If the Canucks are truly committed to a rebuild, I would try to trade Demko. I would even be willing to retain on it, could help getting a decent return. It would not be an ideal situation but might be the best, bad move they could make in regards to their G situation.

A GM's self-preservation termination.

Yeah, apparently K had quite the end of season interview with the GM too

Canucks to hold press conference at 1 pm PST.

Oilers fire Knobhead

It’s a glorious morning. Canucks pick will be 24th unless Anaheim knock out Vegas.

So is the new management group official yet?

I mentioned in another post today full NMC's are moveable, but Filip's could be tricky. Not sure why he insists on sticking around for this. Guessing by mid way next season he will have had enough. Why so horny to trade him? We need a few veterans who don’t suck, or the losing culture will set in a ...

Which one of them plays 3C then?

Neither, EP 40 does.

Yeah, 8 consecutive playoffs now. They always look strong... but just can't seemingly get over the hump. 3 Conference Final losses. Maybe this is the year the get past it? Imagine picking your #1 center in the 2nd round, while his much more highly-rated linemates from Finland's golden era quickly ...

Stay Gold.

If I lived in the GVRD, I am driving DeBrusk to the airport. Might even pick up EP40 along the way.

Good OP, only change I would make is Oghren from green to blue. Think we have a 2nd line winger with him.

Craig has the Canucks picking Caleb Maholtra at 3. Days he has 1C potential, that is the first time I have head of that. Craig also has Stenberg falling to 4th. I just don’t see Malhotra being demonstrably better than his dad in the NHL. His numbers look gaudy, but this is also the first season w ...
