Wilson is a beast
- VANTEL

Wrecking ball. It would be hard to not be a little gunshy with that guy on the ice

If only JV could emulate
- NewYorkNuck

That will never happen.



I do hope they upgrade on Motte this next year. Motte is a dynamo but too small. It is really sh1tty that Ferland is not able to go.

Rangers 1st for Ottawas 3rd + 5th?

If me I wouldnt as the Sens

That will never happen.

He cn't make himself 6'4 230 either. Wilson is a special player.

I have no issues with Motte. Better players to be had? Sure. But what he brings at his cost, can't complain too much.

Upgrades are more needed on D. But, I don't think we're going to see any free agent signings aside from players already on the roster. There's so many guys fighting for positions as is, no need to clog that up more.

That is correct he can't and that is why I am hoping they look at someone else.

I found this interesting tidbit from Friedman:

It says a lot that the Canucks were able to beat Minnesota without a top-form Jacob Markstrom. I’m learning my way through ex-NHLer (and current Rangers’ broadcaster) Steve Valiquette’s excellent Clear Sight Analytics. Kevin Fiala’s Game 1 was the first “clear shot” goal Markstrom allowed all season. He faced more than 500 such chances, the only goalie in the league who was perfect against more than 200 such opportunities. He allowed another Game 5, which means he was beaten by shots that hadn’t eluded him all season. If I’m Vancouver, I’m betting Markstrom figures it out.

He should be a first line winger next season. Sure, they would prefer a center but byfield is several notches below. Think he is a bit overrated personally
- CanuckDon

He’s a 2nd line winger on the Rags.

Disagree. He is a (frank)ing beast. Although, this draft class is definitely overrated
- CanuckDon

This class is loaded I disagree

TRADE: We've acquired 6'3 forward Greg Betzold from the @kc_mavericks in exchange for Austin Farley and the rights to Spencer Naas.

Canucks ECHL minor trade.

The difference with him and Gretz is you could see Gretz's game declining in his later years and OV is still an animal.


OV is still having fun.

It was more the Great Ones body (back) was slowing him down & merely made him mortal 😂

Power is there but control has been questionable. Someone is going to try to block a shot and get hurt. What is so difficult to follow.

I got ya but Blues could also get nailed too

Probably had a sore back from carrying the Kings all those years.

Over-hyped I can agree with!

All the online stuff, the need to sell air time on TV, magazines, radio does create this need to hype it up. Drives me crazy.

Remember 2012? That was just stupid. One of the most over-hyped bunch of poop ever.
- bloatedmosquito

NHL drafts tend to always get hyped the few drafts are overrated. Lately talent has gotten very deep over the years.

You think he is better than Hall?
Different styles I know but I don't see a guy who is going to change a team's fortunes.
- belcherbd

I think Laffy is better than Hall. On the Rags he a lot of talent to play with so he only adds to them.

- VANTEL

Lol 👍

St. Louis needs to fear our young guns.....and Fourth Line Loui is due some good luck

Fear our attack Blues.

He's not nearly as good as Hall was coming out of Junior.
- neem55

What are you basing this on? Lafreniere has better stats than Hall in his D/ D-1/ D-2 and he was junior player of the year in back to back seasons (just like Crosby)

Edit. Also more dominant in international play. What could your opinion be based on?

Motte is kind of an ideal 4th liner. Cheap, lots of energy, and he is the teams best statistical penalty killer.
