It will help the cup run, for sure.

You're talking about the presidents cup, right?

Because nothing else matters.
Taveres and Demko will lead us to the promised land once again.

I agree that it should be Horvat, sure hope it’s not Sutter.
- Makita

I think next year will be a transition year for the twins. I expect them to be at the rink 2 -3 times a week when the team is in town. They will probably be in Greens office twice a week and talking with Benning and Travis a few times .

They will be home for dinners but I still think they will be heavily involved and believe it or not I am okay with it.

I was wrong
2019, not 2018
Playoffs

Noah Dobson

Plays both ends Has a good frame and will continue to grown into it and get bigger, and surely he will become less shy playing like he a larger guy already. Already better then most “Q” defenders at using his mobility, reach, stick, and to have his stick on the right side of the puck carrier. Deceptively fast and always willing to lug the biscuit up ice. Because he is bigger and his stride is so fluid, he catches you off guard with how fast he can accelerate and then surprises again when he executes at top speed. Jumps up from the blue line deep in to the attack zone and has the speed to get himself back up ice. Has a slapper he keeps low and a strong accurate wrist shot. You would like a bit more physicality and see him push attackers off the puck, he already does show he can separate them decently although they won’t be looking to see if he is coming next shift. Already has shown enough to be considered a top half of the first round candidate.

No he’s talking about bringing in a bunch of super talented prospects from top tier European leagues, the new Hobie Baker winner, Demko beating out Markstrom as the year progresses. Then sneaking in through the wild card, a few lucky bounces and the Stanley Cup is Vancouver’s....easy peasy.

Evan Bouchard

Big impact defender who some have categorized as a power play specialist, although I think that is understating his overall game and upside. Has been at the top or close to the top in defenseman scoring this entire year in the OHL. He was named captain of his club, and plays really smart in both ends. Has good balance and good four-direction skating ability, despite not being categorized as a fast agile lateral mover with a big burst up ice. Thinks the game at an elite level, and in March was leading his team in scoring. Has little problem getting involved up ice on the rush and is very comfortable using his skill set and decision-making to create from the blue line. He has an excellent hard point shot, but always looks for the best pass too. Skates a bit upright, but it doesn’t hamper his vision or coolness in his own end and when things are starting to develop on the offensive. The sport has reached a skill level where there is a division that separates the position of defenseman into two distinct type styles, and at this point, Bouchard falls into the "has decent size and power, but lacks that lightning speed" side. Still developing, he projects as a right-side backline leader who continues to grow his game to where he achieves high pair NHL status.

Quinton Hughes

Undersized defender in the Kris Letang mold who plays strong at both ends. Michigan Wolverine who had a successful Freshman season as an undersized offensive defenseman. About five foot ten, he has one of the highest hockey IQ in this class. Moreover, he arguably is one of the fastest and most agile skater at his position with the jump to get to top gear rapidly. He has been heralded as for four years as a player destined to be selected in the top couple selections. He displays elite feet, balance and edge work. He wants the puck on his stick on zone entrances and even chooses to skate the puck solo when the puck transitions to him in his defensive zone. So fast the he is able to jump in on the attack on must offensive forays. The team that drafts him knows he will use his stick positioning, feet, and lateral quickness to defend, and will fall short against stronger bigger attackers who will win the majority of physical confrontations, so a team drafting him will have devise a plan to protect him in his end, maybe even pull back the reins.

I think next year will be a transition year for the twins. I expect them to be at the rink 2 -3 times a week when the team is in town. They will probably be in Greens office twice a week and talking with Benning and Travis a few times .

Yes I think you are spot on with your thoughts, Sedins will probably have some minor roles to play.

I think in a few years they will be offered VP or Pres by Mr Aquilini . He was sending out some pretty emotional tweets last week. I see them offered jobs like Stan Smyl

Thanks. I thought I had made it pretty clear.
The island guys should think about renting a house together in Vancouver for next season's playoffs and cup parade. I'm there twice this spring, I'll do some scouting. I'm thinking the North Shore.

Just waiting on Makita's approval of the final seating plan (after all he is hosting) and working out some insurances details in regards to Manvanfan's play area.

Well I had a tremendous little visit with my new grand daughter, the Sedins are officially done, a new era/day is upon us and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Our future is brighter than not, I’m already pumped for the draft and the youthful team next year!!

I think I was awesome last night because I don’t feel that great today.

Good plan on the insurance . Bloated and Don's Latte tossing contest could get ugly

Umm, things have changed a little since you were here last week. I plan on redoing the driveway and both side properties so we will need to find another venue.

I hear Lefty has a nice place we could use, and with a new grandchild he will have an appropriate aged play area ready soon..

Going to be a fun summer . Looking forward to the draft

7.5% chance @ 1st overall.

I agree that it should be Horvat, sure hope it’s not Sutter.
- Makita

Agree I like Sutter but he is not 'C' material. If he gets the C that's a pretty strong indication of where this team is heading. I think Horvat is a lock.

7.5% chance @ 1st overall.
- thundachunk

Even if it is Dobson Wahlstrom or Bouchard we pick up, it will be better than Hutton Poulliot or Granlund

7.5% chance @ 1st overall.

And like a 60% chance of moving down
