Those four talk and i just want to jump off a bridge.

No doubt, very excited to have him on the team.
- belcherbd

yeah I would be IF van was a more contending team and the price was a bit different. Glad to have him but not glad what we gave up but if he helps van win games, I won't complain

I agree, basing it off one season would be silly and why I am saying that they both slot in the 3-4 spots. If I were to base it off one season of Hutton I would have no problem saying Gudbranson slots in as our 4th best D.
- belcherbd

Fair enough, I thought Hutton played like a 6th Dman so clearly we disagree

Is it not a case of you never watching the East the same way not one single person this way watches the West?
- walshyleafsfan

No it's not, I've seen enough of Gundbranson to have a strong opinion of his value.

On our team? as in you thought that Sbisa, Bartkowski/Biega were more effective players ?

I think we must disagree. back to normal I guess.

Oh OK. I just thought Vancouver fans argument worked both ways (like work would get in the way like the Van vs Leafs game). Works just one way. As you were then.

I think my posts go over your head sometimes? Hutton was our third best Dman...that doesn't mean he is a top 4 on a good team we are not a good team I'm sayin EG is a top 4 on a good team while Hutton most certainly isn't. Therefore, suggesting Hutton > EG =

I'm not sure what Gundbranson is...but I know this much, he is either our 2nd or 3rd best Dman. So that's makes him a top 2 or 3 on a good team?
- CanuckDon

He is a 3/4 Dman . Too much bloody whinning by the same guys every time.

We gave up a centre who was playing wing and will most likely be playing wing in Fla . Three four years from now who knows how he will do.

Once EG drops the gloves to protect a team mate they will love him here.

I remember the night Pedan had the 8 hits people were going nuts. EG plays like that every night

If you are ever uncertain just remind yourself that Canucks fans know more than Leafs fans. Then everything will become crystal clear

The real question is: Does he consider Gudbrandson a "Monster"??
- fiveandagame

I think the real question is can Gudbranson emulate the Double Dion?

Just listened to this, sorry if it has already been shared....

Benning on the 2nd round pick, that after talking about they realized that the players they were looking at in that position would be 5 or 6 years away from helping the team..... no poop




I don't think it could be any clearer that there is no rebuild.
- belcherbd

The person that would have been 5-6 years away because unlike what Lefty says after 15-20 the talent is thin.

I think Benning knows a little more about drafting than you do.

Some of us are employed, others are hockey experts. You know the drill.

So true...fans went mental when Tree didn't cower to a mid sized forward

Fair enough, like I said very early to be projecting Hutton.

Also as has been stated several times..
Jared was trying to sleep with Demco's girl... we know how that would end, right?

No need to be petulant, I'm not claiming anything like that.

Do you disagree that this team is focused on winning now?

- belcherbd

For sure, I'm just referring to their abilities now. Hutton has showed great promise and who knows what his ceiling is

I sure hope the hell they are focusing in on winning now. We will have had three top ten picks in the last four years .How many do you need?

Not all seven players drafted every year make the NHL. One or two per year make the team. We had six drafted picks under the age of 24 play last year and within the next two years we should have Demko Boeser and this years pick.

That will be 9 players less McCann. Talk about b1tching about nothing.

The second round this year is mostly undersized high risk players. Who cares .

Holy poop that USA roster is pretty hilarious.

It is a balance, they want to remain competitive/make the playoffs, but draft and develop. The drafting and developing is opposed to the tdl rentals for the playoffs, I hope.

We haven't seen enough of the drafting and developing part IMO.
