It’s been a bit of a nightmare, for sure. She finally broke down and said she wants to go home, I’m an asshole for even pushing it that far. Time to go home!!

I think Vintage has an Air B & B you can rent while you look for a new cabana.

Ya total sense, man. 8 points (with 5 goals) in 19 games is a complete non-factor. Reeerpadrrp

It would be funnier if he had 20g, 30a playing 20+min and looked very good on the way to a cup final for the Canes

Be great if the Habs beat the Canes in the playoffs and Bergeron laid down $20 bucks at center ice for Waddell

Unfortunately, that won't happen, Montreal will miss and blame it on missing Weber, Price declining and Canes fans tossing $20 bills onto the ice everytime they play and yelling "Take It All Off Bergie!!!"

Now that Benning has gone all-in, sort of, I would be fine giving up a 1st and Rathbone(or something like that) for Chychrun. He is a very good defenseman.
- Reubenkincade

That’a reasonable price but the cap at this time won’t work.

The thought has crossed our mind. We sold our house in June for a lot so it’s all relative.
- LeftCoaster


It’s gotten worse since June…

But yeah, I know what you mean.

My wife is like moma bird at work for her 25-35 colleagues, trying to help them figure out how to get in the market. There are literally no condo’s for sale in the GVA for under $375k unless you are 55+.

Thumbs up


Though, we’re pretty booked up. Always room to help out a fellow Canuck fan though. Too bad Lefty is no longer a Canuck fan

I can't speak for Rubey but I am assuming if he has Chychrun then he has moved on from a 8 mil Hughes.

I don't think Canucks can keep all free agents over the next three years so I would ask who and when is it appropriate? I think Petey Hughes and Boeser are all safe but when would you move JTM?

With lack of centers being available , if he has a good year then it might be time at TDL (depending how Canucks are doing) . If Dovorak went for a first and a second what would JTM be worth?

From the Hockey Writers back in 2016:

Despite his obvious physical gifts, Chychrun has been usurped as the top draft-eligible defender in many eyes by Finnish sensation Olli Juolevi and OHL Defenseman of the Year Mikhail Sergachev. His hockey sense has been questioned by some, as he can skate himself into trouble with the puck and can subsequently be guilty of ill-advised giveaways. His durability is also a minor concern at this stage of his career, as he missed significant time in his rookie OHL season with an injury and then underwent major shoulder surgery last offseason.

Overall, Chychrun is the most physically dominant and complete defenseman available for the 2016 NHL Draft. As a result of being on the radar as a top prospect for so long, some developed a tendency to over analyze him and criticize minute aspects of his game, insignificant details on a player so talented. He’s one of the most talented defenders to come out of the OHL in the past few seasons, and is primed to make an impact in the NHL sooner rather than later as a rare teenage professional blueliner.

Looking at his numbers if they did a redraft he might now go #2

It should be fun watching them and Buffalo battle for 32nd spot.
If I was Benning, I would be seeing what it takes to get Chychrun out of Arizona.

- Reubenkincade

Hopefully it leads to AZ getting Bedard

I get what you are saying, but don't agree entirely. Both Boston and St. Louis have won cups without any of those types, Anaheim and San Jose have been very competitive, until recently.
Toronto, Buffalo and Edmonton have been pretty blah with some of those types of talent.

I 100% agree about the shitshow Arizona has been. They don't deserve a team.

Portland is a dump. They don’t deserve professional sports teams

McCavoy is on top for that year on D but Chych is 2 on my list, turned out to be a good year. Well, not for us, but for most teams thatbtook D. I really hope OJ steals a spot and just rocks it this year... but

It would be even better if they played and Kk got another unimportant overtime winner to beat the habs and non-factored Carolina to the finals

So do I.

The draft of 2016 in the early years had some great years but now is tapering off. Looking at Laine and PLD how they have cooled off . OJ Puljujarvi Jost Brown Keller have been meh. I like Stanley at 18 and Chych and McAvoy have been good.
