Isn't this the apex of his value? Do we need to watch another asset depreciate while he ages out when he could potentially bring back at mid first plus a decent add on? Or pair him with a rubbish contract like EP to stimulate the bowel movement? I think it pretty much is which is why the Canucks ...

Sure theman ...and again, I am not advocating here, just shooting the shit along with the tenor of the thread. So. On the other hand... We have RSD Willander already and if we have picks 2 3 we can go F with McKenna/Stenberg followed by D with Reid/Verhoeff so right handed D concern in the system ...

Carels to win cups.

And Stenberg?

Never expected the Avs to get swept. Go Canes or Montreal.

Not so fast guys and now MacKinnon has left the game.

I would re-sign Douglas for league min and sign McCarron, that 4th line would keep teams honest. Lekkerimaki might even be able to finish a game then.

Canes in 5
Avs in 7

Ryan Kesler as community relations expert?

If the players burned Foote in their exit interviews, then I would be in favour of his dismissal. Hopefully this means they will pass on Maholtra at 3, assuming Manny is promoted.

If they want Jr, use the Minny pick and some mi rounders to move up to 5 - 7 and take him then.

Or Lekkerimaki

Would you pick him at third Donny?

Is Carels a RD?

I would sign Buium for a long term deal this off season, hopefully 8 x 7m but no more than to 8 x 8m.

If they fall into Canucks lap, sure but I wouldn’t give up too many assets to pick them both.

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.
