Crazy that Makar didn't go 1st overall. Don't know if they didn't scout enough or they were too heavily biased against the Alberta Junior League? Also, he had an outstanding final season at UMass. Once again, we get screwed by the HGs and have to settle for the Milk Carton Kid. Size, projection ...

It wouldn't surprise me one bit from these fucking guys... Especially after Rutherford chummed the waters with 'we want more Canadians' earlier this week. That dude just cant keep his gob shut. Can’t believe these guys still have their hands on the wheel after blowing .3. I don’t pretend to have any ...

Pens picked up another draft pick, and Girard for Kulak. They are doing a great job in gathering as many darts to throw at the board as possible. Hope Van is watching. "Pittsburgh now has 34 draft picks over the next four NHL drafts, which includes 20 selections in the first three rounds. No team ...

Miller being toxic seems over-blown to me. Halle-fucking-lujah!!! Guys who prove they are so committed by taking offense at others for their lack of commitment while simultaneously incapable of doing their own work (can’t back check anymore, take 1/8th if the year off for stress leave) because of t ...

Two of those players took less than market value to sign here long term, live here, be a Canuck, raise a family in our City and try to win. A different time - even if not so long ago. We're in a different world than when they signed those deals. Serious question here. I haven’t been to Vancouver in ...

I recall that OEL exercised his NMC and limited the destinations to us and Boston. I don’t recall anyone saying that he was a distressed asset that most of the league would have paid to part with. The OEL contract was widely panned when it was signed, and OEL followed up signing it with a poor s ...

If anyone takes him without retention, that IS the return. Unfortunately at this time he's a negative equity asset so it's going to take some sort of sweetener be it taking back a bad contract or attaching assets to complete a trade If someone wants him I'd say they can probably have him without ...

Yeah...I dunno...we have a way of eating our own (exes) as Canuck fans which I disagree with vehemently. Kesler Cooke Miller Hughes ...as examples. With the exception of Cooke, notice a trend??? Maybe something for management to keep in mind at the draft table. Right -- don't get good players at ...

First as a clarification/qualification of my original statement. I am predicated it on the word, diminishing , and therein lays the rub. A later trade brings a lesser return the more he diminishes, and/or the greater any expected retention will be, or the greater sweetener need be attached. With ...

Thanks!

A friend of mine won tickets to the last few games there. He said Makar was largely terrible defensively. He was on the ice for every goal against Canada since the game against France. Makar’s defensive game isn’t as good as Quinn’s generally, imho, but both are liable to take more calculated risks ...

I can’t find a good site for ice time to compare easily against Donny’s but it appears (https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/nhl/news/usa-canada-box-score-full-stats-2026-olympic-mens-hockey-gold-medal-game/77cac7cdf1edeeef3d67146f) US ice time was far less top heavy. Only Eichel inched above 20 minutes a ...

Watching Quinn wrap himself in that flag through the whole ceremony makes me think he was never destined to play in Canada. Makes me realize he never wanted to play in Canada. And Hellebuyck wrapping himself with the flag? That superstar would never play in Canada. Vancouver is/was a train wreck ...

One of my best friends is there now. Talked to him. Locked down.
