So what. BB was 14 spots behind him.
Bo was a solid pick and destined as a 2C if we r to be good in a few years.
- Nighthawk

Kesler was also drafted in one of the best drafts of all time.

In my opinion he's a kesler lite, Kes didn't realy blossom until he was 25ish? Really took off playing with Demitra and Sundin . If Bo's peak is 55-60 points then we did great. Hoping EP and Dahlen is our answer to our 1st line in a few years. With any luck we win the lottery this year and draft Dahlin and pair him with OJ as our top pair of the future
- canucks1986

As we currently sit if EP BB & Dahlen r not our future top 3 we are in big trouble.
The rebuild would be an abject failure & JB fired. Bo is Bo & as good as he is he has acquitted himself well. That said I agree our D is a blackhole still if we r to contend.

We only did that when we were in the Canucks shoes ...kinda like signing gagner and burmistrov

Now we trade all our picks

So the beginning of last year

I think 5.3 for 6-8 years, if 8 it will have bonus's attached for performance
- Retinalz

You don't think Van would want fixed costs in yrs 6-8? The issue with bonuses is its applied to the following years cap and most are put in place to be achieved.

Once again you are right


Sven for a first
Sutter for a first
Rodin for a first
Boucher for a first
Modino for a first

Why don't you show me a 24 year old traded at the deadline with similar stats traded for a 2nd or less. Just because you don't think so, just doesn't cut it.

Probably but one of the few drafts we ever picked well.
That was then & this is now & times have changed greatly where we are behind the 8 ball with tons of work to do still.

Van should move the farm system to Seattle. Crazy they are 2496 miles away from Utica.

What about Abby ?

As much as I like Bo. It was painful to watch the" toe drag" as his go to move 1 on 1. Hope he has worked on adding more to his repertoire this summer. I'd much rather see him burn the D wide then always try and toe drag his way though.

Bonino Vey Sutter Goldobin Dahlen Granlund Sven

Is that enough or should I do other teams too

Not TDL but it will give you a reality of what young similar players are worth.

You to could provide us with examples also. Touché 😂

I agree somewhat but it also says Sven doesn't suit a playmakers role.
Bo was on his own a lot last season. Another reason Sven needs to improve to more goal scoring. Bo has an all around game & Sven not even close.

Sven has no job security with TG at the reins. Many other wingers could swing into his spot.

To be fair Bonino was traded for Kesler

Then traded for Sutter. Sven, Vey and grandlund were still trying to establish themselves and goldobin and Dahlen are still prospects

I was talking the Bonino for Sutter trade

Sven would be a third liner on a good team .

A 3C for a 3C. Bonino when Kesler had us over a barrel.

I agree & hard at that to keep his job.
At his age & what he would want for a contract is nothing special.

Maybe Green would try Virtanen with Bo and Boeser. Both have great shots and would give Horvat options. Providing both Boeser and Virtanen earn their spots

I think Granlund is a better player and you only need so many smaller skilled players.

Same with Rodin , this is his show me year.

So Sven before anyone knew if he could even play in the NHL, he was worth a 2nd. Now that he has basically put up 2 consecutive 30 points seasons, he is still only worth a 2nd?

That sounds like a JB trade.

If it was a JB trade he would acquire a second for Sven and a second 😂

You really over value Sven and Sutter . Neither one is worth a first.
