I mean, I live in Canada and I know a lot about the NFL/NBA despite Vancouver not having a team in either league so I don't think it's fair to paint everyone with the same brush.

Not to mention that a lot of Canadians move to Florida when they retire.


I was reading about Juolevi at HF.com and someone posted these quotes from a lot of TB fans regarding Sergachev:

































Probably a lot of frustration boiling over due to being swept in round 1, but still pretty eye-opening quotes.

Ya I guess you're right some Canadians do retire there. More Phoenix though.

TB just got crushed in the playoffs, the team has a lot of players not performing. Not sure why
theyre all harping on just him.

Well this could be good. Maybe they place him for sale and green could work his magic on him.

I got two words for you: Malkin

EK said he's available. Rebuild complete.
- bloatedmosquito

The price would be incredible, possibly lindros-esq

Jb should taking classes in hypnotism

If we’re going BPA I really don’t see any scenario where Benning/Brackett have a D ranked ahead of (several) F who should be on the board.

Who knows, maybe Byram has a Laremy Tunsil-esque scandal on draftmas eve.

I would like jb to make a deal for the 4 or 5oa contingent on byram being still available at that spot.

Byram is 2nd tier this draft for me.
The price to get him would be high.
I like him but settle for an American at 10th if not Caulfield. Krebs would suit me as well.

I think very few ever get the guess correct but people have fun talking about it so no harm.

I will wait and see. I will be okay with a bunch of options .

Ya this is where I’m at too. Also, their draftboard has been pretty tough to know until it starts to leak close to draft day. They clearly have a different rank than most, but I’m a huge fan of the scouting process/evaluation JB and co. have in place

Red Wings hire Yzerman as GM. I guess in the next few days we will hear Holland as Canucks new Pres.

It says Holland staying with the team but lets see.

U18 hockey starting now for those who are awake


Caulfield opens up the scoring. I sure hope Canucks don't pick him

I’d consider him at 10 depending on who’s available.

No sh!t.

Caufield again . I don't think he will fall out of top 5

No sh!t.

I guess I misunderstood what you meant when you said "I'd consider him at 10 depending on who's available"

You didn’t misunderstand... I’m just saying there’s no way in hell I’d trade up for him in this draft. & if by some miracle he fell, he wouldn’t be a no brainer for me at 10 - I don’t rank him above some of the guys currently mentioned in our range (would depend on who’s still there).

Kid is just pure offense. Hadnt watched him before this tournament but man, him and boldy are insane together.

I'll agree to disagree. I would trade up for him if it didnt mean losing an arm and a leg to get him. Kid is just insane. Having a Hughes type and a byram type dman on the Canucks would be amazing.

Yeah . I know it is a bigger ice surface but you are right , he is pure offense.

Chi LA or Col would be a great fit.

The Canucks should trade Boeser and 2020's 1st for him.

Chicago with a 80 goal midget line of caufield and debricant?

Toews in the middle

Caufield hype is exploding because it’s the first time most people are actually watching him score goals. He’s been doing this in every game all year. Nothing’s changed. He’s still a one dimensional goal suck benefitting massively from playing with some of the best passers I’ve ever seen at this level. Dude can shoot, and knows where to shoot, but the shooting % won’t translate (he also won’t be able to float near the opposing blue line waiting to be sprung). The rest of his collaborative game will still be lacking. Another prospect I am fine to agree to disagree with everyone.

Yes scoring 110 goals in 115 games is hype.

No. Suddenly being mentioned as a top 5 pick is hype.

I think LA pick Byram at 5 as they had zero defence prospects and Colorado do just before them

At worst, he shouldn’t make it past Det. They need him.
