For us, so much rides on that damn fucking lottery. Lose it and dark days to continue many more years with little hope in sight.
people need to mentally and emotionally prepare to draft a swede at 3rd.


Oh don't you worry, 50-ish years of fandom has prepared me well for this likely eventuality. Can't say I won't break things just the same.

I'm serious. Even though we all know we'll end up 3rd given the ludicrous odds, the moment the lottery balls officially land that way, I can almost guarantee it will piss you off as much or more than any of the many events that has sparked that emotion this year.

Any of the top 3 are phenomenal additions. That giant defenseman may end up being the best of the bunch for all we know

I'd love to see them land Mickey Dupont next summer as well. That kid sounds like a unicorn

I agree.

56 years. No cups. No first overall picks.

I think that if the league really does hate the Aquaowners then ensuring Vancouver falls the maximum 3 spots is a sure fire way to drive more longtime fans away from the team.

This season, more than other,s has many of us questioning our 'fandom' - Next year could be a make-or-break season for us. IF there are signs of progress, and a plan (or the team is sold) - there's hope. If this rudderless ship bullshit continues, we'll be joining Topper down in the mines of Moria.

I would appreciate it if you would refer to it as a nuclear handbag.

If JDicky16 and NicRoyBoyToy (<- Snoozi-inspired) can fetch 1st round picks, what the hell are these fucking guys sitting around and not trying to get a return for Ted Bluegear?

Nobody wants Kane. Trade the guys that other teams actually want. Also... bargain harder.

Morons.
