Re: How to fix the Canucks defense?
Hmmmmm
25th pick in a horrific draft <<< 33rd pick in an excellent draft
Michael Grabner = < if anything slight edge to McCann who could break out
5th round pick << 4th round pick
Bernier was a cap dump after two solid seasons in the top 9 of a division winner he was acquired for a previous 2nd and 3rd round pick but those picks have no business being discussed in this trade.
Gudbranson = Ballard Only comment here is both of these players reeked the joint out 90 % of their time here. They both were awful and overpaid and overplayed.
These trades are both horrible. Not much to choose really

Doesn’t matter. Gillis in his own words said “he didn’t like who was available and so he felt justified trading the pick. Kuznetsov, Coyje and Brock Nelson were 3 of the next 4 players drafted. Gillis didn’t like Russians, had no interest in drafting last year’s playoff MVP

Re: How to fix the Canucks defense?
Good thing it was a dud pick then. Wasnt that trade made on the draft floor? Did gravy neck make it once he saw there was only garbage left?

Re: How to fix the Canucks defense?
It was on draft day for sure. I remember hearing the details later that day. I was at the C’s game and won the 50/50 draw and I really didn’t give a fuck about the trade at that point.Uncle dans leg wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 6:13 pmGood thing it was a dud pick then.

Re: How to fix the Canucks defense?
Ok good i was right. I cant fault him for not picking russians. Theyre fucked. Coyle and Nelson arent world beaters either but would have been welcome on the current roster.RoyalDude wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 6:12 pmDoesn’t matter.

Re: How to fix the Canucks defense?
Thing is most adults realize Karlsson was ranked anywhere from 20 to 35. Big reach for a brand new GM hired a month or two before. Funny Elmer is blameless for Virtanen due to start date on the job but Tryamkin from the same draft is all his doing. Dud didn’t even know who Erik Karlsson was on draft day.Uncle dans leg wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 6:16 pmOk good i was right. I cant fault him for not picking russians. Theyre fucked.

When he was drafted i think he was 150lbs or something. Skinny like a pipecleaner.

Re: How to fix the Canucks defense?
Great analytics from the Senators scouting department for seeing something in Karlsson. Gillis went on and on about his analytics on Hodgson saying his IQ was off the charts, etc.

Re: How to fix the Canucks defense?
Russians are fucked. That was when the khl was sucking talent back over the water and Birdy was probably leaning that way... For every kuznetzov theres a dozen flake-tards who suck.RoyalDude wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 6:22 pmSure...Kuznetsov. Whatevs. No big deal.
