“Vancouver’s too cold”


(his hometown is colder than Vancouver)


Drugs are bad

Yeah, it’d be a longshot but for the first time in forever I could see it happening.

It’d probably be more lowkey though. Like a Kyle Turris thing where he signs and plays but eventually wants out
- Nucker101

a college kid might be the one to do it. A Turris thing maybe, but with college kids they can always Hayes/Wheeler/Butler/etc. or make the team sweat their ass hard enough they trade the kid after 2 years of college instead.

I imagine its less so now. And JB is a USHL/college guy but you never know.

I just find it interesting when you get tidbits about seemingly innocuous things that teams consider important.

Apparently almost every draft interview this year involved questions about Fortnite. I would have killed to be a fly on the wall as these old ass grampas try to ask a teenager questions about video games.

One reporter mentioned that a team was asking players whether they play video games aggressively or if they're "a camper". I (frank)ing died.

I used to (frank)ing hate campers

My boat has a Transom with a Transducer on it. My tool shed has a Transit in it.... unless one of the Transients around here stole it....


- boonerbuck

Yeah, I didn't get what he was trying to tell me.

Why would anyone take Bouchard? The guy can't turn fast enough to stop the opposition. He's a volume shooter who will put up 30 assists a year and 5goals. Guess whos another high draft pick with a cannon who can't accelerate fast? Gudbrandson and Cam Barker.

Take wahlstrom or bodqvist or dobson(in that order), go for a home run instead of continually bunting for the safe single.
You and don can keep playing it safe, I'm taking the condom off when I touch myself....

Wahlstrom seems to be the most commonly “approved” prospect in here.


Does anyone other than myself or DCT not have him ranked top 7?

I wouldn't be unhappy with tchunk even if he's not a home run style pick.

I don't think koktiny is in the same class

I just dont want or need the Calgary comparision with the T chuncks. Dont chase a name of someone you should have drafted

Boqvist at 26....Malloy is on point with his rankings

I only just finished going through all the comments in the last blog, now i have another 250 comments too read.
FYI- your survey equipment is called a transom, not a transit, please focus on reality, not some dream of , Boyqvist, becoming the next Karlson!😀
- Reubenkincade

I bet he’s afraid of ending up in Ottawa especially



Maybe he’s “tanking” for Detroit or Chicago
- Nucker101

id imagine several prospects are crapping themselves hoping it's not ottawa.
The nhl guys traded to ottawa the other day may be fashioning nooses

Lol.... are you his burner?

Hey look, someone else checks elevations with the stern of a vessel!


I expected this from Don, but not from you dragon.

Good list, I think bouchard and Dobson should be ahead of Kotkaniemi, but other then that I'd say it's fairly accurate.

I agree that the back end needs a shake up, but lets start with the lesser talented players. I would much rather see Stecher and Hutton moved for a low ball offer, Tanev has great defensive value while both Stecher and Hutton struggle at the defensive side of the game.

I'm with Carol, if there are no good offers I'd rather Tanev stays.
- Makita

I remember when people on this board thought this guy Tanev was worth a first rounder... I also remember saying to trade him when the trading was good... Hope you've all been well on the board.

BCLC odds for who the Canucks will draft.

Boston was bad for years after that trade, they won in spite of it, not because of it.
- DariusKnight

They weren't bad for years after that trade, I'm not sure where you're getting that from? Three years after the trade they had a 116 point season and missed the President's Trophy by one point.

Them winning had nothing to do with the trade, they won because they drafted well in 2003/2004/2006. I'm was just stating you can win even after you make a bad trade if you have a management team / scouting team that drafts well.
