Agree, but, Chia only has four drafts under his belt, some of those kids still need time to emerge.

(frank), for a second there I thought you were talking about Linden.

Been hearing this on the radio all evening. What a gong show. I wouldnt be surprised if this generation is pissed away eventually and it gets harder and harder to sign players there.

Its not unique to the Canucks or Oilers or any one club, you see it all around the league, teams hiring former players in many facets.

I love Chiarelli so much for that Goalie he signed on his way out the door.



I dont know why it is sooooo funny to me, but it just is.

Like we are literally trash and have huge cap problems, but lets just FRANK up that cap some more.

Perfect ending

On twitter it was said that signing was the equivalent of farting just before you leave the midway point of a meeting for a restroom break

On twitter it was said that signing was the equivalent of farting in an office meeting, midway thru just, before you leave

That's a good descripion

It is priceless.

My only wish was a Pool Party trade for like some defense prospect from the 2013 draft who had no shot ever making the NHL

All good choices I'd say except Gillis, he has zero track record for building through the draft.
