Will they care 8d though? I think Biega is starting to get noticed. He would be a waiver wire loss. He or Pouliot.

14/7 is better IMO

Hopefully Tanev is gone at the draft.

All white must be hard as hell to spot easy for passing etc. Dumb choice no brains.

Need to keep everybody until the draft of 2019 so while in Van, they can pick 30 some odd picks.

With the imminent Seattle expansion teams will be looking to set up their rosters. Some teams want to avoid what happened last time while others will jockey players also

5-2 how sweet it is

Might hurt trade value for someone like tanev

If JV can be a bit smaller but faster version of Wilson and put up a few more goals, that would be nice. He’s a beast.

Idk about that. Too early to say besides i wonder how JB will juggle our protection list as in we have more to protect probably than we had to in the VGK draft.

Alexis Lafreniere - first Q 16-year-old to score 40 since Sidney Crosby.

Can Van just be good for next year and then go back to tanking for this kid in 2020?

Asking for much? 😂😂
Lottery is no guarantee anyone gets 1st pick let alone dragging out this tank.

One of Dobson or Bouchard are realistic picks for Nucks.

From 31 thoughts a while back...

A number of NHL teams were in Sweden over the last couple of weeks to scout potential free agents. There are four I know of: defencemen Lawrence Pilut (age 22) and Joel Persson (23); winger Michael Lindqvist (23) and centre Par Lindholm (26). Pilut’s father, Larry, was born in Detroit and played in the NCAA before going to Sweden, where he settled. Among the teams who were watching: Boston, Calgary, Chicago, Nashville, Vancouver and the Rangers. Likely more.

No point in Canucks going there.. they wasted all of their contract spots on Motte and Jokinen

Any of the top 9 but Hughes for me.

I’m leery of Svechnikov...3rd or 4th for me
Hughes D is highly suspect...pass
Drop Veleno a bit farther down...15-17th

I like Bouchard if we lose out on Dahlin but Boqvist would be ok. Getting another 1st somehow to give us options is still my want

No Dahlin and Svechnikov are.

Leafs little bubble is bursting...

Maybe package Tanev with a castoff & go full retard & suck horribly for a few extra years. Risky but maybe necessary. Can bet on Edler resigned if it were to happen.
Depends on the return & it makes many ppl happy not that us fans know much lol.
NYI comes to mind if JT is to resign.

OV with his 40th of the season, damn that guy just continues to score, Washington is sneeky good??

Vanhockeyguy gets a ban for his post about the three tissue guys Leaf unis. Some ref is bloody sensitive .
