I'm not informed enough but if the media is right and salmon farms are leading to depletion of native stocks then it's a good thing.

Ok so, I believe I got it right

Here all the picks that JB gave away that teams picked in that spot. (hard to figure out some since they were traded after but I believe I followed the correct trails.)

Roland Mckeown
Keegan Iverson
David Siedorff
Rasmus Andersson
Casey Staum
Filip Gustavsson
Cameron Crotty
Stuart Skinner
Adam Mascherin
Jonathan Ang
Slava Denim
Hugo Anefelt
Timur Ibragrimov
Theodore Niederbach

So.... one maybe two players that could make it, not a big deal considering.

That and $10 will get you into the HHOF to look at the Stanley Cup that doesn’t have your name on it

As long as we can carve our team into another presidents trophy, I'll be satisfied.

Good effort but who was picked is completely meaningless because we don’t know who the Canucks would’ve picked. With the 2nd in 2015 what if they had Anthony Cirelli or Vince Dunn on their list?

Research shows they’re not the single factor but they’re definitely a contributing factor.

Thank heavens First Nations are fighting this because no one else has leverage against the feds and poop would never change.

It's only completely meaningless to you because you just got proof of how wrong you are.

I think the only player to play an NHL game from that list is Rasmus Andersson

............ok

Hi,

New blog is up, sorting out where the Canucks currently stand on the return to play situation, World Jrs, and Lukas Jasek at the Channel One Cup.

Taxi Squads Set Up For Upcoming 2020-21 Season
DECEMBER 20, 2020 AT 1:03 PM CDT | BY HOLGER STOLZENBERG LEAVE A COMMENT

While taxi squads have been rumored for more than a month, the NHL has officially put them into place for the 56-game season that starts on Jan. 13, including the guidelines set for them. Major League Baseball used a taxi squad during their 2000 season and the NHL has decided to use a similar system.

While the use of taxi squads is likely meant to keep players who just missed out on making the NHL roster as potential backups due to injury/COVID-19 related issues. However, teams could also look at it from a different perspective as well. With the danger that junior leagues seasons could be cancelled down the road, many teams may consider putting one or two of their top prospects on their taxi squad, which would allow the player exposure to their NHL teams and the ability to practice with them, which might be better than playing limited games in junior or trying to find them a permanent home overseas. There has been talk that there could be a rule that taxi squad players must play a certain amount of games to be eligible and cannot just sit there without playing in any games, but no word on whether a rule like that will be enacted. With the league prorating the entry-level slide, prospects would only be allowed to appear in six games before they would burn the first year of their entry-level contract, something teams wouldn’t want to do. So, a rule suggesting how much each taxi squad player must appear in could cause some issues.

According to CapFriendly, taxi squads will consist of four to six players and must include at least one goaltender, unless the NHL club is carrying three goaltenders on their roster. Waiver rules would still apply if the team wants to send them to the AHL and the salary cap implications would count as if the players were being buried in the minors (buried cap hit). Players will receive their full NHL salaries if they are on one-year deals, while two-year deal players will play for their AHL salary.

Taxi squad players are permitted to travel with the NHL squad, practice with them and join any team activities. They are not allowed to practice with any other group besides their NHL team, which includes not being allowed to practice or join in on any AHL functions. Players can be recalled to the NHL squad on any day, but must be done before 5 p.m. EST to play in that night’s game. Goaltenders can be recalled at any time if a team doesn’t have two active goaltenders to play.

If a taxi squad player is deemed unfit to play (injury, illness, COVID-19 quarantine), the NHL team can request the player not be counted as one of their six players.

Taxi squads will dissolve at the end of the NHL season.

Glad we didn’t get Barrie to satisfy Vintsy.
Holtby my guess plays 1/3 of the games.

I didn’t want him, I never put him in a lineup, I’m glad they didn’t sign him. My only point was that you retards would have been pumping his tires if he was a Canuck, just like you are doing with Myers, who was a third pairing guy on a good team before he was signed.

I have to confess I’m one of the worst in here for piling on the Albertans as I’ve seen a lot of entitlement but that being said, I don’t agree with the sentiment that the Covid spike is all there fault. The Alberta economy has already been decimated and these lockdowns, which have proven largely ineffective, are just making things worse. I think the Feds could have spent some of those billions in a much more efficient way rather than trying to play Robin Hood with the taxpayers money.

Thank you and well said. I have lived in Vancouver, Ft St John and the Island and am just in disbelief at how Albertans are 'blamed' for so much. All good when times were high and Alberta was carrying BC and many other Provinces across the country lol. But where is the help now that we need it? Exactly...

It's much more virulent then the flu. Beagle is an elite 50 foot player....

I just wish they'd release the actual data, the way it's hidden makes me skeptical of what they say it does. 5 cases a day on the island and yet their locked down. If the authorities weren't lazy they could actually target the outbreak locations and relax spots where there wasn't outbreaks. One size fits all doesn't work and disproportionately negativity effects the working poor.
Not to mention the long term negative mental health aspects, rising drug use, suicides, spousal abuse, etc... that have been shown to occur as a result. If I was a conspiracy theorist I'd suggest that they want us discombobulated, afraid and socially exasperated do that we'd accept anything to end it, like the vaccine.... but I'm not and think that's just a coincidence.

My thoughts are that it is a weak deflection (no pun intended) resulting from you not having a rebuttal

I have to think most people support Alberta and believe they should be supported now that their economy is struggling. Unfortunately, the actions of some Albertans when things were going well destroyed a lot of sympathy in BC. For all the benefits the oil economy had on BC, it also did a lot of bad given the inflated prices created by Albertans buying property, etc. in BC.

End of the day, I support Alberta...I just think everyone needs to learn how to be gracious winners and losers (ecomomies go up and down and will continue to do so).
