aha good read the 1st 10 pages.

Looking back I wanted to get Fleury as "dmen take forever to develop".

This draft wasn't good for dmen however, after Ekblad the ok dmen left was/is Fleury, Sanheim and then we got Tryamkin!(russian factor tho).

2nd rounder Masin seems to be trending ok for TBL, same with Brandon Montour for the Ducks.

DeAngelo is bust, iirc he had issues in junior with his attitude/anger.

Could be if got Ehlers/Nylander they could have bumped us up in points a bit to where we couldn't have drafted Elias Pettersson maybe who imo will be better than both of them in the end.



Anyways 4 years later I'm still wanting to get a high end dman who has #1D potential!

Juolevi seems like a future top pairing guy / top 4D, but not a #1D.

2014 our dmen prospects were Corrado, Hutton and Subban, 4 years later it's Juolevi, somewhat huts/stecher/pouliot & Chatfield, Brisebois, Holm---Tryamkin has two more years on his KHL contract. Benning has concentrated more on the forward ranks and luckily goaltending nabbing Thatcher Demko this 2014 draft. :thumbs:

For the upcoming 2018 draft, we gotta work the dmen this time & it's a good one to pick a defenseman, hopefully with the veteran trades at the TDD we land another 1st or 2nd rounder(s).
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Would love to have Reinhart or Bennett though
Lol

Blobs gonna have your ass dude. :lol:

I wonder why?
My guess?

Certain people love digging up 4 year old arguments that nobody cares about anymore, just to make a point or renew a pointless Bitch session.. alpha egos being alpha egos and all that.

Huh. I guess I always thought it made the board seem like it was infested with a bunch of petulant little children with keyboards, temper tantrums, bullying, and the safety of moms basement opposed to a place where people can have different opinions and talk hockey like adults.

Guess I was wrong.

Anyways, off to work. Have fun on the internet today everyone!

We do not need old posts to do that, a regular poster or 2 does a great job acting like children with temper tantrums on a daily basis.

Which posters are you referring to Reef?

Wasn’t it you that wanted to cave in someone’s face with a bat at one time ?

Never, show me where I said it.

Not that few don’t need a good whack over the head.

By the way you are not the poster I’m talking about, that one will never admit they have a problem

Ok maybe it was Mëds. Someone was going to take a bat to someone’s teeth.... or perhaps a size 21 foot from a 6 ft 13 leg up their ass. Lotsa anger here.

I thought you and Dude were buddies Reef

RD has some insight into draft picks, but yuh just take it with a grain of salt.

I’m sure if I did say anything some will provide a link.
