Didn't get back what I wanted for Kes. Disappointing but he cornered us like A complete bumhole and gave use no choice. I'm happy with bonino. I think he's super under rasted. But it wasn't enough. First round pick is nice but it's a poopty draft. However. Drafting jake virtanen. So mint. Screw the sure eh bs. Kids a player and I'm happy we got him. Could be the steal of the draft.

Bonino Sbisa Dorsett and 24 th is pretty good for Kes

You really have to add Dorsett to he amount we got for Kes. I like that return.

Sanheim Bro. We need a future Dman. This guy is big tough and scores
- VANTEL


Elite offensive skillsets need to be drafted early & stocked when possible. Decent scouts should be able to pinpoint good developmental dmen throughout the draft as well as find late blooming free agents types to bring in (ala Tanev). When it comes to claiming assets, I'd much rather spend early picks on elite/rare skillsets.

Really doubt he has the skill to run a second line.........

We now have two top six players (if you still count Daniel)

I REALLY Like the Fact that Virtanen is the second youngest player in this draft.


2 months older than Jack Eichel.

I think if he was elite he would have been gone by now. He is good but you have a chance to grab one of the best D ,you take it

No. I knew we weren't going to get anything out of this world for kesler because spezza is on the market. I'm getting Dorset softens the blow. He's a slid bottom six player that the Canucks sorely lack.

Hornquist 4.25m
Spalling (RFA) 1.5m

Neal 5m

Not sure where the $ plays in

Two players for one for a team with not much cap space.

He is elite. The only question is his health. Came off of major surgery but the kid is a legit player. I'm beyond satisfied.

I hear you but it's tough to imagine both of them combined making uo for Neal's offense. Neal's been scoring at more than a PPG clip over the past 2 seasons. Even playing alongside Malkin I don't think Hornquist comes close to that.

I'm guessing there were other issues with Neal though.

Think Kempe gets picked before #24 but some of the others might be there.
