It was essentially a 3-2 game.

Boeser, Baertschi, Eriksson, Granlund, Gaunce, Tanev
Dowd, Daniel, Henrik, Boucher, Jokinen, Biega

One line is quite a bit better then the other line.

I don't really count empty net goals

I say at the draft Van trades Hutton, Pouliot, MDZ, Granlund, Gagner.

Sign Ian Cole, Brandon Manning, Paul Stastney in the offseason.

Depending on where Van is drafting. If they do end up 6oa or later. Trade Tanev also.

Jack Eichel still leads the Sabres in goals, assists and points. He hasn't played in a month.

The NHL does.

Not sure if anyone has already posted this article. Interesting link to LE being moved to Montreal.

Rumoured. LE (25% retained salary) + Granlund to Montreal for 2018 3rd + Michael McCarron. Former 1st rounder 23 yrs old C/RW 6'6" 230 lbs.

NHL or bust? I say a year in the AHL would be best.

It will go the same as boeser, does he show enough during pre-season or not.

Plus he did have the highest percentage in the entire league of contributions to his teams goal totals.

something like 39% which is insane.

But that was a month ago

Gaudette will be either a Canuck next year or stay in school. Forget the Comets. He has put in three years already.

From Canucks POV he will be what sells tickets on this sad sack team

Nope, can't tell if you are joking or not.

Sign him. To promise him the virtanan treatment as you suggest would be a mistake I believe.

Why would he get the Virtanen treatment do you expect him to be chasing skirts in every town too?

Jake does not have a head for hockey . He came into town out of shape , partied like hell and was lazy. He got what he deserved

Gifting him a spot would be a mistake, earn your spot. I don't remember when the team had so many question marks, it's just a motley crew of unproven youth at the moment.

That's because they have had one of the worst prospect pools for the past decade. Now they have one of the best. Teams with good prospect pools tend to turn it around.

I understand he is mad the team isn't good this season. Shouldn't be too rash.

I'm talking about the past thirty years. They've got Boeser and Horvat under the age of 25 in the NHL and nothing else really. It's just been awhile since they've been so bad.

Comparing him to Virtanen is stupid .Jake came into the NHL as an 18 year old who finished junior hockey .Jake went right from jr. hockey to the Roxy.

Adam has spent three years in NCAA is 21 years old , a Hobey Baker finalist and NCAA leading scorer. If you are going to compare him to someone try Boeser Jimmmy Vessy or Kerrfoot , not 18 year old party animals

I don't think Benning's any better to be honest, but we'll see what happens over the next few years. Benning's had the luxury of some top end draft positions neither Gillis or Nonis had.

Like most things wrong again. I am very happy we are losing . I want to finish dead last this year.

The things that anger me is next year talking about bringing back the twins at 8-10 mil , when the have over 20 mil in cap space . Fix the back end bring in a stop gap forward .bring in a Dman . This should be a very busy summer for Canucks , not wait on the phone and see if anyone calls or we will see what the Sedins are doing .

We know you don't




Nonis drafting wasn't bad. He only had 4 years. It was the Gillis drafting that was pathetic. Then Gillis trading was also pathetic.

Gillis's drafting was piss poor no question but he actually made some great trades. Nonis was probably the worst drafting GM the franchise has ever known.
