Imagine if Pittsburgh had taken Toews instead of Staal.

10 cups.

He did draft/assemble one of the best cores in last couple decades, but sure. Meh.

But he is a Senior Advisor and Pro Scout here. Another veteran voice in the room, but amateur scouting and drafting are not his buttons to press here I believe.

He'll take over that department in due time.

Then he will be too old.

Canucks are oh so close to being contenders, just need a few tweaks to the roster

Miller=MacKinnon
Bo=Kadri
Pouty=Rantanen
Boeser=Landeskog
Nils =Newhook
Podkolzin=Lehkonen
Dickinson=Helm
Demko>Kuemper
Hughes =Girard
OEL=E. Johnson
Myers=Manson
Poolman=J. Johnson
2022 15th OA= Byram

A couple 3rd line players and another defenseman and this team is ready to compete for the Cup.

So……Reuby is Jim Benning with multiple personality disorder?

Then he will be too old.

JR?

I love this.
Even if untrue, it makes for good drama.
Do the Habs go the safe route or gamble again like they did with Kotktiemi.

….And Wickenheiser (over Savard)

A lot of people talked about Nolan Patrick going first overall till NJ was rumoured to be picking Hischier last minute and did. Flyers didn't want Patrick but stupid GM did.
Maybe Wright is this years Patrick and ends up going 4th or 5th or something.

…or this year’s Podkolzin?

McMichael, 1st 2nd, Oriro (stud rhd)

Nice spelling by this twitter user on that one.

I didn't get a "stud" report from an old schoolmate/teammate who I talked to last week, who knows the team and game very well. I didn't ask about Iorio I asked whether Nychuk was worth an AHL or NHL contract and he had just brought up how much Nychuk improved this year which was good because after losing Schneider they needed someone to really step up in a big way with how poor the rest of the D played this year.

Also he thought Nychuk was most likely going to the ECHL next season somewhere.

But he is a Senior Advisor and Pro Scout here. Another veteran voice in the room, but amateur scouting and drafting are not his buttons to press here I believe.

He's staying in Florida, literally the opposite side of the NHL map, people getting too excited or upset about this are overreacting.

Scott Young is the more significant hire.

I know….. I’m dating myself on that one , although I was pretty young.

Lefty says any moron can pick a good player inside the top 5.

Chicago won after he was demoted then fired. Florida is now one of the best teams in the league after he was fired.

No to Lunkhead, this guy will be acceptable, as part of the package

I know he is big, so that might offend some of you.

Some will be disappointed with the return for JTM.
They would rather the Benning way and lose him next off-season, for no return.
