League will rig the draft so they get Shane Wright and then move the team to Houston.

What I find sad is their arena was packed compared to the Sens, Sabres, Panthers, and the Cali teams. They have much better fans then  they are given credit for.

The Sens honestly don't deserve a team, I don't care if their owner is a douche,  9000 fans for a home opener is pathetic,  even worse for a Canadian team and this has been an issue for years now.

Worst fan fanbase in Canada imo.

So was walking from Tanev at that price/term. I'll go one further though...I actively cheer against them wish nothing but failure in their careers as long as they're in Calgary. 

 Very happy they aren't here for 3 and  5 more years. Neither have looked good since around the halfway mark last season.

Special teams needs to be better.

 

I look right at the PK. Strangely enough over Green''s tenure he has failed to develop any of our own prospects to play this role. Constantly this team has consistently had to go out to acquire pieces to play the PK. Considering that the last 3 years the only player that has considerably been developed to play the PK is Tyler Motte, but yet against wasn't a prospect for us.

 

As much as the tactics and overall execution has to be better by the players and Baumgartner who institutes the plans. Green has to be better at developing PK players from within. As of now, considering its a carousal of guys in there because Green hasn't done his job in developing guys to be there. Its time to see our home grown talent like Hoglander, Podkolzin, Rathbone put in those positions to grow so this team doesn't have to constantly buy these pieces in free agency or trade.

I thought Jake would have been good to try at PK. Hogs would be a good candidate. If we can teach Lockwood in Abby to be ready to PK. We have a few prospects that could be developed. 

We need to get the most out of our draft picks.

remember when we thought Bo HOrvat was going to be a Selke winner?

I would say Horvat, Myers and Highmore were out of position on the final Philly goal

if you can't trust your captain, who can you trust?

That said, Horvat hasn't had good tutoring or mentoring my opinion

Yep.. and Bergerons line has never been scored against.

Hopefully OEL doesn't ignore Brock like the other #23 that patrolled the point on the PP for a while 

That was straight up infuriating lol. Brock would be teed up at Ovie ‘s hash marks with no one around him with his stick cocked in the air ready to fire. Edler would look and turn towards him, angle his stick like he was going to pass to Brock, then not and proceed to wrist it into someone’s skates or shin pads lol. Grrr. So glad we have two legit PP QB’s on this team now.

If Lockwood becomes a PK'er, he could slot straight into the bottom six...without shadow of doubt. He is Motte 2. 

With confidence we will also become a goal treat....

If you put Rogers Arena in Mission, with no improvements in traffic, transit or roads. You'd probably struggle to fill the building as well. 

Some fans hate our owners and they spend to the cap. Why Arizona and Florida build their arenas outside Phoenix and Miami doesn't make sense either.

are you suggesting that Bo will be in the Selke conversation this year or next?

A nice team to bounce back against.  Let's make it happen.

Shaw quoting John Wooden - wow - . Shaw is obviously an excellent man. Chapeau. Expectations are high on you, Mr. Shaw. You have to make this D-Core better. Nothing less.

Hope the Nucks can pad some stats tonight 

and not make a second rate team and goaltender look like cup camps. 
It should be a blow out.
