And the following year we will get a even higher draft pick.
- A_SteamingLombardi

It's possible but I doubt it. Top 10 pick this year and next year and I think we will be a bubble team in 2019. Our D will be solidified by then and we will be adding two legit (non-Sedin) forwards to the mix by then.

The lotto luck says 1OA this season and next two as well. When they are a bubble team that falls short. Trust in Nucks lotto luck. Where you finish is less important.

Love how everyone is on Goldobin, almost suggesting he's the main reason for the teams ineptitude. The San Jose press is even on this. Give me a fukin break.
- VanHockeyGuy

SJ press? U mean the 1 guy who is a part time columnist? 😂😂

For me he is a non factor. He hasn't done anything yet. He looks out of place so far ,but when the whole roster can't score he blends in .

I think fans make way too much out of players that don't matter like Boucher Rodin Goldobin Megna Chaput

Sure, he's a kid like JV. Another whipping boy. There's still time to develop. These big salary guys or WD favorites should think of picking up the slack while that happens.

You're as optimistic as Lefty going to a buffet and expecting hot dogs.

This site is crap. Sick & tired of errors & the need for an ad blocker or whatever.
Its constant & outright stupid.

The assigning of blame is paramount in this day and age.
And it always starts with the local media.

I don't even think Boucher is worth re-signing unless it is for AHL, same with Chaput. Call-up depth only.

I don't think there is anything special about his game except he puts the puck in the net

No need to, we re-signed Megna!

Doubt he will clear waivers. He showed a scoring touch on sad sack in offense Canucks.

3 consecutive years of top 5 drafting can change an organizations fortunes in a hurry. I don't anticipate a 15 year rebuild like Edmonton and TO.

3 years away from being 3 years away.

Perhaps the Sedins become as vocal as OV about going to the Olympics. Maybe then FA will force TL to pressure them into a trade.

so you say...your prediction is we won't make it back to the playoffs until 2023? If that's the case even I'd support Benning and Linden being fired

I have a FREE tic to the Apr 9 game in EDM and I'm not going!!

- LordHumungous

I also got free tickets to that game, although ill be going, hoping to see at least 1 goal

Still can't believe I managed to get 4th, had not Jones and Gibson both sucked/got injured, I might have actually pulled it out against Lefty and got to the Finals. Everyone kept trying to get me to trade Crosby... yeah, not happening. Had I had better D, I might have done better in the regular season and had a better seeding.

True story....

Robin Williams was on the Leno show & Jay asked him who is the funny person he knows?
Robin answered God.
Jay said how so?
Robin said think about it....
He gave man a dink & a brain but only enough blood to run 1 of them.

They wont be here for the success, just like Gillis took the credit for Burke's work, Gillis will take the credit for Benning's work when he's re-hired.

I still am convinced management will make a trade for a top 6, they know revenue will drop if they do nothing and that would cost their jobs. (Although thats how a rebuild works) my top guesses 1.E.Kane 2.Nugent-Hopkins 3.Galchenyuk (far fetched but were rumors)

If Willie returns it won't be because he didn't try to get fired. It seems every time management said one he he would say another. Maybe each is tiring of the other.
