We didn't have Suzuki yet and we don't know what Poehling's ceiling is. Imo, it's 2nd line centre at most. So yes, we needed to pick the guy that represented our best chance of finally getting a 1st line centre.

voilà.
they told us for years that you cannot trade for a 1C, that you have to draft them.
and when they had a chance to do so, they would have picked a dman at #3?!?
that was the good pick, just have to be patient. kk was the youngest player of the draft.

hihihi, different countries.

Completely agree. KK will be fine.

non, non , non. Laisse les partisans s'acharner sur un jeune de 19 ans après 15 matchs.

hey bud

He looks pretty good and would have filled a big need on the left side of the defense.

This being said, only time will tell if he would have been a better choice than Kotkaniemi.

Aren't you loving him right now? Everything points to him being a pretty good pick.
- Scabeh

Yeah he does, just wondering how you all heard about him in the East. ..

There's that thing called the internet.....

hey bud

good morning, my fine feathered friend.

Completely agree. KK will be fine.
- Scabeh

the real problem is that Habs needed to pick kk AND quinn hughes AND tkachuk

that's how good the past 10 years of drafting has been

good morning, my fine feathered friend.

what's up with my boy this morning?

i thought it was actually a pretty well played/tight game. no way 9 goals should have been scored. that was poopty goaltending. especially from Rask.
- DoubleDown

Who would have thought that the 2 worst players on the ice would have been Price and Rask?

Ah yes. Well. You see...

There's that thing called the internet.....
- Scabeh

Yeah... But people in the East don't normally get any Canucks related news or content

antibiotics for... respiratory problems?

Yeah... But people in the East don't normally get any Canucks related news or content
- kaptaan

Well we do hear about them from time to time. Especially when there's something to talk about... like with Petersson last season or Hughes this year. Of course the local media mostly focuses on the Habs.

And there are so many articles about every player nowadays, if you want information, it's there.

Would be great if there was some way, where people in the East, or anywhere in the world for that matter, could somehow find info on the Canucks. But how? Hmm....

It would help if the Canucks were relevant.

Are the Sedins still playing?

It makes me laugh every time a teacher tells me ''You surely know this example from Canada'', then expects me to talk about a 1905 disaster that happened a 40 hours drive away.
