Think about it, when was the last time the Canucks had THREE rookies make the team out of the camp, without two of them being named Sedin? Hold on, I don't know if we're talking about the same thing lol. Are we talking about the number of players available to be drafted between 1993-2013? Or are we talking about the players the Canucks actually drafted at that time? I may have misinterpreted what you were talking about. What I'm saying is that it's not the players eligible to be drafted has really improved all that much, but the players that the Canucks are actually drafting are a lot better than the mediocre picks we've had previously. Are we actually agreeing here? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL97OneTimer Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Classic Eastern media doing their job to tear apart the Canucks by promoting schoolyard stories about owners and management and dragging the crap through the public's eyes. There's less to hate about the Canucks now that they're not at the top and we don't have Kesler and co (Burrows is even more mellow now). So what to do next? Hate the Canucks for their owners. Ridiculous! Anyway, I think the Canucks are better than they were last year and the year before so the strategy so far seems decent. Will it win us a cup? Who knows but the Canucks have a long history of being horrible and they didn't win the cup that way neither! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure doesn't count.. we all know the situation involve with him I'd say Tanev is a star, and he wasn't drafted. Top 3 defenceman on pretty much any team in the league IMO. Quietly goes about his business, very effectively. I guess it just depends on what you consider a "star". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
