Cripes Benning, pace yerself!

McCann looks like a smug d!ck in every photo I've seen of him... so obviously I like the pick.

any relation, Herr Doctor?

I have to say I'm kind of on the fence on this. I think choosing a home-grown guy has great feel-good potential and would be ecstatic if Virtanen ends up being a huge part of the team and any future success, but I think the local thing comes with a lot of additional pressure to meet or exceed expectations. You know how fickle this city's "fans"

That said, everytime I see Gallagher play I get an ulcer

Totally. Just noting the grass is always greener mentality on the boards. I'm excited for the future, can't wait to see some of these kids progress.

He looks a bit like Bob Sugar, that guy was a d!ck.

Definitely, it's going to be a lot of fun watching these guys develop and to actually be excited about the Canucks prospect pool for once

Cameron Crowe should get off his ass & write a Jerry Maguire sequel already

Kesler 2.0?

Glad to see Demko go to you guys early in the second. He's a good goalie with lots of potential, but an even better kid. I'm jealous he got to meet Linden.

Kesler 2.0?

Hmmmmm.....meat and potatoes, now I know why there will be 5 different hot dogs this year, just wondering if there'll be 5 different types of fries.

Will there be any marijuana fries or beer fries?

I'm surprised most are "meh" on Jared "it is what it is" McCann. He's a solid value at #24. I would have been fine with any of McCann/Barbashev/Scherbak/Kempe at that pick.

Everyone knows I wanted Ehlers at #6, but again Virtanen was #2 or #3 on my list with Nylander at that pick.

Dope! Call it a "Potine". But make sure it's sativa dominant 'cuz dosing our crowd with indica is the only conceivable way the Rogers Arena atmosphere could get any (frank)ing lamer. There would be audible snoring... Then again, I guess any noise would be an improvement.

Linden had a cryptic comment at the end of the draft re-cap on the Canucks youtube about using the cap space to their advantage with so many teams feeling the crunch. Trader Jim's got more trades coming at us?

Linden: "we got some cap space not only for FA but also for other teams looking to make moves or who may have to move something and we are pretty popular right not when it comes to that sort of thing" - almost a direct quote.

How many contracts do we have outside of junior?

Sharp for Chi is a candidate. We can make stupid trade offers like they did and say their hands are tied they have to

Sharp for Higgens
