A reach. Maybe he'll prove us wrong but this feels quintessentially Canucks.

I like the second pick process. She is at least getting straight to the point. Stenberg as expected.

. But I need more interviews with Gavin's friends and family! I hope we don't see this much focus on the picks after this. I get that the #1 pick is a big deal but this is overkill!

Is Buble gonna draft for the Canucks? I will give the NHL credit though - whether you love him or hate him, Bieber is a legit celebrity and not some B-rate one the NHL usually relies on at these events. A bit weird but I don't mind this style... if they could just do it a little faster!

No theman....but I would be excited if the Leaves were playing a high end leveling game and plucked Stenberg out from under the Sharks and threw the draft into a flux right away. Presumably SJ would transition to McKenna BUT if they prefer Reid at that point as the BPA in their minds maybe just ...

This has been a great few days for the league, less so for the Canucks. I mean, not bad for the Canucks but obviously they have been quiet at a time where trades are finally picking up. Really good to see even though the SJ trades make it very likely they will draft Stenberg. For me I was hoping the ...

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 ...
