Pepsi is good too, preferably diet though, don’t want our prized prospect loading up on too many empty carbs

Can you imagine paying $8,000 and then watching your team lose.

lol just fishing for the response.

RHD is the top priority.

I agree. Need to shore up that side with someone reliable. Watching Myers panic dump like he had bad tacos is embarrassing imo.

Good to see Plasek is about to be signed, can never have enough 5'11 180 lb prospects in the system.👍

Benning does a great job of getting these types into the system, Lind, Jasek, Elias, Hughes, Rathbone, Lockwood, Plasek, Hoglander, Palmu, Manyukan, Brisebois, Juolevi.
On the other end of the spectrum, Jake, Jonah, Keppen just haven't cut the mustard.

My least favorite players of this size:
Makar
Kane
Point
Petey
Panarin

Just a handful of trash, put on some weight and size losers! Every time i watch these players i think "not big enough".

Thats odd, I don't mind any of those guys, but prefer Barzal over Elias and Panarin.
Also, are all those guys in the same organization?

Man, the amount of midgets around he league is embarrassing. It's like Kane, point - have you considered growing?!

The league is only getting bigger and slower, we need to draft 5 donald brashear types and get with the times.

What is embarrassing is how you keep bringing up the same 5 players.

You need a good mix of the speedy/skill types and bigger grinders.

Benning knows this.

What Drance wrote on the Athletic about him:

There isn't a lot of Czech players in the league but there are always strong players.

Players with size, that can still play hockey don't come around all that often anymore. Good thing JB jumped on Podkolzin.

Honestly thought you were trolling Ruby with drafting Luke H so he can QH rant Though NJD will draft him.

Too bad any RSD in this draft that Canucks get won't be seen for years. That leaves only trades and UFA route. Splash for Dougie or Seth?

I think your favourite player is probably Brad Marchand.

I know he's only 5'9" 180 lbs but it seems as if you look up too him

Czech league seems kind of weak. I always like to see how North American players are doing in foreign leagues to get a sense of the difficulty level.


Peter Mueller is the league’s top scorer and has a PPG of 1.4, he was at around a .5 PPG a few years ago in the AHL.

Anything Camera has a PPG of 0.8 in the Czech league and was an ECHL/AHL tweeter during his last season in North America

Martin Necas was scoring at .49 in the Czech league and is now scoring at .63 and rising in the NHL.

Czech league for younger players over the past decade is producing better players into the NHL than the Liiga and AHL.

Very true, especially when you consider the carbs in the seaweed!

Miller is a powerforward by today’s lowered standards as well, he doesn’t fight but throws hits. Those 2 in the top 6 will bring a nice element.

Guys like Hog/Bo/Pearson aren’t exactly lightweights or afraid to go to the net either

Marchand is a fantastic hockey player and a Bruin.👍
