Don't forget Bourdon. Tanev was entirely developed here but undrafted, same with Stecher. Now let's see what we have with OJ, Rafferty, Rathbone and Woo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABNuck Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 So if the Flamers are now the Calgary Canucks, does that make us the Vancouver Capitals? Asking for a friend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Ward Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Only Torey Krug and Pietrangelo were better than the dman we got and we didn't have to commit to 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are two of the present top 4. your stories about 20 years are irrelevent. Why don't you survey how many teams drafted their top 4 and get back to us on that. I also don't see the part where you explain the relevence of this trade to overpaying in free agency.

He will be rushing the puck more in the first 10 games than Tanev in 164 games. He will be a 40-50 point player. We had no high end offensive defenseman two years ago, now we have two. Believe Appleboy, believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bieksa. I know what you mean in terms of having a long time span with no great draft picks (not just defensemen). But this management's drafting has been surreal no? You'll see some inhouse developed Dmen in short order here. Starting with Juolevi this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is over the last 20 years Canucks have not done well drafting top 2 D men. Argue all you want.

I am a Juolevi fan and i think he can maybe be a top 4 . I am pretty stoked to see Benning drafting Dmen high / first rounds the last few years... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why i blocked him long ago. Just a bunch of ignorance, negativity & hate. Benning could trade for a star player (fair trade) and he'd still hate / have issues with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to have to disagree on Bieksa, I think you're selling him a little short as a 2way dman in his heyday but to each their own. Regarding rest of your post, fair enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
