There's a difference between having a lack of talent and not having any talent at all.

Even in a crappy draft we will still get hosed. Book it!

Unfortunately this is a Ryan Nugget Hopkins type of draft but they'll get a few good kids.

There's guys to move, but they just need some convincing

Trade clauses make it hard but not much there to move outside of them old buggers.

I'm confident that there's a better play than RNH in this draft

Who would want the pieces we want gone?
- A_SteamingLombardi

Realistically there's Hutton and Tanev but not much else. Build through the draft, it's free.

Edler looks like a defeated man. Send him to Tampa.


btw I don't actually expect any big name vets moved this summer, I look forward to the freakouts if that's the case. It'll be weird being the one defending Benning.

Who's afraid? Seems like everyone here wants X and Y gone, but the debate is which guys. It's hard to find a fan who says "keep the core together!"


Some want Edler and Sutter gone

Some want Tanev and Edler gone

Etc, etc.

We need a top 6 forward and we need D ( better D) There no one magic trade that will put us over the top.

If you could trade Edler to TB for their first then why not?

Draft a Center with the top 5 . Draft a winger with the 15 th if you trade.

Maybe take the 32 and CBJ 2nd and move up to 27 th and draft Hague .

Lots of scenarios but sitting on our hands is not the answer

They could move everyone on the roster and it wouldn't bother me as long as they got a good return.

Sorry we have very little talent 17 games with over 40 shots , second last in the standings, 179 goals worst ever.

Colorado didn't get to 50 points.



They are the first team to not reach 50 since 1999 atlanta thrashers

90% of fans seem to be in favour of trading Edler so I don't understand why you'd suggest that the majority are okay with doing nothing. NTC is the issue.


Canucks need way more than 1 more top 6 forward, they need multiple, defense is a mess and they have no starting goalie signed for next year(Markstrom is more of a 1B at best). The roster is a mess.

It's going to take a few years for this team to be on the upswing again. This draft isn't exactly loaded with prospects who are NHL-ready.

Be prepared for another similar season next year.

I like the way the matchups for the playoffs turned out! Especially Leafs vs Caps
