Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks Game Day: April 12 at Edmonton, Draft Lottery Odds The Vancouver Canucks will play their youngsters and look to end the season on a positive note as they travel to Edmonton to face the Oilers on Saturday night.

Tonight and tomorrow could be Torts's last games ever coaching in the NHL. Wonder what's going through his head. He's made lots of money, but his chosen career is likely over. May even humble him a bit.

Mike Gillis talked like he’d already won the Stanley Cup. And I walked out of there going, man, if they lose this, like, he really thinks they’ve won the Stanley Cup. And Aquilini, the way he’s throwing around the booze — again, really nice guy, thank you, I appreciated the shot, my $400 shot of tequila or whatever it was — but they were acting like champions already.

So I guess Mark Recchi was right.........

no shot blocking!! give smyth the goal!1



funny how tank nation works. u sit some of the vet stars for lesser younger players.
but thing is, theyre trying to prove something and wont dog it no matter what


the 2nd/3rd overall is up for grabs. lets make a deal.

That's one area where Linden will help. Having such a smug jerk as management never helps.

Sounds like it wasn't just Gillis that was the smug jerk. The Aquillinis are still here...

The fans will give him a standing O



O no

Referring to last blog. Tanev Hansen and 6 th overall for Kane.

Chompsey says overpayment ,Alex says not enough

I say this without trying to be a troll.

It would take our 6 th plus a good Dman. The only ones that would be available are Tanev and COrrado.. They rest have NTC s and almost surely would not give them up to play on a bottom five team even though we are a bottom 10 team. The shorter winters and the city would probably sway them to stay here.

I do like the city of EDM BTW.

Tanev + or Edler/Garrison for 2/3 pick.

Edler won't waive plus why wouldn't they just take Ekblad?

I don't think Chompsey wants the guy. I am positive it's not enough.

I say overpayment as well. 6th overall should be more than enough for that potential locker room cancer.

His reputation has hurt his trade value. He has 19 goals 21 assists and gets benched a few times. He has the reputation of being a cancer.

Say Florida picks in the 2 spot. They chose Ekblad, do the Oil consider?

If Edmonton doesn't get ekblad they are going to get some solid offers from a bunch of teams. Reminds me of St Louis rams in this years draft.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Toronto makes some ridiculous offer to Edmonton. The way they crashed out of the playoffs this year.

I see it literally being any player on their roster and their pick.

Clarkson + Pick Edm wanted him so bad last summer

I don't think Chompsey wants the guy. I am positive it's not enough.

I'm note saying overpayment, but he needs to mature and who feeds him the puck? We need to draft a high skilled guy at 6 - like a nylander or someone of that ilk.....

I'd trade Jensen, Hansen, and another piece or two, just not that 6th overall....
