Meh

I think you need to massively overpay to get guys like Marner/Point and their salaries will be too inflated in relation to their contributions.

This team won't be good until they can draft well enough and have good players contributing on ELC's or even bridge contracts.

Petey is one, Hughes is likely two but I still have doubts he will be a top pair guy.

I think it will be the another 2 or 3 years until they can compete and the players drafted the next couple years need to be able to contribute on ELC's.

It would be 10.5 but he did get 94 points

Meh

Three good pickups

Thought so.

I'd love to see Stevie Y make some bold moves with rebuilding Detroit and attack the TML.

Threaten with an o/s and then get them to make trades to free up cap space.

I would bet Toronto already has trades in place to move a few players.

But what city do they play in? It's so confusing.

If Mike Gillis was still the GM he would offer Marner a 1 year $16m contract, then negotiate an 8 year extension the following January.

Forgot about Kelly, who is also a good pickup.

So basically the same but they recognize that people know where the Canucks play...

It’s still that stupid whale, Moby Richard or whatever it’s name is.

Oh I bet Frankie has freed Willy on numerous occasions. What happens in the back rooms at GM place stays there...

I want to see Mitch Eliot too . Benning went out of his way to make sure he was E draft protected. They like him.

Forgot about Brogan the bogan.

Must have missed Keilly and Eliot signings.

Cheers.

Why didn't they notice that back in 2007?

I literally have no idea who that is. Must have slept through that week. How come he didn’t get the 1 game bump?

That was before the global collapse of the real estate markets. At the time, nobody knew Vancouver was the last haven of ever increasing property values.

They were going to sign him but waited to protect him . He is young will be on the comets

me neither.
It seems he's a defensive Dman over-ager from Sarnia and a long shot to make the bigs.

(frank) it, I’m having another glass of wine.

Who wants to argue. Pick a topic, pick a side, I’ll take the opposite .

Chompsey , I’m looking at you...

Elite Prospects provides this scouting report:

A physical two-way defenceman that plays a structured competitive game. Smooth skating compliments his ability to control the puck at higher speeds. Displays a pretty hard shot and crisp tape-to-tape passing ability, but is actually relied on more in the defensive zone. Battles very hard for puck possession and sees the game in lanes. Very strong positionally and is poised in his own end. As he continues to grow, he will become a more well-rounded defenceman with each game, as he recognizes and learns from his mistakes. Can play long shifts.

I think I just flagged you the link made my margins wonky andbI went to hit quote but hit the flag on accident.

Funny career path. US college hockey, then to the OHL and signed as an over age FA.
