When I get back to K town I may look for a lot to build on.

Funny, everyone feels the same about you. You don't understand anything about value or the big picture. Take Boeser for example, his 7.5 QO isn't until the off season. Currently his cap is 5.8m, if a team takes him purely as a rental his value is around 1st and a 2nd - 2 1sts based on what previous UFAs. The fact that a team has control over his future adds a little extra. They can see what he is wanting long term in order to qualify him and work on a long deal, or let him walk and test FA if he wants his 7.5.
The fact that you say poop like "His 7.5m QA gives him negative value" proves you know nothing about hockey.

Now if we are talking about the off season, his value is lower. However we can give teams the ability to see what the deal looks like in term and dollar amount before, even on draft day we could get around a 1st +maybe a 3rd in value.

You can tell Don, much like his avatar, is losing his grip on reality. In the past week he has called about 8 people here the "stupidest poster on HB".. which, unless he's just constantly making new lists, doesn't make sense. Bath salts?

Cancer For Top Draft Prospect: Winger Ivan Miroshnichenko has been viewed as one of the top prospects heading into the upcoming draft. Unfortunately, he has a big fight to overcome before he can think about hockey again as it was revealed that the 18-year-old has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and could miss the entire 2022-23 campaign as a result. The good news is that it’s believed to be the most common form and is curable but even with that, it’s likely to affect his draft stock in July.

I think he just calls the most recent person to call him out the stupidest poster on HB

Looks like most of the top goalies in the league make saves for their teams.

Should trade for him in the off season. Big right shot center

No wonder Nucker is dead set on trading for Mark Scheifele. Guys a defensive disaster.

My Zaida used to take us for Chinese food every time he visited. I’ve forgotten the name of the place, corner of Quadra and Johnson, they got shut down a few years ago for gross violation by the health inspector.

Sweet and sour spare ribs were always on the table.

You pick your battles I guess

Getting drunk is free. Bit of makeup and a crop top and gringos will be buying him drinks all night.

I don’t think it’s that Demko makes saves, I think it’s that when Demko isn’t on 🔥 they can’t outscore their defensive lapses. It’s only what (Booner?) 10 games that they’ve been averaging 4+ goals/game? Prior to that they couldn’t win if the gave up even 3.

I think Halak is a pretty good example of why they need stellar tending

It's what good consistent goaltenders do nightly around the league.

𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀 Faber 🔥🎙@ChrisFaber39·23hSources tell me 6’3” right-shot defenceman Jake Livingstone is looking to go pro after this season.

He is a 22-year-old sophomore. From Creston, BC—one of the top NCAA free agents in college hockey.

The latest his season can go is April 9th.

I’m told to expect Brandon Scanlin goes pro after his NCAA season.

This is my favourite player for the #Canucks to target in free agency.

6’4”, left-shot defenceman, and he is the meanest player in college hockey.

An AHL pairing of Scanlin-Livingstone would be fun to watch.

At least it's not Dhawali.

There's a difference. If you can't see it or quantify it by now, you're missing a big part of the game.

I didn’t read the list.

Agreed, he is a good, consistent goaltender. Now, if they could put together a good, consistent forward group and a good, consistent defensive group we’d have a real shot at doing some playoff damage!

Scanning and Livingstone are 2 players that I posted about in here a few weeks ago.

Faber has started to realize that size is needed, on this roster.

Boeser wants to be in Vancouver and his own management group isn’t willing to pay his QO. But ok little man, teams will line up to overpay him 👍🏻

Did I call you the stupidest poster on HB? I don’t think so. I called you the least likeable but that’s not true either. You are the second least Likeable. Yes I have a list
