What a crock of shit! Seriously. Canadian teams have as much of a window to be successful in the NHL as every American team but they won’t take the time to rebuild properly like American teams do because they feel the pressure to be successful.

Recently, in NHL years, Vancouver had one of the best teams in the National Hockey League for a few years with Swedish, American, Canadian and several other nationalities of players who were built up over time. Now the Leafs have a very good team and could win a Cup.

Most recently, during the Jim Benning years, the Vancouver Canucks had an excellent opportunity to do a proper rebuild, but they didn’t, because of ownership. The same thing is going down in Philadelphia, they’re not allowed to rebuild, Comcast says they won’t allow it because the fans deserve better. In actuality, they want the gate and tv revenue but they’re too stupid to see the forest for the trees.

In Denver did you ever once over the last 10 years hear their ownership crying blues about them finishing near the bottom of the league for several years, no you didn’t. Now look at them, another Stanley Cup because they rebuilt property through the draft and then made some excellent trades and additions to get to where they are now.

I enjoy using Bader's stuff for projection on individuals but not his rankings. They are so very poor. Very one sided analytics.

Don’t forget, it’s Brackett that runs the draft and drafts players. Not Guerin.

Don’t ruin my narrative, I’m wanting to tell Reuby what a treasure in Judd Brackett that Jim Benning cost the organization.

Weird how Wild are drafting forwards over 6' now that Brackett is running the show there.

Millers agent seems to be sending a signal that resigning is more likely. Makes it more genuine that Miller & family really like the Van lifestyle. Who wouldn’t unless home sick be the biggest reason & I don’t get that feeling from Miller. I’ve no doubt he appreciates the opportunity he got here but he’s legit passionate about winning. I’m giving it an 80/20 he resigns.

He's looking at cap space of the teams he wants to go too and extending looks like a smart idea

Dear everyone: we will no longer be using the secret, untraceable fund (which by the way we were skimming from your kids annual fees) to pay out sexual assault claims with no oversight or accountability. Instead, we will use this money to pay cleaners to get rid of the complainants…

Yup & why shouldn’t he. He wants to get paid & he will but also greed only goes so far. Being an integral part of what is going on has its merits. 6/9m is 54m & I think he can scratch out an ok living on it.

If a 7yr term how much would Miller take a shave if at all?
