But that is mostly defensive draws, and then to the bench on the break out. He is amazing at winning faceoffs
- Makita

Agreed but that's huge. If you win 70% of your defensive zone face offs your GAA is going to be pretty good

Maybe he could take Malholtras 4th line minutes, someone is going to have to sit to get him into game shape.
- Makita

Even 3rd line center. Schroader as 2nd. Then stick Lappy in Manny spot till he returns.

About damn time, that guy was a horrible GM. I don't see Davidson hiring Burke, he wants input on decisions that his GM makes and Burke would never agree to that.

This is probably the least surprising move made in the NHL in years. Not only is Howson horrible, so is the owner. Even if he was offered the position I doubt BB would even consider the job.

Wow I'm getting killed in the draft! Looking forward to Hank getting the record tonight and the Nucks winning this one.

Let me know when you decide to trade Seguin or Eberle.

He won't and Davidson wouldn't want him either. Davidson wants input on the roster, something that Burke probably won't like.

Personally I've always been a fan of Malholtra, and I'm quite impressed with how he has returned after the eye injury, but really he is a one dimensional player at this point in his career...he wins face-offs, important face-offs...but there needs to be a more versatile player and maybe Lappy is more suited.

I have been pleased with Schoedrers play so far, would like to see him stay with the team when Kesler returns.

Even a billionaire owner surely must be modest enough to realize he's not suited for the job he's invested in after a decade of failure. Or not...

Only if you trade Johansen, Murray, Dubinsky, and a first for Luongo when you get the job

I like you're input and you couldn't draft worse if you threw darts at names on a board. +1 here.

Johansen, Murray, Dubinsky, Johnson plus two firsts and a second for Luongo, Raymond and Ballard and a conditional seventh round pick if the Canucks win the Cup, otherwise we get an extra second round pick.

Sounds good, but you realize his overage CHL point production is only about the same as Alexandre Mallet's at the same age, right
