They also could have called no penalty as many have suggested.

Which would've caused as big if not a bigger outcry after the Sharks best player left the ice with blood pouring out of his head

Andre Burakovsky - Canucks 30% (-10%)

Phil Kessel - Canucks 15% (-5%)

What’s that? An M3 on The Makita Rumour Chart?

I don't care who we pick since I trust JB to make sure that it's a good pick.

JB picking Macann, Boeser and Pettersson where he did makes me trust his choices. JV was forced on him imo by idiot ownership.

Need to get rid of JV already. And Tanev.

Phil Kessel?

Nothing says rebuilding for the future like acquiring a Phil Kessel.

Discussion topic, anything to take away from the extremely riveting draft analysis, well maybe for an hour or so.





Ok probably not

Agree Mcphee did an unreal job putting that club together love them or hate them. But yes cap issues are abound.

Most clubs have somewhere between 18 - 24 players with legitimate NHL level talent. Under the expansion draft, Vegas was given 30. And not just scrubs and has-beens like previous franchises. Based on what teams could protect, they were allowed to to pilfer a top 6 forward or a top 4 defenceman from pretty much every team in the league.

Under those circumstances, even Benning and his lousy pro scouting crew could assemble a better roster than what the Canucks have now.

Burakovsky would fit a need but I can't imagine we want to pay to acquire him

Philip Broberg has bookended his season with a tremendous Hlinka and now a very strong U18s.

That’s a good way to endear yourself to scouts/GMs who value age appropriate best-on-best competition.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go in the top-8 this June

I did say most clubs. He was a top 4 d-man for the Canucks at the time (that's how bad we were) and McPhee did select him. So....

32 is the new 80, or 80 is the new 32?

Just seen Boys of the Hood director John Singleton died from stroke age 51 . Can never figure out why some go and some stick around forever.No rhyme or reason.

Not really. A lot of GMs were stupid and gave up way more just to not have someone selected. Things like:

Anaheim Ducks: Defenseman Clayton Stoner. The Golden Knights also receive defenseman prospect Shea Theodore.

Florida Panthers: Forward Jonathan Marchessault. The Panthers also traded forward Reilly Smith to the Golden Knights for a 2018 fourth-round pick.

Columbus Blue Jackets: Forward William Karlsson. The Golden Knights also receive a 2017 first-round pick, 2019 second-round pick, and the contract of David Clarkson.

New York Islanders: Goaltender Jean-Francois Berube. The Golden Knights also acquired forward Mikhail Grabovski, defenseman Jake Bischoff, a 2017 first-round pick (No. 15 overall), and a 2019 second-round pick.

Pittsburgh Penguins: Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. The Golden Knights also receive a 2020 second-round pick.

Tampa Bay Lightning: Defenseman Jason Garrison. The Golden Knights also receive rights to forward Nikita Gusev, a 2017 second-round pick, and a 2018 fourth-round pick from Tampa Bay.

And they also chose a bunch of poopty players, like:

Vancouver Canucks: Defenseman Luca Sbisa.

Chicago Blackhawks: Defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk.

Colorado Avalanche: Goaltender Calvin Pickard.

Toronto Maple Leafs: Forward Brendan Leipsic.

Better players than other expansion drafts? Hell yes. But for the good of the game, you can't have a $500 million dollar team in a brand new market be the worst of the worst.

Goldobin Granlund and/or rights to Tryamkin, would be all right with me, although he is paid too much for what he brings. IMO
