Seriously, Im looking forward to a brash in your face type team again, Kesler and Bieksa had it in spades and its obviously apparent Hughes does too. Gaudette possibly as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette possibly as well ever since 2011 this team seems to have wanted more of the gentleman vibe in the locker room. It'll be a welcome change if the team plays a more in your face style, with on and off ice swagger to boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy only needs to be our toughest player for one more year, and then he can pass off those duties to Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock is going to score 50 when Hughes gets adjusted to the NHL. Sick apples sauced to the spot on the regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word is that Benning finally figured out the security system and has accessed the old lab that Gillis built under Rogers Arena. Jonathan Wall is currently busy flushing out the tanks and prepping the system for producing Q clones.

The NHL takes the whole “exclusive rights” thing pretty seriously. Ethical norms and worldwide bans on human cloning, eh.. not so much. But you can definitely get into a lot of trouble from league offices for cloning another team’s draft property. But if we land Jack, I think we still have some extra cloning tanks available. There are reportly a bunch left from the old Gillis experiments. Unfortunately, Jordan Subban was the top drafted D in that era. So they blew much of their budget cloning Subbs. Surprisingly, these clones never really worked out and most failed terribly. Something strange kept happening where the Subban clones always ended up out of position and getting caught on the wrong end of the cloning tank.

Canuck Drogo Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 9 hours ago, Nooks said: Glass has looked awful the whole showcase. Totally hey! Several times throughout the game today I found myself breathing a sigh of relief that we took Pettersson lol. And even though there was no question that we were taking Hughes when we he was still on the board this year, I was so grateful that he fell to us and we didn’t end up drafting Wahlstrom like many of the mock drafts had us doing. Wahlstrom looked pretty average today and just like in the final minute of the U18 gold medal game, in the final minute of today's game Jack Hughes gifted him a cross ice pass and Wahlstrom failed to bury it in the open net. I know i’ve only seen a small sample size of him, but despite being a prolific goal scorer, he hasn’t shown to be very clutch when needed most. I’m over the moon stoked with our picks these last two drafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when a kid drafted 2 years after you and 2 spots behind you had the option to make the team before you - the big picture might be a little harder to see.
