You think Bettman will let the Canucks get multiple PP’s every game after hearing that Boeser is on both units?


lol come on

Strange Vantel lists 3 players & omits Demko Lind Tryamkin & blows it off with if JB didn’t draft the previous 3. Thats a strange post considering gives credit but JB still in the doghouse.

Q: what do ppl expect from JB?
Win lottos & every trade & make up for decades of loser GM’s?
- Nighthawk

Expectations are ridiculous. He’s done better than 90% of GM’s would.

A top 10 GM is not someone you fire, he’s someone you quickly sign to an extension.

How can you say Tryamkin was a good pick when he was offered a job here and said no thanks I don't like it here. What is your definition of good pick

How do you know Lind is a great pick? Does Cole Castle ring a bell? Until they are playing here he is a prospect only.

Meanwhile Vegas will get a PP if anyone dares try to poke away the puck from their scrubs.

Brock probably scores 50 on that team.

This hat is better

I don't buy that. The twins don't have NTCs past this year , any bets they are back next year?

Well let's hope so.

Oh man, I don’t like that theme. Looks like we’re leaning towards conspiracy theory Thursday.

Aliens are controlling Bettman, who controls the NHL because the US is actually controlled by aliens, so US teams.

Well let's hope so.

Cannot get into Trees head. Thats not on JB unless u say he has no talent.

Lind was a good pick.
Idk what Cassels has to do with anything?

Lind can skate unlike Cassels. He'll be a great 3rd liner at worst, but most likely a 2nd line 20+ goal scorer.

Have a better than average track record at the draft
Make trades that help the team improve long term
Sign players to contracts that do not handcuff the team
Build towards a strong future...accepting near term pain...on the ice, front office, farm
Be credible when speaking with the fans & media (do not be Elmer Fudd)

He's obviously had hits & misses against my criteria so far. I'd give him a C+, trending better. If someone "better" were available, I'd take it, but I don't think Jim is an utter failure and should be summarily fired.

East coast is saturated . Bettman is like Horace Greeley (Go West Young Man) he wants to conquer the west now. He will gift Vegas Seattle and Vancouver the Stanley Cup to expand the NHL .

Does anyone think the time to move Edler might be the draft? If you let him know that you wont be signing him again it would you give you time to work out a sign and trade type deal similar to burrows. Let the player work out an extension with a team of his choosing.

I thought cassels would be at worst a 4th line center but would be a 3rd. Was I wrong He will be in europe next season maybe........

Notice how JB didn't ever hype him up when he first took over? He knew what was up. That's the difference between a real scouting guru and fans/bad gm's.

BEST IN TEAM HISTORY

Make trades that help the team improve long term
HAS NOT HURT THE TEAM

Sign players to contracts that do not handcuff the team
DEFINE HANDCUFF?

Build towards a strong future...accepting near term pain...on the ice, front office, farm
WHAT HAS THE PAST 3 SEASONS BEEN?

Be credible when speaking with the fans & media (do not be Elmer Fudd)
IRRELEVANT TO DO THE JOB
