meh.

Best case scenario, Seattle grabs him (unlikely i know).
Next best is that he plays like he did near the end of the year last season, is the good vet goalie to help Demko develop, trade him at the TDL.

Boston looks like they might need a goalie. I'd entertain a trade for Debrusk for Holtby.

A lot of these players named waited 7-10 years before they got their first cup.

I think Hedman Stamkos were 9 or 10
Keith was 7 or 8
If you check the list almost all of them played more than a half dozen years . Pettersson has played 2.5 Hughes 2 Hoglander 1 Demko

Takes time & patience & the core to be built. All is on the upswing. No point us getting to worked up but just enjoy the journey.

I'm not anyone's alt I am just a new guy. I guess there has been so much division and paranoia in here that new people are automatically considered an alt, cause why would any sane person decide to come in here during these crazy times.
Paranoia & such in here lol

When you first came on were you accused of being an alt?

He is a list of who TB has drafted since 2014 and Canucks. Check and see how many draft picks the TB gurus have drafted and have playing for their team compared to what Benning has drafted and play for the team since he was signed in 2014.

Spoiler alert : It is not even close .

But... our core was drafted by us, theirs was drafted by them. They justbhave been drafting well for a much longer time.

It takes about 1 minute to look . TB maybe has one or two players drafted since then and I think Nolan Foote and Cirelli are the only one currently playing

i've come to relish cheering for the perennial losers.
We'll soon be reaching Chicago Cubs territory.


Hey, i know we've discussed conspiracy theories involving Betman in the past, how come we've never taken things to the logical conclusaion and invoked a 'curse'?
I'd like to start a Mark Messier curse...as long as the Moose is alive, the Canucks will never hoist the SC!

Something like that. They have been not so good at drafting the last 7 years but were very good when they stunk at hockey. Now it is reverse .

Only Cirelli & Point stand out from drafted up to 5 & 6 years ago. The rest is pretty nothing.

Dude I have no enemies and no alterior motives, just here for the banter.

Ooh another alt, so edgy!

Sounds about right.

i'm not clear on the context or what this is referring to though?

TB drafted better players?

Or are we trying to find the elusive recipe for winning the cup again?

I was originally going to just do the first two rounds only .

Not an alt? My bad, we get a lot of guys making alt accounts to make fun of posters.
