Why am I paying $70 basically for a lot of channels I'll never watch. So I'm doing the same adding TSN for a month. Then I'll cancel it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 How's Guenther been looking so far? (Also wonder if any fans have seller's remorse given how he was taken with what was our #9 pick). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight we should have let the bad contracts run out and continue building thru the draft. But hindsight is 20/20. Garland is a pretty good player and still pretty young. I'm glad JR has said he won't be trading away 1st round picks any time soon. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad that at the time of the draft, McTavish, Hughes and Johnson were already gone so it's not like there were any top C's or D available. My thought has always been we don't really need more wingers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how terrible Chychrun is now without OEL taking the hard minutes. I think that was a great trade for us. Garland and OEL are fantastic players.

A few players have taken significant steps forward after having been to NHL camps, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor F'n Garland is all I have to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every 1st we’ve traded have been some of the best trades we’ve ever had. You gotta give up something valuable to get back something good in return. As long as the guy/s we get back are relatively young I’ve got no problem moving 1sts. I know it makes for a boring draft day, but I don’t watch because of the draft, I watch because I want to watch the best Canucks hockey possible so we have a shot at the cup. If that means trading high draft picks so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are very thin on defensive and centre prospects. Especially ones with size/speed and skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have any blue chippers but we have a lot of lottery tickets. D-men develop a lot later then forwards so I actually don't mind this strategy. Joni Jurmo Jacob Truscott Jonathan Myrenberg Hugo Gabrielsson Viktor Persson Jett Woo Toni Utunen I'm willing to call Utunen a very good Liiga d-man and write him off. Jett Woo may not crack the NHL either. However you then have a two year gap between them and the next guys in Persson, Truscott, and Jurmo. Myrenberg and Gabrielson are freshly drafted so it's much too early to say anything other then the fact that Myrenberg already has 10 SHL games under his belt. Most of these guys are 6 ft and taller and close to 200 lbs, so wouldn't call them small. Hopefully we don't trade out our next Gustav Forsling who took 6 years after being drafted to become a full time NHLer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
