I wouldn’t put much credence in that list. They don’t even have Victor Soderstrom in the top 10.

When his agent threatened NHL or back to Sweden Benning traded him.

I guess the SJS AHL team didn’t goes as well for him either though so I wouldn’t be so quick to put it all on Cull. He choose to go home instead the Shark’s camp. That one I find strange, no.
Being the property of 3 NHL teams, and never playing in the NHL is a sign that something is wrong. We never did ask what flaws Ottawa saw in him, as it was considered a "steal" when we got him for an untradeable Burrows.

But, Meh, we still have Karlsson as a prospect, so we still got something.
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

Yeah, he should have given the Barracudas a shot. Or join an SHL team.
Going back to Timrå is probably not the smartest career at this point.
But I guess he was feeling home sick... :|
Timra get demoted last season? I thought Dahlen got them through promotion before he came over?
Yup. He brought them up, but in his absence they crashed out again.
They only got to spend one season in the SHL this time.

They ended dead last with just 44 points in 52 games, and remember, a regulation time win is 3 points!

Then the two worst teams have to face challengers from Hockeyallsvenskan in a best out of seven series, and Timrå lost that series against Oskarshamn in seven.

Whenever a Canuck prospect gets raving reviews Blob pulls out the conspiracy theory card - “that list where Hoglander is ranked 2nd has zero cred!”

Blob - “I’ve seen lists where you can flip Hughes and Dobson either way but the list RD pulled (Hughes 8th, Dobson 18th) has zero cred!”

Are we sure Blob isn’t an MS sock

You were a guy banging the drum for Soderstrom quite a bit last year. Do you really believe he isn’t even in the top 10 of that list? My comment has fuck all to do with Hoglander and more to do with Soderstrom not being on the list and Broberg being ranked 8th. But yes the entire board knows you aren’t capable of being objective at all. I can guarantee that if Vancouver drafted Soderstrom and you saw that list you’d be losing your shit.

If I’m an MS sock you are an MS thong.

Actually there were a number of scouts who weren’t high on Soderstrom, same with Broberg

Benning absolutely slayed the Hoglander pick! Cue in John Shorthouse

Only Horvat (traded Schneider for him) to show for 6 drafts by Gillis?!?!?! If that isn’t organization ruining I don’t know what is

6 drafts, only Horvat, at the expense of former first round pick - Schneider. Just wow.

Poor Benning. What a fucking disaster he inherited.
