I’m saying that the bottom line is that one player will help his team in the playoffs in the nhl right now.....not just help. MT is a driving force on the team. agreed....it's laughable when CDC is talking about wanting Stone when we could have gotten a better player that would stir the drink in Van-city, but my team passed on him.when he was there for the taking...biggest blunder to date. LE is second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loks bad now, yes, but give it another 5 to 7 years and then we can really assess it. Same with Virtanen versus Ehlers. Takes time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we stole Pouliot and got Stetcher for nothing. GMs can't be right all the time. Last year's FA signing, I think that Roussel and Beagle are working out great, so that is 2 out of 3, a very high success rate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take EP tyvm. Linden, Benning and WD all felt it was a mistake to have kept Virtanen and McCann in the NHL - too much immaturity and it was their draft+2. The roster wouldn't have been any different as Tkachuk probably wouldn't have made the team that year (draft+1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roster wouldn't have been any different as Tkachuk probably wouldn't have made the team that year (draft+1). So if Tkachuk could make the Flames on a better deeper roster in his draft season, he wouldn't have made it on the canucks?? He might not even be on the canucks roster then, and might be labelled a bust considering how CDC works here. He could've gotten injured just like Juolevi. Going down this path is a slippery road. We won't know how it woulda or coulda happened because it never did. I think if the canucks drafted MT, he woulda made the roster, and the canucks would've had a better record in the season therefore drafting position would all be different. I feel we would not be able to have both MT and EP, if we drafted MT first instead of Juolevi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
