SSM beat OS 9-7 in game 7 today. Gadjovich and McKenzie just became available.

McKenzie 16 points in 11 games
Gadjovich 4 points in 9 games. I think Gad's is still injuried.

If #Canucks don’t sign the 20 year old McKenzie by June 1st, he goes back into the NHL draft.

I hope Benning is scouting him. Hate to see him slide by in the draft.

Why did he drop
- VANTEL


I watched everything I could on Bouchard last night. Couple of hours at least. His skating is pretty slow but his feet are still agile in tight. Its just insane what he does when he has the puck though. Not just his shot but he undresses the goalies quite often when he jumps up. Scores from absolutely everywhere. His foot speed is questionable for the NHL but he does kind of remind me of Brent Burns. There's just so much talent there you really don't know what to project at this age. Could be a star dman,,, could be converted to a 4rth liner PP specialist... could be a bust.

I'm still trying to decide what I want for a dman if Dalin and Boqvist are not available where we pick. I'm now leaning towards Hughes as my #3D I think. Then Bouchard or Dobson.

I am weary of Hughes, he has high end skill. but like Ellis his size may prevent him from being that stud #1 or een #2 dman we need. Bouchard and Dobson both have the skills, but also the size to go with it.
I lean towards Bouchard but would also be happy with Dobson.

Hughes and Boqvist seem to be similar in many ways. Size, foot speed and agility, offensive skills and instincts. Boqvist has a better shot. Hughes really shines in big games.

Man. I have not had the chance to watch much of LV, but they are impressive.

I had no idea they were so tight defensibly.
they are so quick with their sticks, they are making the LAK look bush league.

If I was San Jose, I'd be wanting to put away Anaheim next game because sure as heck they wouldn't be wanting to play a 6-7 game series and then have to go against a well-rested Vegas team that plays THAT fast and has THAT hot of a goaltender.

Vegas proving the importance of getting the high draft choices in each and every round by tanking. Same as Boston and San Jose.😁

Edit: hope Washington is done in the 1st round.

Winnipeg looking darn good.

D is a big issue for Hughes. Pass
Ty Smith is intriguing.
Wilde if we can get another 1st.

He's got plenty more to complain about still. Sven for example
