Boston would be in the same conversation as Tampa if they grabbed a combo of barzal, boeser, Connor, chabot. They would have had a seamless transition of cores. I’d have to think they’d have won another cup as well.Vin Tanner wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:29 pmSo might Kyle Connor… but Mikko is better than both guys. It was an excellent draft though.

It was a darn good pick.

Blob, raving about Newhook at this point is no different than counting Pod as a star NHLer.Vin Tanner wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 12:53 pmDrafting Rantanen at 10 was a hell of a pick. Ditto for Newhook where they got him. Or Makar the best player in his draft at 4. Yeah he’s a real bozo that Sakic.Richardstroker69 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 12:13 pmLol, that was sakic’s best move, I remember thinking he needs to shit or get off the pot with that deal, but holding as long as he did paid off for him.Vin Tanner wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 11:45 am Yes a potato could have gotten a return of a 1st, a 2nd, a 3rd, Bowers, Kamenev, Girard and Hammond for Matt Duchene. Absolutely.
Sincing getting gifted McKinnon, Sakic's three best draft picks since 2014 are Makar (stud), Rantanen (stud), and Jost. In fact, those are the only draft picks that could be considered NHLers.
Since 2014, Benning has drafted Demko, Boeser, Pettersson, Hughes, Hoglander.
Would you trade Demko, Boeser, Pettersson, Hughes, Hoglander for Rantanen, Makar, and Jost? I sure wouldn't.
Then you also have Benning picks contributing on other NHL teams - McCann, Forsling, Gaudette.
Then you also have the Benning prospects that are as close to NHLers as Byram and Newhook - Lockwood, Rathbone, OJ, Podklozin.
Would you trade Lockwood, Rathbone, OJ and Podkolzin for Byram and Newhook?
And Benning has done it all without a top-4 pick in any draft.
Back to my original point, I don't see Newhook and Byram - two possible NHLers who will be starting their draft+3 seasons in the AHL most likely - as enough to keep the window open once McKinnon doubles his salary.

so has the first domino fallen? Wild re-sign Kaprizov to $45 mil over 5 years - $9 mil average.

Re: Canucks Contracts
Yup Kaprizov $9 million per over 5 years. Mr. Jim Benning/Aqualini’s you cheap cunts, you’re going to lose this one, suck it up buttercups, the market dictates.

Re: Canucks Contracts
Lol Olaf is now just as close to the NHL as Byram and Lockwood the same as Newhook. You can’t make this shit up.

I mean, Byram's been touched by Joe, so I guess he's got that in common with Tanner

Re: Canucks Contracts
What I want to know, is Doyle still picking Turcotte ahead of Podkolzin in a re-draft

Re: Canucks Contracts
Benning Ball Washers are the best. Lotsa sperm in their mouths. Curious if it entered that way or up the ass. Nobody can be this stupid.

Re: Canucks Contracts
Did I say he was top pairing currently?
This oughta be good.

Re: Canucks Contracts
Boy Vin, you sure escalated quickly. I didn't realize how deep your love for Sakic goes.
Hmm, wait a minute...Blob and Sakic...getting rough at late-night hockey matches back in the mid-70s...I wonder if this was the song playing:

Would you trade Demko, Boeser, Pettersson, Hughes, Hoglander for Rantanen, Makar, and Jost?
Lockwood, Rathbone, OJ and Podkolzin for Byram and Newhook?
Finally, what were you wearing the first time you met Sakic? Or did it happen in the locker room showers down at the rec centre?

Re: Canucks Contracts
Byram was injured most of the back half of the year you raging pisstank. Remember when you announced to the board that Drysadale was Canada’s best D at the WJC. Drysdale played 7 minutes in the final and Byram led the team with more than 20 minutes. I linked it and you scurried into a hole. Good times. You had no response and tucked your tail.

Doyle is calling Byram the next Bobby Orr after limited viewings.
