I don't actually, I thought I did but upon further inspection saw you were quite right. Burke sure did draft well though.
Also Edler and Hansen were also home runs in the same year as Schnieder.

I guess that depends on the definition of home run. Hansen is a nice player especially considering where he was taken but not something I would consider a home run

If Fiddler got a 4th, burrows is likely a 3rd. Or a 4th + 5th.

I will be happy if we get anything for him, I won't be 1 to be whining about could a, should a, would a, like some on here are already sharpening their pencils to be doing.

I am definitely referring to him as a 9th round draft pick home run, which IMO is the case

A pre-game note to ponder.

Remember all the talk of playing Boucher last time Nucks were in Nashville? It was a former team where he made a highlight real goal with back in December. Well a spot opened up with Guance's demotion. But did Boucher get any consideration? Should he?

Now back to the musings and meditations of trading the team away. Like it's a forgone conclusion as doable, wanted and needed.

We haven't seen him at practice but you would think he deserves as much as a chance as Chaput or Megna.

You're right this team is really good, we should totally push for the playoffs. Maybe trade Bo and our first for a first line center like duchene and go for the cup! It's not like we finished 3rd last in the league last year and have the worst league wide stats of teams in bubble position by far. We might only have one and a half lines, but if you think about it- playoffs comes down to heart.

Rumor has it he's slower and in less game shape as them. But again what do we know on practices other then he's only used as the extra skater.

I would like to see Hansen go to the Oilers for Neimelainen and a third . They don't have a second this year.

you got all that from that line? Wow talk about a misread.

You know that line is all about management and where their heads are at as far as trades. Plus state of the league.

Until this road trip is over it's all speculative and even then at that point it will still be hard to say what will happen. It's a really weird season with Vegas. Plus who's really moveable on the Canucks. Not to meantion what the entry draft has to offer.

Nice shot by Marcus. He's showing more so that he's a keeper. Plus Hansen being a factor on that play. Hansen continues strong play from Wild game on having an impact. Says a lot about those two. Shame Nucks probably won't be able to keep both of them.

I don't get upset anymore . I just go check the mock drafts and it calms me down

Alright I'll go through these once more.

1) Canucks will not make the playoffs. You can call it speculation, we can make a bet. Whatever you want, there is an over 90% we don't make the playoffs and watching this team I'll take those odds.

2) Hansen, Burrows, Tanev or Edler are all movable. For various reasons, but mostly because they have playoff experience.

3) Waiting for "good drafts" is all fine and good, but the truth is: every draft is good, and we have a GM that specializes in scouting/drafting so trading for picks seems like the soundest strategy to get better.

Markstrom looking a little rusty. Sedins looking slower every game now...

Marky should have had it?

I got no problem with Eddie wiping out that dude on the boards.
Sutter overskated it.

I'd rather see the 4th line on PP they at least work hard.
