I just want to take BPA but it's certainly hard to know who that will be. There is so little consensus in this draft. I get really nervous about Caleb Malhotra. I understand he's a highly coveted prospect but I don't want to see the Canucks draft him at third. I just think his rise has been too ...

Go leaves go! So worth staying up for this lol. Oh well. I don't know if I can be asked for the number 2 pick lottery now. Was the predictable outcome but would have been nice to win this lottery. Argh.

Chuck - if you finish below .500, no ticket price increase the following season https://x.com/ESPNNBA/status/2043442426178658695?s=20 Love Chuck! He's so right about this and just reminds how terrible ownership is in Vancouver. I used to be less concerned in the past because I just felt they were ...

Thanks for sharing. More candid then I was expecting which is so refreshing. Seems like a fair account and clearly that one year is special to him (holding it in higher regard than his current team). I wonder if he will stay in Minnesota or move on. My gut tells me he at least explores free agency ...

These latest draft rankings really speak to the uncertainty of this process. Despite way more coverage and focus on the draft, it's still very much a crapshoot. I frankly don't know what to make of Button's list. I think he's the first that has Stenberg out the top 2 which raised my eyebrow. So far ...

Yep for sure. I edited my post but initially referenced Gillis too. I took it out because that's related to a poll question I've had on the back of my mind which is better for the long off-season!

He had a great Jr. Season in Sweden...sort of meh in two SEL seasons and then cruised into the NHL with a 20 goal 60 point rookie season. We have, to this day , never drafted a legit #1 centre. Sedin + Kopitar + Kesler = Stanley Cup. But yeah....who knows what Bourdon might have been.... Wait, are ...

Semantics aside, the previous management was 2/3rds to 3/4's of the way through a rebuild before fans and media decapitated them and this current group threw it away for their own incompetent and now disastrously failed plans. Just took them a cool 8 years to complete 2/3rds to 3/4s of a rebuild. I ...

Fair value. I was surprised they had a second on the table to begin with. Happy for Meyers that he at least got to control his destination - only learned about his son recently so happy this worked out best for everyone involved. The Canucks rep is bad enough, they didn't need a drama unfolding with ...

Whatever the case, I hope that Myers waives and gets traded. It will be super uncomfortable if he insists on staying, especially as there are rumours that Detroit is offering a 2nd. I didn't have Myers as a likely trade target mostly because I didn't think teams would covet him that much. He's a ...

I feel like some posters are overrating both JT Miller and Bo Horvat and I don't really get it. While I really liked those guys, I don't see any scenario where the Canucks would have been cup contenders maintaining either (or both). At their absolute peak, I would label them as: JT Miller = Average ...

Disappointing but great game to watch! Needed to hold possession as others mentioned, and capitalize on the chances we had. Goaltending wound up being the difference which was the chatter pre-tournament. Yep. Hellybuck finally had his moment. He was outstanding. I thought Binnington was solid - don ...

Gotta finish your chances. Uncharacteristic of MacKinnon to miss that open net. No one to blame though really. Had our best 3 out there and came up short. Tough to lose this one. I guess you could say the US was due. They ironically probably played better in the four Nations final but they got the ...

Hope you got your coffee ready boys - it's game time!

I'm meanwhile desperately trying to get home on time for puck drop!

LET'S GO!!!!!!!

Does Verhoeff need to improve his skating? Yes, for sure. But let's not throw the baby out with the bath water just yet. Assessing multiple scouting reports and personal optical analytics (i.e. see for yourself) as opposed to basing judgement on one man's evaluation would be prudent. Thanks for ...
