Myers, Ferland and Johansen.... That's my prediction on UFA signings and unfortunetly they all come with terrible injury histories. I really hope I'm wrong but each one sort of fits the bill of what we need (minus the concussions and being made of glass).

Maybe not all three, but each of them seem like likely targets and I don't like it.

You are forgetting Gradin who has found some decent players over the year also

Yes, exactly. It is his guidance. We all have bosses that oversee our work and we report to. That's why we don't say directors of scouts built any other NHL team core because the GM responsible for setting up both the drafting and developmental process which they can succeed in. IE Yzerman built a great core in Tampa, not the director of scouting.

My guess is

Zaistev for Tanev ( first week of July)
Zucker for Leivo Lind 2020 second
Nyquist UFA
Miller and Vegas first for 10 OA

D will be

Edler Stecher
Hughes Miller
Sautner / OJ Zaitsev

Schenn

I think Canucks scouting is getting better. They have 22 scouts and some familiar names in there. I think year to year they improve and I believe Benning is getting better too.

gross


I don't agree, but if he does trade 10oa for anything other than a pick upgrade or some stud like Trouba I may finally be in the JB hater camp. If Zaitzev for Tanev happens, I'm pretty much done also.

it didn't draw an end.

I know these are just your predictions and not what you want


1. Terrible, fireable offence
2. Done
3. Meh, not a big fan
4. Pass, but I do want Miller


My prediction is a trade for a dman or winger and which we spot they fail to trade for will be filled in UFA by either Ferland or Myers.

Don’t think JB will be able to pull off 2 significant trades to fill those spots.

I am my own boss and if I could find my own Judd I'd be in Australia.

Daliwahl said this morning around 8AM some very suggestive comments about a deal will be done after the signing bonus on July 1 . He said they want a top 4 back in return.

I see the anger on Twitter and in here but I have a feeling it is going to happen. I think something is already in place.

He is usually on the radio saying he is talking to agents or others involved.

Ask him what is he hearing about his comment this morning that it wont go away ?

Gudbranson 2.0

except Zaitsev will have fewer loyal fans/defenders than EG since he’s Russian


As much as JB gets called a scouting guru, he seems to suck ass at evaluating NHL dmen

I heard him this morning too, it sounded more like gossiping than anything. Also heard the official spokesperson for the club, I Mac, and he said he felt they were going to draft a forward with the 10th, trade for the coveted top 6 forward and tread softly into free agency looking for a d man. He felt the likes of Meyers & Gardiner would be priced out of what Vancouver is willing to spend.

I've noticed that as well.

This is what I wonder ?

The minute Gudbrandson leaves his game gets better. Who was Gudbrandsons partner mostly? Hutton and Puliot? When he played with Edler he did okay.

Who is Zaitsev partner? I have watched enough Leaf games and he never really stood out to me as terrible. Mind you I never focused on him but it is not like the guy was horrible IMO.

I think Canucks would rather go the controlled signed 4.5 mil contract for 5 years rather than a Gardiner 6-7 for 6 years.

I really do trust Canucks opinion more than the anger that comes from here.


If you assign him with a Hutton or Pouliot then I am sure you will gt the same results as Gudbrandson but thankfully they are not signed players on the Canucks.

They said we have an update from Daliwahl involving the Canucks ( exact words)

Why would you announce an update from someone so he can repeat an opinion that we have all heard multiple times?

I don't really care because I am just stating my opinion that I think they are very interested.

IMac also said he doesn't really know who they are drafting so he is not throwing out names .
