Re: The Rebuild...
Everyone should have been ok with losing since Christmas. They had a soft schedule and no injuries through 28 games and a lot of fans were bumping their gums about playoffs and then the wheels fell off when Bo got hurt.
I’ve resigned myself to three more seasons without playoffs after this year. I just want to see them incorporate good youngsters year after year and to rebuild that abortion of a defence. A top pick in this years draft would go a long way to fixing the D. Barring that Elmer had to draft BPA and avoid the blunders of 2014 and 2016

So, if not picking 1st, you wouldn't consider Bouchard?Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Fri Mar 30, 2018 1:12 pm Everyone should have been ok with losing since Christmas.

I admit to continuously changing my mind.
Usually come back to BPA. I guess

Re: The Rebuild...
It should always come back to best player available. It depends where Vancouver picks. I like Bouchard in the 5-7 area but not in the top 4.

Re: The Rebuild...
It's a fucking crap shoot after 4. Roll the dice, see what comes up on - Hughes, Boqvist, Bouchard, Wahlstrom, Dobson. Wherever we are picking between 5 and 10, it's pretty much guaranteed we are picking one of Hughes, Boqvist, Bouchard, Dobson or Smith. I still got a feeling it's gonna be Hughes.

Re: The Rebuild...
So the rebuild starts now. Sedins gone. Lots of cash.
Without signing anyone and assuming Gaudette and Pettersson are in Vancouver the roster may be:
Baertschi Horvat Boeser
Leipsic Gaudette Virtanen
Archibald Sutter Granlund
Eriksson Pettersson Gagner or Gaunce or Goldobin
In Utica
Gadjovich Dahlen Lind
Boucher Motte Jasek
They have lots of bodies. They could definitely use some help and grit on the LW so signing Eastvander, Reaves or drafting Tkachuk makes sense. Roster up front looks weak, but with lots of young potential. There could be Edmontonian-like growing pains with too much youth, but should be fun to watch.

Re: The Rebuild...
I very much suspect Doc is now going to get his guy.
I'm OK with it but lets not empty the bank on him.
Remember, he wants to be here. Home town discount?

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Term is important. Shorter is better, just in case “personality issues” flare up.

Re: The Rebuild...
I mean the end of the beginning. No plan could have expected the Sedins to retire five years early. Anyway I guess it’s only fair to reset Doc’s clock back. Reasonable to say 7 to 8 years to content?

Re: The Rebuild...
It's not so hard playing around with next years line-up with the two big holes created by the twins
Baertshi Horvat Boeser
Goldobin Gaudette Virtanen
Dahlen Petterson Eriksson
Gaunce Sutter Gagner
Archibald
Lipstick
Granlund
Boucher
Motte
Archibald, Boucher and Motte are bubble players. I think Granlund will be traded. Not sold on Lipstick yet. I really like Goldobin's play the last little while.

Re: The Rebuild...
If the choice for second line left wing is Goldobin or Leipsic there is definitely an argument to sign Eastvander

Re: The Rebuild...
If Goldobin can take what he's learned and keep trending in that direction, ( and yes, that means, don't you dare forget in the off season ),
I hope he'll be a part of the future.
Then again. I also hope he gets in touch with a very, very, very BIG acquaintance he may well have in Russia and says: C'mon Over!!

You don't think Benning and co won't go out in UFA and blow $12M-$14M? I do.RoyalDude wrote: ↑Mon Apr 02, 2018 2:22 pm It's not so hard playing around with next years line-up with the two big holes created by the twins

JVR and/or Evander Kane? While I think Kane has every potential to be a toxic character in the room, those two would certainly do wonders for our size up front.
Re: The Rebuild...
Here is another roster that may well be worth tweaking.
Of note, at least for me, one or two in the coaching area.

These lists are truly a depiction of an organization that never forgets.
I see a young Aquillini in there.
