Inevitable.


just for conversations sake...


100%. I think there’s a Burke/twins story about Stefan going first. I believe Burkie knew he was going first, would be a bust, and worked that to his advantage getting picks 2 and 3.

I don't think so.
Just heard a podcast with Burkie talking about how he was pretty high on Stefan and actually tried to get the top 3 picks in the draft.
Stefan apparently had some concussion issues that derailed his career.

Loui, Mike D, rights to Trashcan, and a 3rd to Detroit for a second.

Detroit gets a mentor for their young swedes, future HOF goalie (it could happen, you don't know) and a big dman that might play better if he doesn't smell weed.
We get some cap.

Win/win. Get on it Big Jim

meanwhile in NZ, we gotta deal with these kind of headlines:

#11 - #20

Mark Messier
Doug Harvey
Steve Yzerman
Maurice Richard
Jaques Plante
Denis Potvin
Phil Esposito
Alex Ovechkin
Nick Lidstrom

I read this morning there’s 47 total cases in Australia with a population of 25 million due to imposing proper restrictions which the public generally followed.

Hard to rank em for sure.
Everyone's list would be different.

What, no Bobby Hull or Bobby Clarke or Patrick Roy or Dominik Hasek or Ken Dryden or Guy Lafleur?!?

How did this guy ever score 30? I can see how Benning thought this might work. But 6M for three years most people could stomach. But six years?? There's still two years remaining. Yikes. The Eriksson, Sutter, Beagle, Roussel deals are killing this team. Understandably Aquilini is sick of it and it's changing the way Benning can operate. Free agency has hurt many teams but none more than Vancouver.

Cant believe they don’t have laws about buying booze when you’re already drunk.

I had Lafleur top 10, Bobby Hull, Bobby Clarke, Roy and Hasek would be #21 - #30. Not Dryden though.

NZ has very relaxed liquor laws, especially compared to BC.
pubs and bars stay open late.
kids allowed in pubs (more family friendly environments).
booze is cheap, readily available and socially acceptable.

They kinda treat booze like you guys treat cannabis.

Definitely has some negative consequences

I agree with VHG.
Only 2 more seasons, thankfully, this is a shortened season, if it ever gets off the ground.

No season would be a humongous boon for TB.

Once you get past #30 you’re kinda splitting hairs. It’s like the next four defensemen after Bobby Orr, it’s really a toss-up who and how you rank them. My top five all-time are..

Orr
Harvey
Potvin
Lidstrom
Bourque
