Draft and Develop, that's why.

Last season you saw players like Burmistrov, Rodin, Wierchoich.

Year before Chaput, Megna, Skille, Rendulic.

Signing cheap players aren't assets because they can't play in the league. The youth are better then these players already. Those players suck.

Beagle, Schaller, Roussel, Gagner, MDZ
show they can play and contribute in the league.(While not as much as some would place on them).

All good depth players in comparison to the above mentioned. Each one fits well on a winning team.

[quote=Pres.cup]Eriksson and his overpayment are in the same boat.

I agree but I hate Erikssons compete level and his IDGAF attitude

Even a broken clock is right twice a day?


I thinks we will be drafting top 10 even without tanking

Beagle can score seven in one year though not like Gaunce who has taken a career to score 5

If guance starts less then 15 percent in the defensive zone he'll get 5 goals.

It is funny because I was just thinking IDGAF what he thinks if he is sent down and was also laughing that you were unhappy with Beagle . So I guess I fit into the IDGAF category too

19th

This team is worse than last years. They might have some good stretches but after 82 games they're bottom five....guaranteed.

Not a chance in hell that the Beag's let's that happen. JB knows, this team has playoff caliber(4th lines) written all over it.

If Loui is scoring 25 then of course you would keep him over a guy like Roussel

If Loui scores 13 and is paid 6 mil while a guy like Roussel scores 10 at half the cost and stirs poop and is better defensively then who cares about those extra 3 goals Loui gets.

If Benning ices his 13 best forwards then there is no issue. Just don't ice a team according to salary commitment .

This is the exact same thing I have been saying about Gaunce v Beagle, except that Gaunce scored 4 in 37 games for one of the worst teams vs 7 in 79 games for the best team in hockey

You win Gaunce should be on the top line . Canucks need 13 players with Gaunces skill set .

With 10 x the population, even a small change in interest can have a huge impact. What's more impressive are the nordic countries with small populations graduating so many players to the NHL!

Addition by subtraction imo. Sedins stunk. That being said, we are surely a bottom ten team still.

If I'm wrong, I'm ok with that. Means they picked some good kids. But I seriously doubt they're better than last year and predict they'll have less points.
