My take & assessment on those 3 players that i've tracked is as follows....

Mittelstadt is a highly skilled playmaker & could be a real gem
Glass has an all around game & does it well even has the snarl.
Makar simply is a superior skating & offensive machine. PP QB written all over him.

I consider them all in the BPA & need categories.

Tippet and Rasmussen look good as well, either we get the center hulk in Rasmussen, or the highest rated Winger in the draft.

Mittelstadt might be gone? he's at 3 right now, but he could be available which might be a steal

Ok but with only 3 contracts left as in 47/50 already used what is the scenario?
PTO's? Trades to free up room? Or?

Next season only has 34 contracts, with only 5ish RFAs that should be resigned

Yeah we could see a few different signings after July 1.

They have 13 RFA's in the organization this offseason. Nillson is already gone, I think they should walk away from about 6-7 more of them and clear out the junk

This is an interesting reply. I guess you didn't comprehend the intent of my post.

The lucky bounce and propelling the canucks was a reference to having the super elite talent pool coming onto the canucks and having an immediate impact. The post, if you go back to page 8, 02:47, you will read my opinion on why this super elite talent group coming up needs to develop properly in a development league.

Not once did I make a mention that Chaput, Megna, Shore and Biega are NOT suspect talent but believe BB, Goldy & OJ are. Again selective interpretation on your part. But I would much rather have those guys while the true apparent super elite talent develops properly in a development league.

Seems to be a theme with my opinions, "develops properly in a development league".

If the "Nuck professionals may show you differently by their decisions" is a reflection of your opinions on who should be on the team this year over who shouldn't, well then this team is in a world of hurt for years to come and the super elite upcoming talent will be effected detrimentally by being put in a situation to fail. My opinion

It will be interesting to see how this post is interpreted and twisted.

Smart on their part if they think they can sign him, makes good sense on both sides

Will have to pay a price though to move one of Niemi and Lehtonen. I'd be fine if VAN wanted to get in on that action

Waiver scraps would be an upgrade on some of the guys they should move on from

Yeah we could probably take either one if it meant getting another draft pick, I just wonder if they'd want anything back. Could send Bachman

Also, try either The Teahouse Restaurant in Stanley Park or Season's in the Park in Queen Elizabeth Park near 33rd & Cambie both have beautiful views & great food & service. For classic high end steakhouse try Gotham Steakhouse & Cocktail Bar at Seymour & Dunsmuir.
