Jim Benning collecting draft picks.

Have you seen Buffalo lately?

If you really want this to happen, you're going to need to devote all your energy into finishing last.

Or maybe that's not devote any of your energy...

Anyhoo, it seems like it's down to you, Buffalo and Arizona.

I'm rooting for your guys - same country, different conference.

He can’t. It’s too obvious of a move and Aquilini and season ticket holders will catch on.

Benning can be an elder in the cult

The theory is that Benning makes moves to trick Aquilini/fans into believing they’re trying to be competitive. But Benning himself knows that the moves won’t work out and the team will get a high pick.

Basically he plays dumb but is secretly an evil genius.

This is only true if Aqualini has traded any and all trades for draftpicks. This is possible, but very unlikely. Maybe we should start petitions for Aqualini to sell the team?

Tanking by accident is rock bottom. Especially when it happens in consecutive years. There’s nothing lower.

Tanking for over 50 years is worse

We didn't tank for 50 years.

That was our problem.

hmm.

i just was reading that article about Dahlen talking with Vancouver media and it ends by saying we'll find out the draft order in a couple weeks, but didn't say the date.

Dont forget Doughty

They have to fit his contract as well

Things are really exciting, now.

When Bettman pulls the handle behind closed doors for the lottery , he knows no one gives a rats ass about Ottawa Arizona and Buffalo so he will award it to Canucks

Sorry meant April 28.

And Karlsson because why not.

If we win Dahlin, would you make a trade for Karlsson and try to compete next season, or stay the course?

ahh. still a ways off then.

You'd think they could do the draft order for all teams that don't make the playoffs right after the regular season ends.
