I just hope Pods wife is more adventurous than Tryamkin's. She should know that he always planned to have a career in Van and she should start toking up to get used to the smell.

Exactly - forget about Pod, JB needs to travel to Russia to meet the Mrs. Pod and figure out her likes and dislikes. Also better get in touch with the Vancouver Russian society and have a welcoming party for them.Carl Yagro wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 10:46 am I just hope Pods wife is more adventurous than Tryamkin's.

Does Gillis still have a job if he drafts:
Theodore instead of Shinkaruk
Karlsson instead Hodgson
Rakell instead of Jensen
Kuznetsov instead of Ballard
O’Reilly instead of Schroeder
Pearson instead of Gaunce
Theodore instead of Shinkaruk
Karlsson instead Hodgson
Rakell instead of Jensen
Kuznetsov instead of Ballard
O’Reilly instead of Schroeder
Pearson instead of Gaunce

If he had such foresight, he’d just pick all the winning lottery numbers, live on a private island, and be the owner of the Canucks as a side hobby.

The real obvious misses there are Theodore and O'Reilly.
However, O'Reilly, while a decent player, didn't turn into a real force until he had been traded twice and had a stint in Europe. If I recall he had some attitude issues as well. Sure, he put up points, but his emergence as an elite 2-way center didn't happen until he landed in St. Louis.
Ballard wasn't drafted by Gillis, and was actually a reasonable trade at the time. He was a complete bust in Vancouver though because he simply didn't gel with the roster or the coach (one or both?). Gillis failure regarding Ballard was that he didn't move him out when it was clear that he was going to pay a guy over $4M in cap to not be an oft healthy scratch.
Re: Canucks Young Guns
Gillis grabbed Ballard when it looked like he wasn't going to get Hamhuis but then that did happen. War of the hip checks.
Ballard was a dying breed. Didn't appear AV was a big fan. A 4.2 million per loss for MG.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
ROR is a decent player? WTF? The guy is a very good player. Top 5 two way centre along with Couturier, Barkov, Kopitar, Bergeron.
He was a great pick by Colorado. Not surprising that team has drafted well for years.

I agree that flakes get exposed in the playoffs though.
Is the NHL not the pinnacle league for ice hockey? Does the K play for the Stanley cup? Is not having your name carved into the cup the ultimate goal of every kid everywhere?
I dunno I can’t even tell you if the K plays for a cup or what’s it’s called. Hardly give a crap to know anyway
Aren’t all the best Russian players in the NHL hall of fame?
Seems more like fact than hubris. If you’re a pro hockey player you want in the NHL but might have to settle for something less if your skills aren’t top notch
If you could play in the NHL but you choose some other league you ought to have your head or heart examined
