Ryan ellis is the 20th in his draft year.

When was he ever a Niedermayer ceiling prospect?!? And why do you keep bringing him up?!?

it actually makes it easier, a team of 23 wins the Cup, not one single player. You need a collection of talent. He's just one of many things you need to win.

#bigpicture president trophy and more finals failure.

Would be unreal if they both ended up in Van.

Start the tank.

Wishful thinking, FA would have to pay off Bettman to ensure that we win the lotto, I doubt FA has THAT much money.

My mistake. (frank) Benning.

For the love of god can we now start rebuilding finally. Adding Hughes next year would be great.

Bettman doesn't choose the winner of the lottery, the balls do

@ryanbiech

Based on the comments of GM Jim Benning after round one - I think the organization has their eyes on a centre at 37

Some interesting possibilities there.

Olofsson, Thomas or McLeod.

Gut the veteran D and everything else early in the off-season for unprotected 2019 first rounders and have one more full season of tank.

Draft is in Van next year so they will have hometown advantage in the lotto...

Yesterday I thought I read Benning say he's looking for dmen in the second round??
- LeftCoaster

He talked about the possibility that a forward they like sliding to them at 7. Maybe he had convincing intel on Zadina and Tkachuck and was looking at D likely in the 2nd. It sure doesnt mean they didnt have a strategy. I know how you think...

I can't believe he said that about Vancouver. That's just disrespectful.

I’ve already burned my Hughes jersey 😡😡😡

Anyone see the girl on the stairs when Kotkaniemi walks by, skirt on with no underwear and people are taking photos of Kotkaniemi when he's walking to the floor

With Thomas, Wilde, Woo, Noel and others still around hopefully we can add another good player tomorrow.

Who do people want in the 3rd round?

Albin Erikkson looks alright. Big left winger. If not maybe a jack Mcbain or other center.

(frank) this teams need a rhd with potential, they better not reach for one. Had a chance and big (frank)en mistake made. Franchise is doomed. Lordy May. #itallmakessensenow.

If wilde is there they have to take him, he could be a top pairing guy if things go right. Thomas would be solid also though. Noel im not as sold on as he isnt all that physical but wouldnt be terrible.
