That would make sense.

He doesn't have to report to the AHL, he can go back to Europe is my understanding.

Ony the Canucks matter to me. As for the hockey world thats another story.
Messier accomplished what he did but still was a failure here.

We need to find a roster spot for him

He's got to open one.

No....he needs to earn a spot. He's 25 years old with almost 300 professional games under his belt. If he plays great, then find him a spot.

Our lottery hopes depend on being very lucky now

I have a feeling Benning went to see him play before he signed the contract with conditions

They always did, even the bottom team has an 80% chance of not picking first...themselves not good odds.

50 contracts, 20 spots....he'll have to show what he's got in order to stick.

Yeah but our chances almost are cut in half

Really, our roster shouldn't be that hard to crack. He may need a bit of time to re-adjust to the NA game, but it's not like we're overly skilled.

Hell, if it doesn't work out on the wing we could always try him on D.

9.5% to 6.5% I think....really who cares, winning is awesome, growth by the kids is awesome....they'll get a good player regardless.

A 90.5% chance of not winning to a 93.5% chance of not winning

But they could do better. Considering we playing Edmonton and Calgary to end off it could be a lot worse. We were first before this trip.

Yeah I'm from the future we traded tanev for edmontons first pick.

They end up where they end up....they're not going to try and lose so you might as well cheer for them to win!

The stick swinging incident was against Ted Green. If he'd done it against Horton I don't think we'd have a donut franchise.

It always did 😂

If we get the 4th or 5th I kinda hope we trade back to 8,9,10... Who knows what you would get for dropping 4 spots maybe a 2nd? If we have a top 10 pick were gona end up with one of chychrun, julvie, bean or sergachev.
- mauryballstein

Looks like they go into the lottery in 6th spot.
Odds of getting a 4th - 0.0000000%
Odds of getting a 5th - 0.0000000%

Great theory there
