Congrats on cherry picking two drafts. Don't take yourself so seriously and just enjoy watching prospects and you might not be so sour about things.

I have no idea why you feel the need to compare yourself to an NHL GM.

It's just a hobby for me, I enjoy hockey. I make my lists just to look back on over the years to see how I did, they really mean nothing.

I don’t take myself too seriously, I take my sports seriously. I’m not watching for the participation medal.

Maybe you’re happy just watching, I and many others want a winner. Perhaps you’d be better served in a cheerleading role. I’m sure you can find your own outfit.

Hard to ignore a big, fast, physical, shooter who can score goals. There has always been a bit of an question with players that score quite a bit more goals than have assists. JV was one of the youngest players in the draft as well.

If FA didn't (frank) that up, Canucks could of had Larkin. I wonder if JB would have picked Goldy instead of McCann then.

My preference at the time.

Did you puff your chest out when you typed that?

I want the Canucks to win, I'm just not an idiot to pretend that I'm more than just a fan of my team. I may or may not like everything they do but clearly i'm not going to pout over it.

I liked Zach Werenski more than Noah Hanifin.

Canucks drafted Brock Boeser

Why would I puff my chest out? I don’t pretend I’m the only guy with a valid opinion on here.

I’m not happy with the direction of the team, clearly you are even though you like to ride the fence.

That’s fine. I’m not sure why my questioning last moves, draft picks, signings etc. upsets you so much if you don’t care.

I don't know why you did.

You can be unhappy with the team, I never said you couldn't. You talking about how guys are better than an NHL GM because of two draft picks in 7 years.

I'm not upset in the least. I didn't tell you to become a cheerleader.

There has been a lot of things that I wouldn't have done that JB has done but I don't come on here and pretend as if I'm smarter than an NHL GM.

I just cheer for them to win every game.

Dude, you pretend you’re smarter than anyone else on here. NHL GM isn’t exactly the benchmark for intelligence. I didn’t puff my chest, you just admitted you’re a cheerleader.

That's a pick I liked similar to Podz. Boldy and Newhook were preferred by others.

I don't pretend as if I'm smarter than anyone on here. Everything is just a general discussion. Opinions are voiced and talked about that's it. No ones is better than anyone else.

I can see this has really bent you out of shape now that you're calling me "dude" and a "cheerleader".

6 Matthew Boldy RW Southfield School
7 Vasily Podkolzin RW Vityaz Podolsk HC
8 Connor McMichael C London
9 Alexander Newhook C St. Andrew Saints
10 Trevor Zegras C US-Under-17

My rankings that year. All 5 forwards for me were very near each other in the tier. I would have been happy with any of them.

Yeah GM's have more info then us. Yet it's amazing how some think they know better. Must be all that stuff and hindsight validating their abilities.

I can dislike a move voice it and move on. As a fan live the present and observe if things work out.

Zegras may be the best of the bunch.

I didn't really like Green being extended. Whatever, I hope he has learned and improves. Might be the right or wrong move. We shall see.

I sure hope he does improve though

They all display different traits. I won't put comparison's there to upset anyone.

Comparisons always bothered me.
Likening a players style is better imo.

I just hope they improve the support staff at least. Baumer isn't doing much to improve the d, Malholtra was great and they didn't replace him. Upper management hire would be good too

Please do. I’ll start a book.

Florida’s rookie 3rd goalie Knight steals one for them tonight.

I don't have a problem with comparisons, people just think of that player is going to be exactly like the player they are comparing him too. If you said "play driver" well there a few different types and sizes and speeds of those.

He's a "shooter" well different types of those as well.

Everything is done on computer now a days. Just have to go to the forums.

Maybe a bit more experience to help out Green.

Jets Vs Oilers

Almost done the first OT and neither team is at 30 shots yet.

I prefer the mould in which a player plays.
Choice of words semantics to some & not for others.

My hope is Pod is Smyl 2.0 with a bit extra.
