Well the knee jerkers who say fire everyone present no solutions. Simplistic BS. JB has done quite well turning over the roster & stockpiling prospects. TL gets credit as far as hiring him & thats it. TG was groomed & will be just fine once prospects are ready. The 2019-20 season is on my calendar as judgement time to show the fans the rebuild has taken full root & worked.

All we need to do is win the lotto, so were picking 1oa and take dahlin, and then you and I are on the same page... for one day

The more I see him play the more I believe he will be huge game-changer for us. He is very good at both ends of the ice. A true #1, similar to a Hedman in Tampa.

Unfortunately, he will probably end up in Edmonton.

Who went #2. Just saying, but I agree hedman IMO is the best in the NHL and should have won the Norris last year.

Interesting discussion on Hockeycentral at noon. They devoted at least 15 minutes talking Canucks.

Corey Hirsch was the guest
He says Boeser will shoot the puck through the goaltender if he has too. They all compared him to Hull and Bossy.
Hirsch figures Demko is a year or 2 away. They DO NOT want to rush him.
They, Hirsch, MacLean and Shannon, really like the skill of Petterson, like Gadjovich, Goldobin, Juolevi and Jake's speed.
On management they think Green has handled Jake well and teaching him to utilize his nhl skills and eliminate the skills that don't work in junior. Like how they are handling the Sedin's.
On a bad note too many on here, they like the job Benning/Linden have been doing in restocking talent.

Boeser is actually practicing on both power play units. Green might actually be on to something

I love this idea, might as well. I'd play him on every offensive zone faceoff and powrplay I could. the kid's poise when shooting... I said it before, he reminds me of Naslund with his accuracy and release. Except he's doing right off the bat, not 4 or 5 years into his career. I don't see Hull or Bossy, those guys had such unique shooting styles and Brock doesn't use a clapper. He shoots top cheddar and takes just enough time to make sure it's accurate, but it's all wrister.

Winning the draft lotto would be huge for us this year.

Dahlin >>> Nico, Nolan, Makar

odds of it happening are slim tho. I am not getting my hopes up

I’ve found it’s best to just close your eyes and cover your ears when he has the puck.

Kills any dreams before they even occur.

% chance of winning 1st OA for bottom 5 finishing teams?

31 18%
30 12.5%
29 10.5%
28 9.5 %
27 8.5%

So we might have better odds than other teams, but i still don't like those odds

And what are the chances by finishing 1-16, go for the best chance and hope for the best. Every year is a different opportunity, or like bits and bites every hand full is a different combination.

Again, it's better to finish higher in the standings. Gives you a better chance of moving up than down. More wins also gives the team more confidence and belief.
