Have to think there would be more teams interested more than those 4 mentioned. Detroit to me only makes sense if Bo signs as a UFA July 1st, followed by a childhood picture of him wearing Detroit swag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Curse Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Carolina is stupid if they think they are going to win a cup with that team - no way they get past Tampa, Boston would also think: BOS NYI CBJ with ext DET with ext DAL LA PHIL with ext WSH would all have some degree of interest, to me Dallas has a great potential package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. Wright may be able to step in next year and contribute. Remember, he was supposed to go #1 overall at one point, so the talent is there and he had a good world juniors. If we draft Bedard I can see this: Miller Wright Bedard Bedard played right wing at the WJC. With Wright at centre and playing that 200' game that could free up Bedard and Miller to absolutely destroy the opposing team in the offensive zone. With Petey and Kuzy on the other line, oh my...

Petey, Hughes, Wright, Bedard. That would be one heck of a core four. Add Double Bubble Demko and that’s a Cup level core five. Build out the supporting cast (like how Gillis did) and we are looking darn good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign Ryan Graves and Jake Livingstone in the summer as free agents. Trade for Callan Foote and let him play with his father. Keep Hughes, Schenn and Bear. There are your 6 guys. Plus OEL is still around. Maybe Adam Foote can help turn his game around... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but look at teams that do win. They often have one really good D (who they drafted) and then make smart trades and signings to build out the rest of their group. We have Hughes. We need to use Gillis like greatness to bring in the rest of the D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had some BC born player who were hall of famers, and they never want to come home to play, Sakic, Yzerman, Kariya to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
