There’s no way they’d pass unless it’s to trade back with someone who pays the price to come up & get him.

Never assume.

Everything I have heard/read suggest JB would select zadina in a heartbeat.
- neem55

He should be fired on the spot if he didn't.

Never assume.
- Lindenis#1

I think it’s a pretty safe assumption...

I feel like if they put him in the top6 and he scores again, this could be very good for those reasons.

The timing of his signing suggests he is an asset they're looking to move today, not some time during the season.

They wouldnt sign him if they didnt plan on keeping him....

Youre joking right?
- chompsey

No. Lucic cant skate anymore and his contract is worse than Loui's. If the Oilers added something else like a second then it seems more even.

Marek saying theres a real legit shot that Zadina slides to 7.

And the Canucks still pass on him.

Just when you think they can't (frank) up the 7

I refuse to believe it

I don't think so, Biech or Dhaliwal reported they were talking to 3-4 other guys today too.

Youre joking right?

That extra year with Lucic really sucks


Especially given the Canucks future “timeline”

You’re gonna be happy to have that LE money freed up a year sooner in the future.

#10 pick is intriguing though

I take LE everyday over Lucic. Also, Lucic would never come here. He wants out of the Canadian market. Pls delete all your Lucic proposals.

I'd play LE with Pettersson. Just need a C now. How hard could that be?

What's the over/under on how long Burke keeps his tie done up today?

- Nucker101

Lucic is a 5 on 5 player only and a bad one at that. He provides no PK value and no PP value. That isn't going to improve going from riding shotgun with McDavid to playing with Sutter.

The 10 makes you think but I don't see Edmonton including it in a forward trade. They need to fix their blueline and the 10th is in the mould of how they go about trading Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and 16+33.

The deal is a no go from the word go.....Lucic would NEVER waive to come to Vancouver so any talk of a deal is a waste of breathe......

He said they'd still take Bouchard.

I'm not as bullish on the idea as he was but I totally wouldn't be shocked if it happened.

They can’t be that retarded


This goes against everything Benning has repeatedly said over the last 48 hours

I like the Granlund re-up. Rather see him not in a checking role. Not necessarily a scoring role but a 3rd line.

- Lindenis#1

Benning has already intimated if say Zadina or Tkachuk fell, he'd take the forward.

I'm obviously putting words in his mouth but he alluded to it in his radio interview yesterday.......Marek is just talking out of his ass....

Whoa whoa whoa. Are you saying this management group wouldn't act counter to their messaging and plans that previous moves suggest?

Yep

Freak out has already started and havent even got to the draft yet.


Craig Anderson requests trade out of Ottawa. Ottawa is a trainwreck

Why the (frank) haven’t there been any trades yet 😡😡😡stupid Prez
- CanuckDon

I have a sneaking suspicion that they like to muzzle some of the draft pick trades (if possible) until the draft show so Bettman can use it as a ploy to increase interest/ratings.
