After the lockout season of 2004 the first overall pick was awarded to Pittsburgh in a specially devised lottery. 4 teams got 3 balls, 10 teams got 2 balls, and 16 teams including our Canucks got 1 ball. Pittsburgh was one of the teams that had 3 balls, so their chances of landing the first overall pick was 6.3%. Seems as thought luck had more to do with Sid landing in Pittsburgh, then anything else. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I wouldn't be shocked to see some coaching changes. I think it would be smart to keep JB. He has stocked the cupboards with talent. If u are consistently drafting in the top 10 you are expected to have a bunch of talents lol. 2014 wasted 2 first. Juolevi is still an unknown. Traded away another 1st while we are still "rebuilding" traded a bunch of 2nds and traded away prospect for rentals. Our farm system ain't exactly loaded with players considering where we are finishing every year. With the exception of last year we have been bottom 5-8 in the league pretty consistently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our farm system ain't exactly loaded with players considering where we are finishing every year. With the exception of last year we have been bottom 5-8 in the league pretty consistently Hoglander was drafted in the 2nd round. Same with Demko. Rathbone was a 4th round pick. In a redo those guys all go in the first round. Boeser was a late first round pick. In a redo he's a top 10 pick. Our farm system isn't loaded because most of our young talent has graduated to the big club. And our best prospect plays in Russia. 3 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyd Vessy and the rest of the replacements need to go on waivers. Watch us keep the plugs and expose the good talent instead.

mll Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) 25 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: were they planning on playing 7 d maybe? dunno, if not it doesn't make a lot of sense. Or maybe they moved Lind to the taxi squad and forgot they used all of their call ups? They had the cap space to keep him up. Surprised that they prefer to play Michaelis over Lind but they likely think they saw enough of him. If there’s an emergency recall it probably won’t be Lind otherwise they would have just kept him up. Maybe because of the salary difference - over 10x less on the taxi squad but it’s pro-rated and there’s only about a week left.

In the past 10 years we've had 6 picks in the top ten, with all of them being 5th pick or lower. No #1-4 picks so I feel it's been pretty good considering. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again Lind was called up on emergency basis and need to go back when someone gets healthy. They don't have another regular recall left to move Lind back without someone getting injured and if someone did, think it is better spend on Gadj as he is on the same boat. Get mad if Lind, Bone, OJ, Gadj, Lookwood don't play on Tuesday/Wednesday. Edited May 13, 2021 by 24K PureCool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not seeing the talent, it's because they've already ascended to the NHL (the whole goal of having prospects) . JB needs to stay for one more draft. I don't care what happens after. Bring in Dean Lombardi if he even wants to work anymore. If I was a top level GM/hockey executive, I wouldn't want anything to do with Vancouver. I'd rather get the same position in a market where you don't have crazy fans taking pictures of you while you're grocery shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can’t wait for an injury to happen then call them up. There’s a seven day quarantine to consider. Never mind, already answered.

gizmo2337 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Ok, someone answer this question for me, because I don't know the answer. Could we have waived 1 or 2 players to get one of the young guys in? I don't fully buy that we don't have room or a way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
