Imo, cheaper to keep a player with Millers' calibre than re acquiring a similar player - unless, ofcourse the Canucks pick top 3 in this loaded draft. This is what I'm sort of starting to shift my hopes to... if we can acquire assets for guys that you don't see being here 1-2 years from now, and those acquired assets are younger players who are entering their prime in 1-2 years, then we might actually be able to actually achieve a (relatively) quick retool that sees are more competitive 2-3 years from now, while also somewhat restocking our cupboards via this year's draft.

As great as it would be to see a top 3 pick come to Van, unless that player is directly stepping into the NHL, we are potentially wasting that pick if: a) we haven’t upgraded or improved our development system b) have the current coaching in place i hate the idea but if we have to rebuild it needs to start by wiping the slate clean, even if that involves using JB and his sources for the draft and then letting him go. Or better yet, bring in another GM prior to. So many early first round busts, JB’s talent is picking gems in the later rounds. if we get anywhere near the top 3 I would be very concerned about it going to waste under this regime Edited November 24, 2021 by RWJC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted November 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2021 Game plan: 1) shoot lots 2) get bodies at the net 3) simple passes and ones that build off one another, stop the pretty and risky long stretch passes 4) be hungry, get to the middle of the ice and pay the price 5) get that damn first goal 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
