Can't wait for another 20 pages of Benning Bashing after the last two days of threads.

It's draft week after all. Seems the bar is JB fails if he doesn't pick up more top picks. Plus given the varied numerous non consensus on picks for the draft it's being set up for a summer long Benning Bashing Bonanza.

Inevitable given WD was fired the target falls on JB. Consensus that team and players suck adds to it. Why now it all turns on the man in charge.

But I'm also looking forward to the verbage when several Canuck prospects earn spots on the team this season.

I really kinda hope the Canucks can take Rasmussen.
Either with the 5th or an acquired pick.

6'6", Big Center. Can score goals and goes to the net and hes a hometown boy, Born in Vancouver. Seems like a good combination to me.

If they pick him I'll start picketing.

I just want Benning to draft Rasmussen or Tippet so we can clean out the bandwagon fans. Start fresh with a new GM and a new solidified fanbase

I will lose my proverbial $hit if this happens. I will threaten physical harm to Benning and not follow through with the actual harm.

I sure hope that was a troll post and he was not serious. It makes me angry because it is possible.

Not too many here like him. I am one of the few that does, just not at 5. I have him at #11. Could be a player that jumps right into the line up. He looked like a beast in the weight room on a few of the interview/profiles I have seen on him.
- Reubenkincade

I have him between 15 and 20.

It's not possible. Rasmussen is about as far from a PP QB or playmaking center as any other player in the draft

JB has a hard on for those big Power forwards from BC.

You're just mad he traded your man crush away for Sbisa. Which is also why you hate Sbisa?

Virtanen isn't big...he is average size. I don't know why he was labeled a power forward

Virtanen was built like brick house before he got fat though.

Tippett in this draft class is the same, people keep calling him a powerforward but he's really not that big in terms of height.

So Vegas is reportedly stocking up on 1st round picks.

If they are looking to move up, i suppose it's not crazy to suggest that they might approach Vancouver about moving up to the 5th OA.

What would it take to move down 1 spot to 6th, assuming 2 players we liked are on the board at 5 still?

Just for fun.
Don't have to get all serious.
We all know it probably won't happen, you don't need to waste your time with that one.

The rumor is :

To Dallas
5th OA
Tanev

To Canucks
3rd OA
29th OA
Prospect

Would have to be a damned good prospect.

Honka?
The Ruuskie?

I kind of like it.
JB gets his man (after the top 2 are gone), plus another 2 prospects to stock the cupboards. If it's a grade A prospect i would be all over that, but even with a B prospect i think that's fair value.

Straight line power moves or beast mode & hitting like a truck r my idea of a PF.
Other versions out there eg Draisaitl Ovechkin Scheifele for a few

Tanev for a late 1st rounder, prospect and moving up 2 spots to #3, ensuring JB gets his guy.

Honestly, it's fair. Tanevs value is being overstated again. (frank)ing Canuck fans
