Ya, what an idiot, thinking players with size will make the Canucks, look how fantastic the team has been with the small and/or soft players.

I think after all these years Lefty finally got something right suggesting Hughes and Hronek are the skilled players now time for size and stay home D with a touch of toughness.

This is why I want Shimashev if they do keep the pick.

Tocchet knows the Canucks need size in order to compete in the Western Conference, he's said so much publicly. I personally think Edmonton is as close as they've ever been to contending for a Cup in the McDavid era, look at how big their defense is now, it's sizable. Are they exceptionally talented or gonna punch your lights out, no, but they're gonna lean on you and you're gonna be tired before the games over. The Canucks desperately need to get bigger.

Without Myers this is a midget AAA size defensive group.

There are 5 or six players that I like in that range, one or 2 might even be available when Canucks pick at 17th....oh wait.

If the Canucks were smart they'd be trading Demko to a team like Buffalo that's on the verge of competing for a big young dman and a young goalie.

Yep. And Miller to the Bruins who need a center asap.

Absolutely.

Think about it, with the size on this team Nil's b1tch will get punished every time he goes near the net, and no one other than the ref's to protect him. He's an LTIR ticket.

This is the 6th time in 5 years that Alex Galchenyuk has been traded:
-Jun. 15, 2018: MTL to ARI
-Jun. 29, 2019: ARI to PIT
-Feb. 10, 2020: PIT to MIN
-Feb. 13, 2021: OTT to CAR

He was mostly in AHL last year. He scored the OT winner in Abby when I went to see them.

If the Canucks were smart they'd be trading Demko, Hughes, Miller, Petterson and anyone else who might fetch a decent return, to a team like Buffalo that's on the verge of competing for a big young dman and a young goalie.
- LeftCoaster

Agree

Rick Dhaliwal stirring poop up.

Saying Montreal looking to trade down and Allvin was talking about moving up. Saying Vancouver has a lot of interest in Michkov and have already interviewed him. Canucks also like Simashev but they really love Danielson and think they have him much higher than a lot of other teams.

I don't know who the WHL scout is but Jett Woo, Kole Lind, Jake Virtanen, Hunter Shinkaruk the Canucks last few WHL first and second round picks.


Also Canucks be looking at Chris Tanev coming back.
- manvanfan

I saw this segment. He never claimed Canucks looking at Tanev. RickD said he wants them to consider bringing him back.

Agree

A+ for effort...it ain't happening though shorty.

- boonerbuck

Tanev will be a Leaf next year playing on a one mil a year contract and sleeping beside John Tavares at center ice in ther ML pajamas.

Doing coke.

Barney Rubble is busy making deals in Nashville, does Allvin find a fit?

Avs are noticeably absent

Wagner going back to their bases after striking a deal. Was all about money as they had no new contract which was given to the Chechnya PMC instead. Prigozhin would have lost his army making him powerless. No one else supported that lunatic. Not an "uprising".

One time when the Red Wings played the Colorado Avalanche, Joe Sakic skated by the Red Wings’ bench, and Sean Avery wouldn’t let the chance slip. Avery, known for his trash talking, stood up and yelled, ”Hey, Sakic!” But he was immediately pulled back down as Brett Hull grabbed him by the back of his sweater and yanked him down on the bench.

Brett Hull then looked Avery in the eyes and said, ”You are not allowed to speak to Mr. Sakic.”

Sean Avery wasn’t a veteran at the moment, and he had no choice but to obey Brett Hull, and after his words to Avery, every other guy on the Red Wings bench nodded their heads to show they agreed on what just had happened.

Throwback to the 2012 NHL draft when Jay Feaster moved the Flames 14th pick for the 21st pick and a 2nd rounder

Players taken between picks 14-20:

Andrei Vasilevskiy
Tom Wilson
Tomas Hertl
Teuvo Teravainen

The Flames selected Mark Jankowski and Patrick Sieloff with their picks.
