Could really use him on the coaching staff as the “pest coach”

Damn, I was thinking of Ruutu

Thanks Carol

In regards to regretting Ronning? Probably not. He was a 7th round pick that was past over 100's of times. I'd prefer Ronning to Abols (clearly) but who cares. He is an extreme longshot. I was actully worried they would take him and pleased when they passed. This team and fanbase is too loyal to past players and always wants local talent.

For a change, let's select the best players and staff to run this organization instead of people with ties to a team that has failed for the majority of its existence.

What an awful article Guarantee all the flack the team gets for not drafting local talent factored into the Virtanen mistake. Forget a players birthplace or passport. BPA.

There has been notable players that have been born in bc, or played for a western bc team, that have turned out to be a good NHL player but to focus on a region of canada in scouting is dumb. Canucks drafted victoria bc natives dan gendur and taylor ellington. Both busts. This article is just crap tbh. There are gems all over the world, and saying we missed out on local talent cause the teams play in close proximity of the canucks home rink is just dumb.

Who gives a poop where the player is from. Scout properly and draft accordingly.

Virtanen > Boeser


Trade Boeser, Gaudette and Demko for Ryan Johansen

My buddy partied with him in Thailand, said he's absolutely one of the funnest guys he's ever met

That 6 degrees of separation would bring all the fans to the games right.

Russian factor is real, and they kind of scare me as far as wanting to draft them, but man is kucherov and namestikov and ovechkin and orlov fun to watch, and would be nice to have for the canucks.

I think you mean Kuznetsov, not Orlov

Tarasenko and Kucherov

Panarin ain’t bad either, Torts has him back checking and he’s still carrying CBJ’s pathetic offense.

Sure.
Fun to watch on other teams, but if they were somehow drafted by Vancouver in an alt universe, they'd be busts.

And Tarasenko, Kuzenetzov, Galchenyuk, Buchnevic. Next year Kovalchuk is back. Datsyuk might be one of the most underrated two-way centers in NHL history. But hey, no ruskies...

I wouldn’t be opposed to buying low on Galchenyuk. He’s better than what his numbers show.
