Phone is goin dead & a bottle of red is calling & a smoke bbiab lol

My focus was on Mittelstadt then Makar but then Glass really caught my eye.
That said i lost touch with other prospects & playin catch up now.
Really want us to make waves & get another mid 1st & maybe a prospect.
Still bullish on us getting a real good player in the 2nd.
Sets up well again for the 2018 draft. We gotta have faith in JB is all i can say.

Why has Makar played just AJHL ? Isn't that a worry ?

He is going the college route. He is an older player in this draft like Patrick. I don't think he should be taken at 5. If could trade Buffalo for 8, I would if Liljegren is gone.

LA signed Tanner Pearson 4 years 15 million. 3.75 AAV. Coming out a bridge deal in which he had 36 and 44 point seasons. I think that's a bit of a deal unless they think he has peaked.

Waive him.

I think he will be the 3rd D taken.

Waive him.

Might be a bit over the top, I would just remind him that no one gets over 4.5 per year unless you are a Swede.

103 points in 226 games for Pearson.
117 in 231 for Horvat.
I don't think Bo should get 5.5. If he wants a 6 year contract probably more in the 4.5-5

I would give him 4 mil bridge 3 or four years.

but then if he exceeds and puts up 70-80 point seasons, then at the end of the bridge, he'll want a to get real paid and we could potentially lose him or the deal will hand cuff us into his 30s (like the twins)
5-6 year deals lock him up throughout his prime and allow to sign other med-high salaries of players around him.

So if he is worth it pay him.

He doesn't even have 50 goals yet after 3 years . Just because he is the best player on a bad team doesn't make him a great player.

So give him a 3-4 year bridge deal, then we give him the massive deal that takes him into his mid 30's??? the exact same type of deals that you b*tch about on a regular basis of the likes of Sedins & Eriksson....

In the next four years you will probably draft two players better than him . Look at Draistl McDavid , Matthews Marner.

Kadri is paid properly as a third line center RNH is not.

Bo is very good but we will be finding two players better over the next four years.

AVs are trying to move Duchene for the exact reason you are trying to put Bo in right now. Give him a bridge deal.

I keep seeing Bo referred to as a 3C when the team is built, the way he is trending he will likely become a very very good 2C. I definitely think he's closer to Draisaitl than to RNH. Especially given his importance on both special teams I fail to see how you could expect to have him be 3C

6 mil for a third line center that has 18 goals and 23 assists 41 points.

I know he was second line center last year but this year Jost will pass him.

When Bo hits top line center we will call him such.

If we won the draft this year we would be drafting someone better than him.

He is a very good player but 50 goals after 3 years . It is not an insult. I would be a good thing finding two centers better than him

Sure, but if we had 2 Cs better than him by the time they are all in their prime they'd be eating so much cap space that we wouldn't be able to afford to build the rest of a competing team. Personally I think we need 1 C that is better than Bo, but then we have much more important things to address than finding another after that. Like finding our #1/#2 Dmen and a couple more high scoring wingers

you don't know that...we could end up with two more Virtanens. Why are you planning for what you MIGHT get???...We have it in Bo, so we should plan for what we HAVE.

Bo could easily become our 1C - his numbers are projecting in that direction by 2018-19, plus he's better than Kadri already so that's not even comparable. I'd rather spread out the money over 5-6 years, 4.75-5 is fair. It'll be interesting to see what Wennberg gets, cus he and Bo have similar #s

plus I'm not saying give him 6mil!!! the Avs are trying to move Duchene because they're Fawking terrible and everyone wants a change of scenery.

How much cap space is Marner Matthews McDavid and Draisitl eating up next year?

I don't get it either. His point total from this season put him 40th for centers in scoring. There are a few players ahead of him that didn't play center this season. That would put him as a good 2nd line center. As mentioned he's playing on a poopty team. What could he have done if he had a decent winger to play with!

RNH is overpaid.

Kadri is finally not playing with a bunch of poopty players and put up his best season ever. Now looks like he is under paid a bit. What a difference when your team doesn't suck.

i thought eveyerone talked about Bo's salary comparing to Trocheck's salary. 4.5-4.75 tops? Why all of a sudden is he getting 5.5? Yikes!

Sorry boys, I'm listening to 1040 right now. Pratt says he'd trade Tanev and 5OA to move up to 1OA or 2OA

Who we get at 5th can be just as good as Patrick or Hischier. Just a few years behind in development. Pratt..

News bulletin Canucks are terrible too.

Being this terrible we will get high draft picks .
