For what? Next years first and second? No thanks.
- VanHockeyGuy

Hopefully Edler

We'll draft him. Gonna be few lean years here I think we will pick well.


- LordHumungous

I hope that what happens, the alternative is to overpay.

That would work, but you know it will also involve a pick(s) which they should be at loathe to part with.

It is Benning. The pick is expected, it goes without saying.

The first and second round picks over the next few years are critical. You just can't dole them out.

Grigorenko is in Colorado with his junior coach Pat Roy. He's not being moved anytime soon

This is why I think we win the cup this year.

Brock Boeser scores a hat trick with the Sedins in his first exhibition game, makes the team and forc es Jim Hughson to call him 17 year old rookie sensation .

Grenier finds instant chemistry with Sutter on and off the ice to find many years of scoring bliss and harmony.

Hansen gets smoked during a practice by a Sbisa hit/miss that was meant for the other team . He gets amnesia and forgets he has hands of stone and scores 35 goals next year.

Linden Vey avoids steroids scandel with some good masking and turns into a beast as the best 4 th line shut down centre in the league.

Edler stops reading Bieksas self help Defence for Dummies book.

Sbisa gets tired of being insulted and becomes the all star Dman Benning knew he was.

Miller gets injured, Markstrom gets shelled and third string Canata steps in to win the Vezina and Calder.

We finish the year as third time presidents cup champions!!!

Out in 4 in the first. ....

Good, that way we can keep our picks.

I dont remember off hand how many prez cups with have, but the oilers have 5 Stanley cups. Canucks 0. I love when people try to use historybto prove a point, but like to cut out what they dont. The oilers will turn it around at some point a s you will be complaining about the picks they got to do it. Tour just bitter hockey fan grow up. Teams have their down points and highs.

So the answer to the question is 0....
Stanley is a park, the president, well he rules the free world

It is mind boggling how many people just don't get that

If you look up on google Rypiens girlfriend killed in car crash , there is reference to it.


Type Rypiens girlfriend death

Maybe it was a high school girlfriend but didn't happen right before his death.

Won't complain at all. Vancouver needs to put themselves into a position to draft a franchise player(s), just like Edmonton did.

In all honesty I would trade next year's first and second to buffalo for Sam. Just don't think buffalo would. There is an opportunity to get one of their 3 first line prospects.

I just don't want to have to trade our defenceman leader and true team backbone, Sbisa, to do it.

I don't see Buffalo moving the second overall for the 15 th and 45 but Sbisa now that is a different story

Yes it was Pyatts fiancée killed in the Caribbean.

I like Sam, first rounder okay. Plus someone from Utica.

Yes, Rypien's girlfriend was killed in a car accident while he was still in junior, with the Regina Pats:

I'm not sure that would cause his depression, but it's certainly a heavy burden for a young man to bear.

Anyway—on to lighter topics. A closer look at Pavel Bure's new Legends Hockey League in today's new blog:

Oh yeah? Well I just flagged your flag.

It's the only thing most canuck fans know. Any suggested divergence from mediocrity is met with ridicule on these boards.

Most fans on here want to keep things just the way they always have been. Change is scary.
- bloatedmosquito

Most fans, yes of course. What kind of feeble mental tally are you working with?

Anyone that tries to add validity to their statements by throwing "most fans" in front of it, probably doesn't have a valid statement to begin with.

BTW, it's not me saying that, however "most fans" are seem to agree with me, sorry
