Lovers quarrel about the validity of a hockey bloggers on a hockey blogging website.
Some think certain players will be bought out by Vancouver this year.
Some think we should trade players, others disagree.
Tryamkin playing better, so there's that...
So, nope.

Found time to watch only the 2nd game ot Finals today, Hedman is such a great defenseman.

Arguably the best in the league. I didn’t watch it but happy with the outcome as I want Tampa to win

Guess what BB is not being moved and his value is increasing more with his well rounded game improvement and other new tools instead of being a one trick pony.

Laine should take note and try to model his game after Brock. Otherwise he will be a Kessel light at best.

No argument here, Hedman is the best.
A true number 1 all--situations defender, love to get one on the Canucks.

We should just draft Dmen for the next 5-10 years, especially in the 1st round.

let's start with drafting one dman which would be an improvement on zero.

At least 1 defenseman, should be taken in the top 4 rounds, every year.
I also believe a centre should be selected every year and a goalie at least every 3 years.

Agreed, additionally both positions have way more trade value so having too many centres or top four D is never a bad thing. For every top six centre or top four D a team can acquire two top six wingers (simplified but essentially true e.g. established winger plus high draft pick etc).

That would be a good start, as waiver scraps and trades have been a disaster.

Canucks have drafted a Dman before the fourth round and a goalie at least every three years every year except last since Benning has been here

Yeah, they are a rare breed though. Kinda neat that Ohlund mentored Hedman for a bit. It might be my imagination, but I think you can see some of it in the way he defends.

Yeah Hedmans are a rare breed . You see a complete guy like him come along every 5 years or so .

Sens active games played leaders:

1. Thomas Chabot 205
2. Colin White 155
3. Chris Tierney 152 (RFA)
4. Brady Tkachuk 142
5. Nick Paul 112 (RFA)

————————————————————

I think they need some veteran leadership

This is why I like Benning, he endorses my strategy.😁

We can't complain about the drafting. I sure hope Juolevi is ready this year. He looked good in his one game .

Drafting another Ohlund type would be great, he was a very good defenseman.

He was my favourite player while he was here. Loved watching him play the position.

We complain about everything Canucks. Lol
Olli wasn't the defenseman I wanted( Fabbro/ Chychrun), but I was fine with the pick.
Hopefully he can become the all-situatiins defender this team needs.
I am expecting some guys like Brisebois or Rafferty to be moved in some type of package deal.

Same. That eye injury set him back, unfortunately
