this point
  3. Hes got a nice slapper. The swedish contingent grows stronger!
  4. He looked pretty good speed wise and was aggressive in CBJ tho. Had a bit of an offensive outburst too. Just pondering it though if Lockwood isnt quite ready.
  5. It was a figure of speech, actually. But using “all our picks” from the next two drafts in solely defensemen could come across that way.
  6. I think the risk in JBs approach (similar to Burke) is that you have to hit your transactions out of the park. Like you say there are + & - you can definitely discuss. My own view is to re focus on building from within. Avoid high priced UFAs or trade targets. Pay the guys who have already proven themselves in your system that you know make your team competitive e.g the Hughes, Demkos, EPs. Then like you say, tweak and reload. I think trading Meyers/Boeser is a must to build a secondary layer of cheaper/developing talent. IF the Canucks wernt as thin as they are in prospects ready to push you could gamble on a Miller. The JB reference to having veteran role players is interesting to me. He tried to address those needs on the fly (a lot of it being due to a lack of prospect depth he also inherited). Given this and PA’s comments about having AHL prospects marinate and ready to play quality NHL mins, I would guess the current plan is to fill those needs from (mostly) within (if possible). Hard part that this is going to take time.
  7. Im hoping the amateur scouting overhaul will pay dividends. Cammi Granato has a very thorough system in place that will hopefully lead to more NHL quality picks. As far as the short term future of the back end goes though, I dont think you can rush it. Perhaps you can acquire a top 4 dman or two through trades to help, but the majority of building will have to be through the draft. Id advocate for a quantity approach at this point. Try acquire a large # of picks and if your scouting is solid, hit on a bunch.
  8. Honestly, if the Canucks were able to construct/get some chemistry going w/ the Motto line (without Motte of course) Id have zero problems rolling that out as your third line. That was a very good match up line that wore teams down. That gives you options w/ your fourth line to address different needs, and frees up your first two lines to be more offensive. IMO Highmore is a good player that should have a spit in this team. His work ethic is second to none and his hands are pretty good. He just lacks the size/nasty component. Canucks cant afford Motte now but I would 100% try to get Highmore locked up on a 3 year deal. Lammikko too at a lower cap hit in exchange for security.
  9. IMO move 2/3 (Miller, Boeser, Horvat), and Meyers to reload on young talent. 4/4 if you can negotiate some high upside returns. Roy would be a good placeholder. I would not give up on Hoagie or Rathbone though. Id focus on draft picks for Roy similar to how Avs landed Toews. Ive changed my tune on Poolman. I really liked his game and maybe with Boudreau’s better overall style of play he could fit very well. Someone I keep if Meyers is moved. Dickinson moveable but not absolutely necessary.
  10. Yeah I didnt really think about Bacta tank Vader. Good point. Im a very casual SW fan so pretty easy for me to suspend disbelief / not think about plot development too much. Its usually just the obviously cliche/corny stuff that irks me. ***** Stranger Things S4 (part 1). I didnt enjoy it. ***** Outer Range S1 This I did enjoy. Someone compared it to S1 True Detective quality but I wouldnt go that far. One thing- if I got pushed into a dark void Id be pretty pissed about it.
  11. Obi Wan Kenobi 4 episodes in and Im left…wanting. Kid Leia kind of bugs me. Some of the exposition feels a bit forced. I was stoked Rupert Friend was in it a bit. Annican/Obi Wans history is definitely the strong point-just the other parts of the storyline dont feel as organic.
  12. Rangers should have traded Schneider for Miller. Panarin might actually be a factor with him
