Randorph and Romanuk are so (frank)ing bad. They actually make me think Ball is good. Love Bob Cole, breath of fresh air listening to that senile old bastard.

how was the masters?

only a 12% each draw. It's a very likely possibility. It's not doom and gloom. It's just odds.

Sure I'd like Patrick. We need a top 6 C badly. But if I had a choice between this year or next? I'll take the #1 pick (or top 3) in 2018....


Actually if I had a choice, Id like #1 last year and this year and next year.....

My point was his comment was asinine. It's typical Vancouver fan calling a loss and if it happens they feel better about themselves. If it doesn't, then great we won.

I'm surrounded by those type of fans, they can't be positive and excited because they are so accustomed to losing and being let down.

Sure use odds, but coming 29th we have better odds than a team that came 28th, 27th or anywhere after. So using that bullpoop is not productive and a waste of thread space.

Amazing. Great experience. Watching Sunday on tv was also amazing. Anyone going I'd recommend going Thursday Friday and then watching the weekend on tv.

This is a mock Vegas draft where they take Cram. off the Nucks.

https://vegashockeyknight...ights-mock-expansion-1/2/

The consensus is as varied I guess as is the entry draft. So we'll see where the chips fall. But either way there will be a lot of choices for the Nucks who to move and retain in their system let alone roster. They have youth coming so there are vets and young non-established players on the fringes where the choices will be made.

For example, if Sbisa stays then Canucks will look to move him or another vet D at the entry draft. Stecher voted best D or the big guy Tree are NOT sitting as extras or being moved to Comets. Plus OJ is going to get stronger so he'll need a spot since AHL and Europe are out.

Likewise if Vegas doesn't take any forwards. A vet contract like DD's may get moved. Make room for a Cram, Labate or Guance. Others may get signed to send to Comets for depth if not picked up on waivers.

Then the skill type extra forwards will be harder to decide. They don't clear waivers easily. So who to retain on show me contracts. Rodin and Boucher lead the way. They would be more ideal for a pump and dump at TDL then a random UFA. Like the Skille type who would come here don't garner value at TDL. Not sure if any other available UFA's that are willing to come for a show me contract would either.

Who's bouma?

Regardless of the +- if you guys check out the goal it was classic OJ, the dude is the king of the no look pass - can't wait to see this kid in a NUcks uniform.

As for Thomas, i'd love to get him in the draft but his stock has consistently been rising, he's really having a heck of a year/playoffs. I don't think he'll be around in the 2nd.

btw did any of you see Radulovs goal?? It was amazing, makes you understand why Rick Allen is successful.

Do it!

Blue Jays in 30 is on now.

McDavid is at a different level. He's already the best player in the NHL.

Ran simulator yesterday. Took 20 try's to get #1. Only got 2nd & 3rd once rest were 4th and more often 5th. Heck Philly, Bolts and Isles had more top 3 finishes.

Today ran it once got 1st with Dallas and Vegas. So quit while ahead. Odds and luck are funny that way.
