Actually, 60% of them are caused by humans. Carelessness and arson.
- LeftCoaster

The percentage is actually a bit higher. A good friend in the Kelowna RCMP says they currently have 47 investigations ongoing into deliberate fire setting in the Okanagan regions. Many of them are believed to be a small group of eco-terrorists trying to push climate change agendas. Same stuff in California too. A few years back they caught a few of them trying to set fires by the Salmon Arm golf course after they had sprayed 9-10 of the Greens with roundup. Cost the course hundreds of thousands to repair the damages. Tough for the pro climate change folks to understand I know but many of these fires are deliberate.

What's your issue with Eklund? I'd be ecstatic if Benning is gifted him at 9.
- belcherbd

Drafting 5 wingers and 1 offensive defencemen and 1 C who is 5'8" who probably won't be an nhl centre

Doesn't really fit any team need at all.

Don't know the guys outside the top 2 picks but dam, if we walked away with Eklund and Morrow i'd be extremely happy.

The panic level on Donny and Dummy is outstanding today. It could give HB a run for it's money today

Revamped their defense, I thought they could use a big guy after losing Myers in the Ellis deal. Not bad

I don't think Flyers are finished . In fact I think they are just getting started.

Add Vancouver to another team to watch today. They're actively shopping Schmidt & Holtby. They are willing to trade the 9th overall pick. They are in the market for a top-six winger, and top-four D. Lots of exploring.

Bobby Clarke is still involved there, he loves making a big splash.

Big price, but you're getting a big RHD who's physical and can put up points. Should look better now that he escaped Buffalo

Sounds like the picks are the 13th overall this year and a 2nd…. Pretty solid return. Hagg ain’t nothing to sneeze at

What did he put down for our picks?
- Retinalz


So, he didn’t go through pick by pick on the podcast, but there was some interesting stuff (I assume the actual list is in the Athletic article).

Predicting Eklund will go much higher than most lists - has him going #3 to Anaheim.

If he were rating players on pure potential he has Kent Johnson as #1, Hughes #2 and Power #3.

Some other good tidbits on late 1st and later round guys.

Hagg is good for the 3rd pair
