It's basically looked at as irrelevant in the analytics community because it doesn't account for various situations that skew the numbers. If they had a nerdy emoji, I'd put it at the end.

If he ever had any respect for VAN he'll waive at next years TDL (or sooner).
- VanHockeyGuy

He is entitled to play out the contract negotiated by him and the team. He owes Vancouver nothing beyond that.

Remember the days when Leaf fans would go on & on about Sundin owing them & the franchise to waive his NTC and we would mock and ridicule them? I do.

That's fine as well. Let him walk as a UFA. Done.

I think he will retire once his contract is done unless Trevor wants to extend him because they are friends and played together once.

Glass will be a Solid #2 could still be a #1. If we miss one of Dahli, Boqvist, Tkachuk I will take a kid with top 4 as a low and possible top 2 upside any day. This Bouchard kid is growing on me as well. Good offensive numbers on a poop Knights team.

I am ok missing him. Outside Tkachuk I currently only want Dmen.
- Retinalz


I never complain about getting defensemen. Always need them and players that can play centre.

What's the word on the other Tkachuk...is he a jackass like his bro on Calgary? If so...hard pass.

He is hardnosed too but less of JERK

My sentiments as well.
Accumulate more top 40 picks.
Give us a variety of options as the draft proceeds & scoop talent like last year.

I doubt very much that Alex would ever waive, but if he did, I would be ecstatic.
In regards to waiting for TDL, I am not sure it is a good idea to wait, as some teams like Islanders need to poop or get off the pot, so to speak.
They have some very nice picks we could use.
Again I will say, I am hoping for a fairly significant deal with one of Tampa St Louis or the Islanders.

- Reubenkincade



I agree & can see a few anxious teams wanting to deal sooner than later. Generally buyers might like to out wait the sellers but idk if that will work this TDL & hence i see it heating up as soon as next week but definitely shortly after then. RHD are in high demand as usual & will get nice returns.

Bouchard has more points then OJ ever did in 15 or less games played. Oj had 19 goals in 2 years. Bouchard has 15 this season. It is sort of like his draft plus 1 season since he is a Oct birthday. I could see him going in the 7-12 range easily.
- manvanfan



I like him if we can somehow get another 1st pick. How i’m not sure of but if we did it then a Tkachuk would look much nicer. The flexibility is my aim to go along with our 2nd pick where we again will have a nice prospect fall to us. Any other 2nds we could get would be a nice bonus.

(frank) all TORONTO teams. If not in the playoffs is almost as nice as a Canucks top5 pick
