6 foor 4, 212lb Latvian goalie.

have not heard of him before.

The kind of dude who saves 59 out of 61 shots against Team Canada but then proceeds to put up mediocre AHL stats.

But now there's a penalty if we win or don't win.

So it’s more exciting? How much you want to bet that 2021 is the first time in franchise history that the Canucks win the lottery?

All the Benning backers don't seem to be around either.

I’m here....and definitely less of a supporter and seems dumb. I think he hopes for a lindholm in Calgary type of thing. I hate this trade FYI 😫

Don’t mind the player, but THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS WORRIED ABOUT. I think it’s tough to argue against the fact that Jim Benning is the worst GM in the league.

I can't argue that.

He was a star for Latvia at the u18s.

I would have preferred Washkurak or Doyle taken before and after that pick.

Can never have enough goalies?

ya I remember seeing him, he was pretty good.

I was fine with JB for his drafting, but now he's killing his own strengths... time for him to leave.

How much does FA read the papers? How mad is he gonna be about the PR for this?

This has been the drum I’ve been beating on.

His main strength is drafting so he should value picks like gold.

She's waiting for the draft to end, no point in blogging when there's still picks being announced.

Depends on if it can be buried behind a decent trade or free agent signing.

If we get Barrie and Ferland or Panarin, maybe the Miller signing doesn’t look so bad.

*not holding my breath.

I can't see him trading for Barrie unless Colorado is cool with Tanev + Virtanen

Jimbo will hold off on trading more picks after the backlash from the Miller deal.

I expect him to pursue 2 of Gardiner or Myers.

People wanted BPA?
We drafted BPA.

People wanted us to acquire players through trades over free agency?
