I don't get on other teams bandwagon but there are some teams I love to watch lose. Rangers are one of them.

I really do like Karlesson. He is the best defence man in the league. I love watching him play. The fact that he is still playing elite level minutes with a bad foot is unreal. I would give up my left testicle to have a defence man of his caliber on our team.

Ya he's something the team has never had. Maybe one day they get a chance to draft that guy.

I think Makar could be that guy. I know I will be crucified for this I have him over Lilgergren and Heiskonen. Dallas and Colorado both need D I don't see him on the board before us. I still think we need a centre.

We need Foote at 13 badly. Who has the 10-15 picks we could trade with?

10 Florida Panthers
11 Los Angeles Kings
12 Carolina Hurricanes
13 Winnipeg Jets
14 Tampa Bay Lightning
15 New York Islander

Teams picking 10-15. Has to be a way to move Tanev for that pick.

I don't think he's played a high enough caliber of hockey to say that personally but you never know. Junior A is a big step below American College hockey or the CHL.

I saw a clip of him up at the top of the circle in his own end while two of his teammates are battling for the puck down low....he's a defensemen???? WTF is he doing up there? He's got a LOT of work to do before he can be an NHL player.

At 4:04 is exactly why I like him. Poise, patience, not afraid to make a play. Kid is good. Always has his head up and he can skate and move out of trouble easily. Real deal.

Gut feeling they are going to keep Tanev for two more years. Trade him in his last year.

Canucks might go down the Nashville road draft top D, trade for top centers down the road when we are ready.

We do have a lot of young forwards already .

Not really.
They have a few prospects with potential but far from 'a lot of young forwards'.

Sort of what I meant . Last years forwards were 80% garbage. We have hope on the horizon.

If they are not rushed into the NHL in order to appease an emotionally fragile fan base, we do.

I'm happy with the direction, still the head scratchers though.

our d depth is getting better, damn we walked away from 2 prospects that looked like they were doing okay for late round picks.

I didn't care about the Mackenze Stewart pick before, but it seems odd we keep a long shot project and release 2 better players.

I think the Comets are going to more fun to follow this year than the Canucks.
