Hank Balling: Trading the 1st Overall Pick: Greetings from the Overlook Hotel

Ya, pretty sure the Canucks decline that. Trading 2 current top 6 forwards (one who's a rookie) plus a future top prospect for one top 3/6 forward... don't think that'd go over well.

The magic beans are flying. Nice read Hank

I have no interest in Tanner Pearson. Nucks can keep him if they want. That was for salary purposes

Thanks. I'm looking forward to reading the 1oa trade proposals

You're funny, canucks and ducks aren't doing either trade.

Here are some suggestions that Paul Hamilton posted on Channel 2's website yesterday. gerbe, you're going to LOVE it.

"Seattle is drafting second overall, and if I were Adams, I’d considering switching spots with the Kraken if they would to agree to take Kyle Okposo, Cody Eakin or Colin Miller in the expansion draft. Buffalo could then take the best forward in the draft, which is Matty Beniers, who, like Power, played at Michigan last season."

"Columbus has promised Patrik Laine that they would acquire a No. 1 center. If the Sabres knew that they could sign Jones, why not look for Jones, goalie Elvis Merzlikins, and the fifth overall pick in this year’s draft for Eichel?"

This will never happen Crooked Broadary. You've never been proven right and will make up a million excuses like every other one of your terrible takes through the years. Your track record on here blows. What if Vegas takes out the best team in the last 20 years (according to you) that you already have slotted to win multiple cups? You start compiling your list of excuses yet?

Curious, is this a movie reference or something? Or just another really lame nickname you’ve made up.

Serious ballin' here Hank
