Now you know why Aquilini has Linden to deliver the bad news.

Ty Carol

Thanks Carol!
It's been fun watching some of the prospects and I'm really looking forward to the Sweden vs USA game.

Thank you Carol for another good blog

Zadina is looking like a very nice player. I think his stock will rise between now and Draft day.
I am a little concerned that Petterson hasn't really looked good 5v5 and can only up his game during PP.
As I have been told many times on here that is not a good thing.😁

I knew I would end up not liking Linden when he took the job.

Guy knows more about bikes and record times for grouse grind than he does the business side of hockey.

Say what?
I honestly haven't noticed that. I think you might be listening to Pronman too much.He hated the pick.

Go Sweden! I`m pretty happy with Linden`s responses. Vanek and EG will be out of here! Great coverage of both, as usual, Carol!

Billionaires aren't dumb, put a face that people can't hate as the head of the thing you get the most crap for. I'm sure Terry Fox would be the President of the Canucks if Aquilini could have it that way.

Too close to the old core on the team, it clouds his judgement. We need someone NOT tied to the team's past.

What did Neely know?
NHLPA was of no experience?

Linden said they would look to extend Boeser this Summer. What do you think his comparables will be? I'm thinking something along the line of the Pastrnak contract in Boston would make sense (6 years, $40M)

IF BB keeps up his first half pace in the second half it’s going to be interresting if Canucks offer long term over short term because the ask will be very high at 42 goals and 80 points. Like a here’s the money for market value now but prove it again if you want it at long term. Risk being goes higher then that if he does better.

My Daughter said it was 38C the other day.

Pronman is an idiot...so am I.
It was a little jab at a few posters that keep telling me that a player who gets lots of points on PP aren't worth much, therefore shouldn't be picked by us.
Petterson will be a fine player for us in a couple years.

If there is one thing we all know, it’s that our PP is perfect and can’t handle another star playmaker.

"On September 25, 2007, Neely was appointed Vice President of the Boston Bruins, and was named President of the team on June 16, 2010."

It appears Neely had 3 years of being Vice President to lean on...

You are claiming I have criticized Peterson’s 5v5 production? Really?

No that is not what I am claiming, I am claiming that you are one of the guys arguing about not selecting certain players, because their point production was was around 50% on PP.
