JB would have never drafted a player with character issues like that.

He would sure trade for him though.... (prusk shout out).

I found this interesting, and I think I’ve mentioned it before, since the 04/05 lockout only one team has won the Cup finishing outside the top five in their conference, the Los Angeles Kings...who did it twice in 2012 & 2014.

A very tell-tale sign when you’re team is ready to compete for a Stanley Cup.

I could turn that into 2-1sts and 2-2nds no 3rd, 4th, 5th, 2-7ths JB could do his best work.

For being pretty good at drafting, he doesn’t draft nearly enough

Northeastern playing at 1230 today.

NHL is messing up my euro hockey schedule.

I wonder if Persson is going to play some more games in the Swedish league with the WHL postponing its start. The postponed until January.

That kids good, he had a monster playoffs for them, and, he’s only just turned 20! The points will come if he keeps developing his game.
- Pacificgem

He's okay would never draft him third though . They drafted for position a let Highes sail on by.

Quality over quantity. You've got to give up something worth while to get draft picks. Giving up something would mean making NHL team worse.

I don't think Canucks have the right depth yet to earn extra picks.

Some properly signed contracts and the next compliment of young players taking over could yield a few more picks in the future.

If they don’t get Carey Price goaltending and play well as a team defensively they have no chance, but if they do, they can be a challenge for middling teams, which the Canadian Division is full of.
- Pacificgem

I think it will be close this year all teams

Hey...I only “cheer” for two teams, one in the West and one in the East. But I do love following the storylines of all the teams, a passionate hockey fan

True, still think he’s a quality player though. Just not a third overall player. That said, he’ll probably end up being the best center taken in that draft.

The Seattle Kraken now know when they will have their team set up as TSN’s Bob McKenzie reports that the expansion draft will be held on July 21, two days before the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. He also notes that NHL teams will have to turn in their protection rosters to the league by July 17, giving Seattle four days to get ready for their draft.

It’ll be interesting to see if they can instantly produce a competitive team like Vegas did. Another great NHL storyline

Just a flu huh? This is a classic example of why we're here today. Like the dumb fuk cowboys that came to the Okanagan during the summer and mocked the protocols, and jet ski'ed on the lakes during a huge wildfire while water bombers were trying to do their jobs. Do you not see a problem here? I wasn't as careful as I could have been, and paid a steep price which you would never understand unless you've walked in the shoes of the less fortunate ones.
- VanHockeyGuy


There is a price being paid one way or another by people, economically, socially and health wise.

I think the mask inside, better hygiene protocols, etc... are great and are something other cultures(Japan) that aren't as selfish as ours have done for generations.

I think we need to put more effort, time and money into caring for those sick in private care homes, considering that's where all the deaths outside of 2 have occurred.

I also wish they'd provide better stats, right now it's nigh on impossible to actually find the true numbers. Iceland has published some but most jurisdictions have not, in fact most jurisdictions obsuficate the data by rolling OD, suicides, car accidents etc... into covid deaths which prevents the actual numbers from being knows.

Not a denier, if they want to stop the pushback they should quit making it so difficult to find out the truths.

How are you doing? Seemed to kick the poop out of you for a few days.

If you are in a playoff run you are not trading players for picks at TDL.

You want picks then trade Boeser for a first and Jake for a second in the off season and sign OV for two years or Paxiorety

Well you said "you want picks" , I was just giving Lefty a scenario how JB could make use of 14 picks if he had them.

The best storyline will be when the puck finally drops on a normal 82 game season.

I think Seattle will be decent but I doubt they catch lightning in a bottle the way Vegas did. Circumstances are way different for them.

Teams will have learned from last time. (maybe)

Francis got Carolina a pretty good core of players through the draft. A smart player he was, drafts the same way.

Drafting takes time though.
