Yeah I was looking at some of the top draft picks by both Vancouver and Edmonton earlier today, and it was amazing how many first rounders I had never heard of. You are so right FD. The top GM are the ones who know how to find diamonds in the ruff below picks 1 through 10.shows you , NOT all number one pics pan out , but when you've been lucky as the Oil , to lotterize ( such a word lol ?? )
the overall number one pic multiple times , pretty sure most of us part time nhl managers would have sniped # 1 overall up ?
atleast i would have... the real talent , is finding the gems outta the top 10 players available below the #1 overall ,
regardless , i think the troubled Canadian teams will all pick up some talent this off season , anybody want a buy a Lucic ??
trade for Erikkson ?? ummm , no thanks.... ship em both to Florida with LOO

You bring the whine I'll bring the cheeseI think the Oilers have had more than enough 1st overall picks..... The Canucks have NEVER had one, our turn.
Feeling pretty good that your team is winning a few games aren’t you?You bring the whine I'll bring the cheese
There’s only two things that will help ease the pain this season , first , cheer on SFBC's Philadelphia Flyers to the Stanley Cup final , second , bust your balls when the Mapleleaf’s get knocked out in the first round !!
Until then enjoy the rest of the season I’m out
Yep about 50 yearsFeeling pretty good that your team is winning a few games aren’t you?
Been a long time!
Erickson made something happen with some hustle, there's hope yet
Yes, we still have 4 more years and 24 million$ in salary for him to regain his form and elicit chants of Louuuuu from the Rogers Center crowd! It was nice to see them beat the Bruins, but the flip side is the win had them leapfrog 3 other teams in the standings, which is not what they want.
I agree it’s the going rate for a d man going into his peak years.Disagree. Good signing. As a #4/5 guy that provides physicality, it is the going rate. The Canucks couldn't find something in that range for that type of player in the offseason. And they are BARE on the back end with him, let alone without him
Necessary evil. Sbisa V2.0
It's not our money, and they don't spend to the CAP so the dollars are moot. If it is 3@$3MM or 3@$4MM, who cares really.
Lastly, free agent Dmen aren't really drawn to Vancouver these days. So the Nucks HAVE to overpay or overterm guys to get them to come.
It is what it is...where's Tryamkin when we need him!
BSN WCO will be at the game tonight sitting in Aquilini's box....if one of the boys are there I will try and get down to the bottom of things for SFBC.
