Yup :(, i really want us to get him and him to join us. We really need a hometown hero who is elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-23 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 If Nucks don’t make those last minute comebacks against the Blues and Preds, and lose that Stars game like we should have since we got outplayed…would’ve been tied for 31st. Expecting an 8-12 range pick now with Demko back and the Blues and other teams losing now.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the new young guys we acquired, whether we plan to keep 'em or not, need to see our star/core players play like they're such. It shows them that this team is not just here to tank for 1st overall, but still has aspiration to succeed. To play the right way. To win!!!!! Don't get me wrong. I know our chances for 1st are better if we lose, lose, lose; I'd love our Canucks to get Bedard 1st overall. Whatever position we end up at season's end, I'm sure players/coaches/management will want to know that they had won or lost while playing good hockey. That's really all that matters to me now. Besides. who here doesn't love a winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I love how people just automatically think he's going to want to sign here after his ELC. I get the premise of is with him being from here, but then how come Shea Weber or Sakic or other players outside of Hamhuis haven't done the same?

Well he has repeatedly talked about being a Canucks fan. I don’t know about signing here after an ELC unless that ELC was with us. He is still under club control as an RFA and can’t just sign anywhere he wants. If he is as good as advertised, his team would match any offer sheets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ey40 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Why would anyone think tanking can get the Canucks first overall pick? In the 2016 Draft The Jets finished higher than the Canucks and they ended up selected 2nd overall, which turned out to be Patrik Laine. So given the luck of this franchise I would not cheer for tanking hard for Bedard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't fully get it, but I guess that's how some people on CDC seem to want to think. One point of Bedard being from here and being a Canucks fan and immediately people seem to think it means he's not going to be loyal to whatever team drafts him. I've seen his interviews. I have a hard time not seeing him loyal to whatever team he's on when he's almost always talking about his team first before himself. lol Edited March 4, 2023 by The Lock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBJ is in good hands with him back running things. I think Davidson still owns a place in the Okanagan. That is where Bedard likely ends up but we can hold onto the dream. Maybe the lottery works in our favour this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 1970 to 2022 our seasons ended short, Which did not lead to a Stanley Cup. So given the luck of this franchise I would not cheer for going hard after a cup.
