Nico in this game is so far ahead of every other player

Unless they come across some outstanding talent in the draft I'd pretty much agree with you, five years is a reasonable number.

Why hasn't he scored or got a point then?

Glass looks good, reminds me of Bo

He is on a completely different level than Nolan Bustpatrick

Why hasn't he scored or got a point then?

He said before the game that he is exhausted. This is his 83rd game of the season

Can't play 83....won't be a playoff performer then

I watched Passengers and Hacksaw Ridge last night . HR was pretty good

And I'm fine with that. It's not a race to make the playoffs. I'd prefer that management is methodical, builds up the farm system and lets the prospects develop in a competitive environment in Utica before throwing them into the gong show that is the Canucks.

Sorry Nico I think Glass is todays MVP

BINGO

Sorry Nico I think Glass is todays MVP

I really like his game.

This draft is going to be really all over the place. The only thing I am going to predict is that at least 4 dmen will go in the top 12 and 2 in the top 6.

Wouldnt be at all surprised to see a Dman go 1 or 2.

Hell of a game by glass. Give nico some decent line mates though and this game is different

Yep, me too! This is not an instant gratification business, those that attempt that usually fail, as you can see by Benning's attempts to "be competitive".

Building a winner is something the Vancouver market has never had the stomach for, thus they've never won a Cup. They closest they came was drafting the twins, Kesler, Edler, Bieksa, Hansen and the boys.

I would be surprised if a d men went in the top 5..

They beat three big teams to do it too…impressive.

If we draft Eggenberger Hefty will be running to the fridge for snacks every fourth shift

Quite the prediction.

I think with this being a weak draft several teams will pick by position. Theres just to many rumors of coyotes and avs wanting a dman(Liljegrin) with there pick. Read a scout say he has Makar at 2.

Detroit, NJ, Dallas, Peg and Buffalo all starving for Dmen.

Quite the prediction.
- Whiskey-Tango

No team will touch Lilegren with a high pick. Makar may slip into the top 5.

Wouldnt mind ENtwhistle in the 3rd
