Re: Time to Change the Oil.
The Oilers had 3rd best odds at drafting McDavid and won. Are they the brilliant rebuilders as IN states had they not won the lottery and instead drafted that bum Strome?
The Canucks had the 3rd best odds at drafting Matthews, but ended picking 5th.
Had they won the lottery like the Oilers did the previous year, drafted Matthews, are the Canucks brilliant re-toolers on the fly?

Just imagine if they had the 2nd overall pick and drafted Laine and followed that up with Matthews the next year. I'd venture the re-tool on the fly would have been heralded as brilliance.
The only HW the Canucks need

Re: Time to Change the Oil.
But they didn't.... and nobody held a gun to Elmers dome and forced him to hang onto assets( Hamhuis ,Vrbata )or sell them for pennies on the dollar or to sign shitty players to long term contracts. You guys act like if the Canucks had gotten Laine or Mathews that the rebuild would be miles ahead of where it is now.And you'd be totally wrongHockey Widow wrote:RoyalDude wrote:The Oilers had 3rd best odds at drafting McDavid and won.

Yes.... yes they are. Go huff scotchguard with Doc and Berry Picker cuz as usual you are way out to lunch. Marner, Poolparty and Big Leon are way better than any Canucks young guy/ prospect.
SHARP AS A MARBLE!!

I'm sorry Blobbo, you probably want a mulligan on that comment, because that was truly one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this here board.Blob Mckenzie wrote:You guys act like if the Canucks had gotten Laine or Mathews that the rebuild would be miles ahead of where it is now.And you'd be totally wrong

Re: Time to Change the Oil.
So the fact that they'd have one ,and ONLY ONE top line forward prospect instead of an alleged top line d prospect would propel the rebuild way, way further ahead. Wow, now I've heard it all. Maybe if they'd have made better picks with the actual picks they had they would also be in less of a mess.ESQ wrote:I'm sorry Blobbo, you probably want a mulligan on that comment, because that was truly one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this here board.Blob Mckenzie wrote:You guys act like if the Canucks had gotten Laine or Mathews that the rebuild would be miles ahead of where it is now.And you'd be totally wrong
