Might as well just trade all your picks outside the top two rounds for vets on expiring contracts every year. That way you will never have a log jam, and your drafted players will be able to step in 2-3 years after being drafted no problem.

A lot of armchair GMs have low expectations of Briesbois but our GM and people that know hockey nd have actually watched him say he is NHL caliber.

I think he has the making of a steady 3rd pairing guy.

I have no problem with the players on the list except for McDonaugh and Shattenkirk. I would of had Jones and Dumba instead.

He’s more like French Pizza man.

I am looking forward to the log jam at positions . It means they are not scraping the bottom of the barrel anymore.

I think Canucks have 3 top end NHL players in Boeser Hughes and Pettersson. and some very good players like Bo Sutter Edler Tanev.

I know everyone is expecting the worst but I can see things turning around quickly over the next two years.

No. Cecconi drafted by Dallas. Free agent next season.

Check some stats from the list. Nobody shows much promise. Probably why we aren't hearing about them.

I expect a bigger turnover on the rosters in Van & Utica maybe this year but definitely next year. Its starting to get too crowded already.

I agree but the logjam has to be dealt with.
How when or who not so sure.

You still need some vets on both clubs which means if some young players are ready then Gagner would be a perfect fit in Utica

Turn over will happen if the players show promise this year. End of last year Jasek and Dahlen came in and showed a little something. They have to keep it up. Lind, Gad, OJ, Palmu need to show they are more developed. The players in Utica have to continue to take steps forward as well. Should know by Christmas what the roster will be looking by the TDL

I have a big problem with rankings.
EK & Burns are not top 2.
Hedman & Doughty are easily at the top IMO

It would be less crowded if they stopped signing so many marginal FAs

Turnover meaning kids also sit or vets sit.
Steps forward is earning a spot.
