Kid has a ton of talent. If canucks are ever going to gamble on a kid, i would prefer they do it now and not when they are established.

I don't think he's too different from Goldy. A lot of skill with questionable attitude and work ethic. More to the game then just waiting for the puck then trying to dangle around a bunch of players.

I like to watch skillful players but if that skill leads them to nowhere. What's the point.

"Flight of the Conchords" is brilliant, as well.

I think after this draft upcoming, we will be well stocked prospect wise and still continuing to add players of quality from lower in the draft as the team starts winning more games in the regular season. eg: Boeser, Gaudette, Demko, Lind, Gado... have not come from top 10 picks. This trend has no reason to end.

Hipefully we get some more good D prospects for the mix.

As for UFA’s its only top talent or elite D or C or 1yr plugs.
EK, JT, Carlson r fine IMO if possible.
Not too many ufa plugs if any.

Yeah, I still haven't figured out why players have to forfeit 10% of their contracts but yet the cap goes up every year. Shouldn't whatever extra is made be paid back to the players. We wonder why players salaries keep increasing well because you have a 5 million dollar player only getting 4.5 of his contract.

Did he shoot the puck with his hockey stick, why yes he did✔️
Did the puck go in the net...why yes it did✔️
Was the goal counted on the score sheet...why yes it was✔️

Gaunce now has a good goal that was shot at an NHL goal keeper, so good goal.✔️✔️✔️

Other then Lockwood or OJ. I doubt the rest of the draft picks from that year will make Utica.

Hopefully JB can sign a College and CHL free agent.

If they don't spend to the cap, they can't afford 11-12 mil for Karlsson.
- neem55


Using the overpaid money gone to Shattenkirk i’d say EK signs for 8-9m per
If hot to trot then maybe 10m less term.
Get him & D woes r much improved.
A JT could then be enticed. Guess it comes down to timing & if UFA’s.

Mckenzie (curtis), Stukel, brassard, dahlen, Pettersson, Gaudette, palmu, Juolevi are all eligible to play utica next year i believe.

Karlsson can make more than 10 on the open market. Shatten kirk is nothing in compirson to Karlsson

I know they all are but realistic, (I also said "from that draft year")
Brett Mckenzie hasn't improved much this season from last when they didn't even let him play a game in Utica.
Stukel seems to have improved his skating but i'm guessing ECHL.
Brassard (frank)en sucks man. His D play makes Ryan Merkley look like Tanev.

Dahlen and EP will probably come over.

Palmu will probably have another season over in Europe.

@Pres.Cup I did not say sign Hornqvist Stone and JVR. I said sign JVR orHornqvist orStone which one site had listed as a UFA. He is actually a RFA so never mind him

I don't know if you read back or not but I have said that if the Sedin's are resigned that I will quit HB. Write that in your book. Highlight it. Underline. Happy face stickers. Post it on your fridge.
