Exactly!

I said it years ago the only reason why JV and McCann made the team that year was for this very reason. Who knows how it (frank)ed up their development.

#Canucks prospects:

Leads SHL in P/GP (Pettersson)
Tied for lead in NCAA scoring (Gaudette)
Lead SM Liiga Rookie scoring (Palmu)
Tied for lead in SM Liiga Rookie D scoring (Juolevi)
3rd in Primary points/60 in WHL (Lind)
2nd in OHL in shots per game (Gadjovich)

Brock Boeser may lead the #Canucks offence now, but since Nov. 21 (22 games):

Henrik Sedin - 21 points
Daniel Sedin - 19 points

Madigan on will Gaudette sign with the #Canucks : "That decision hasn't been made yet but it's a business, the Canucks need to sign him this year so he doesn't get to free agency situation status, I get that but 4 years get you a degree."

Patience.

Trying to keep the Canucks competitive has been a waste of valuable assets, writes @JasonBroughTSN:

.@rayferrarotsn: I can't believe you'd get a 2nd for Vanek. Detroit got a 3rd last year, relatively the same production. I think you're going to get a third.

Dermott sitting sitting for the Leafs ? maybe a trade in the works

looking at #Canucks Eriksson. He has played 95 games for Nux and has had four double-digit goal droughts (current one at 16) & a pair of 8 gamers. He’s streaky alright. Just the wrong kind of streaky.

Franson.

Apparently the (frank)ing NHL rules made Franson a bad pick up as something to do with needing to waive him to bring him to the minors....and lose him again.... which is stupid cause the Canucks would not have needed to waive him. Franson would have stepped right in and never seen Utica.

But apparently id they trade for him, they have freedom moving him up and down.

Nah, every year is different. But it is unusual to get MORE market value after a further year of age. That being said, a third or late second.

Too many variable.... we got lots of wildcard teams who will panic.

Who cares? Franson is f*cking garbage.

He's such a bad hockey player - watch him closely, he generates NOTHING. You never see him in the dangerous areas, he can barely get thru the neutral zone without someone catching him, when he does, all he can manage is a dump in. He's not a great passer, rarely comes out of corner battles with the puck, easily knocked off the puck, realistically the only time you notice him is killing penalties and with his slowness he's not even great at that. If Seabrook can be scratched, i don't see why Loui cant be. He's Just a god awful player. I'm half temped to go back and watch Boston games from 2015 to see how he managed 30 goals, bcus its incomprehensible at this point.

I honestly don’t get you guys. Did you really think this was a good team, capable of challenging for a playoff spot at the start of the season? Can’t watch Edler, he’s so bad? Unfortunately, right now he is the best dman on the team. The rebuild won’t/can’t start until the twins retire, hopefully next season.

The Leaf love, also bizarre. They have been rebuilding for a decade, of course they are starting to improve.

A third is better than not a third.

TDL is obviously different every year and depends on what the acquiring team is looking for and willing to give up. Last year, Florida wanted him in their wild card hunt and Vanek got them a 3rd and a prospect (a terrible one, but one nonetheless) So to think he could fetch a 2nd this year, isn't unrealistic. Maybe a team like NYI think he'd help boast scoring and they have an extra 2nd to part with.

This will make the JB fans happy, keep in mind it's from ESPN, not exactly a hockey think tank. Myself = Indifferent, JB 7 days today MIA
