Agreed. Plus releasing documents that only affect one side kinda destroys the image that you're trying to create of being an impartial whistle-blower
- lumlums

there are lots of interviews where he addresses that very point about releasing emails from Dems and seeming like he's in the tank for the other side.

Why don't people address the fact that the only proven election rigging was by the Dems against Bernie Sanders?

pastrnak >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> gudbranson & mccan put together.


koency is proving he belongs in the nhl. boeser is still a prospect. a bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in the bush.

And Oh. Next time post something on why boeser’s production has declined this year.

poop a brick. Polak is better than Gudbranson

not sure what you are trying to prove here, my point is that JB isn't as bad as you paint him to be. different players develop at different speeds.

the other point is that being a crappy team year after year for a 10 year or more stretch isn't something I'm keen to see for the Nux. teams that go full rebuild don't always work out in the 5 year time frame people seem to assign the process.

having 2 or 3 down years with a bounce up in between to get top 5 picks that pan out and a bunch of picks in the middle of the 1st round or later seems to be a better route than breeding a losing culture that is harder to get out of...

You guys could have had a solid core group that was drafted with only couple top 10 picks. but benning whiffed. And you’re ignoring that boeser’s production is down. And probably sticking your head in the sand about demko’s poor numbers and the overall mess your ahl development team is.

Tkachuk, Koency, Pastrank, Nylander along with horvat would have been a great and realistic core for you guys.

But when you pick guys like joulevi, boeser, mccann and virtanen instead, you won’t get the quick rebuild you are hoping for.

So no, benning is not good at drafting. This is some sort of myth from the canucks board. Probably started from delusion since there is zero to be positive about the canucks otherwise.

and I guess the leafs culture of losing is proving impossible to break.

Tell us how you've been coming here for years, how you don't troll and ask us how disappointed we'll be when reality hits and we find out what a poop team we have after all.

That's how you play.

did i say the losing culture is impossible to break? no. it's hard to break. maybe your team has done it. we'll find out. same with the oilers. but getting a player like Matthews or Eichel will do that for a team. Not every team can count on getting a player like that.
sure there could be better players than those picked by JB, but he's turned McCann into something useful. JV is still being worked on and power forwards take longer to develop. Boeser had an injury this season and talking the guy down doesn't make him a bad pick. You have no idea what Juolevi will turn into. It's harder to find a top pair D man which is what the projection is for him than a top 6 forward.

it seems you are just looking to argue for the sake of arguing. I'm hopeful for the Nux going forward. I haven't cut your team down or insulted you or the fans of your team. Not sure why you keep on trying to start something.

Agreed they're at the point where Granlund, Sven, Gudbranson and Sutter are considered good trades. Think the Steen for Stempniak days

realistically, the worst case is that the jury is still out. no one will know until a few years have passed.
