Edmonton centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will miss the next five to six weeks with fractured ribs.

Damn I was hoping for a Cam Talbot shutout for the pool and an Oilers win for better draft odds

I disagree with this

Potential future roster given JB’s moves...
The lines r subject to scrutiny 😜👍

Sven Bo BB 2/3 JB todays top line
Dahlen EP LE 3/3 JB how Swede it IS
JV Gaudette Goldy 3/3 JB Speed to kill
Granny Sutter Gadjovich 3/3 JB Booya
Gagner/Gaunce

OJ Tanev
who knows yet 😜
Input at will lol

Demko
Marky

Add your draft picks to all of the above & really start to believe 👍👍

Well thats what we may look like in the next 2-3yrs under JB. That assumes no further UFA’s signed nor trades of significance an optimist would see in a positive light. Is that so horrible at this point in time with 2-3 more drafts to add?


Now speak up & be constructive instead of whining or citing ancient history if that potential is not interesting. Notice there is 5 draft picks & 4 players from trades & ONLY 2 UFA’s in that line-up which leaves just 1 other from the MG era BO albeit a key piece in the 4 lines. Says TURNOVER if nothing else from a stale and aged roster. That ignores what prospects to be drafted or potential TDL moves are yet to be made.

Is that a decent 2019-20 roster?
Will that be entertaining?
Does patience show those it is brighter future ahead if given the chance?
Do notice the turnover in a short time that JB has currently done whether good or bad.
Betting on revisionary pessimists to repond.
If wrong then constructive input is welcome

Sven top line

May as well considering what is out there. Benning deserves a shot to finish his vision IMO.

I don't think the progress over the four years has been great. I would like to see someone else. In fact every year has been worse than the previous. I believe we are on pace again this year to finish with less points. No to Holland

Like we thought at the beginning of the season.

OJ is still 19 not 20 , and how much more credit for drafting would GMJB get if Tryamkin was here and dominating ?

great job of using the Eklund model to drive up hits Carol

"Dominating"?

I'm not sure what to think about Jasek.

It would certainly help his cause if Tryamkin was still in the NHL

Tell Goldy to say hello when he bolts as well.

We thought that last year too with the 4-0 start.

There have been signs of improvement. Bo Brock look like core players and I will add in the Sutter signing but other than them is there anyone that you are certain of will be on this team after 2 years?

It would be a lot different but the other half of drafting is development.

Hopefully we'll have figured out how to dump Loui by then. Sutter i'm okay with. Edler will be gone unless we sign him to another stupid handcuff deal. I'm okay moving on from Sven if he has value.

Sven is a decent third liner. I know someone will throw numbers about point production . He is like Mason Raymond a tweener between 2 and 3 . He is a stop gap IMO

Bad injuries, bad reffing and bad luck.

Other than that, there's nothing wrong with this team.

you need a job, you just like to argue like someone else we know for the sake of arguing. I said...

"Benning is the one guy who can't really be put into that conversation yet because he hasn't been here long enough"

Benning to I-Mac on Sportsnet : “We’re on the right path with the drafting and the development of our young players. We’re going in the right direction. We’re partway through where we want to be.

Sutter is mostly useless. He's a bottom 6 guy born with a good last name.

Too bad he doesn't play like his father and uncles.

Demko not a top 3 prospect for the Canucks.
