Not so fast guys and now MacKinnon has left the game.

I would re-sign Douglas for league min and sign McCarron, that 4th line would keep teams honest. Lekkerimaki might even be able to finish a game then.

Canes in 5
Avs in 7

Ryan Kesler as community relations expert?

If the players burned Foote in their exit interviews, then I would be in favour of his dismissal. Hopefully this means they will pass on Maholtra at 3, assuming Manny is promoted.

If they want Jr, use the Minny pick and some mi rounders to move up to 5 - 7 and take him then.

Would you pick him at third Donny?

Is Carels a RD?

I would sign Buium for a long term deal this off season, hopefully 8 x 7m but no more than to 8 x 8m.

If they fall into Canucks lap, sure but I wouldn’t give up too many assets to pick them both.

If the Canucks are truly committed to a rebuild, I would try to trade Demko. I would even be willing to retain on it, could help getting a decent return. It would not be an ideal situation but might be the best, bad move they could make in regards to their G situation.

A GM's self-preservation termination.

Yeah, apparently K had quite the end of season interview with the GM too

Canucks to hold press conference at 1 pm PST.

Oilers fire Knobhead

It’s a glorious morning. Canucks pick will be 24th unless Anaheim knock out Vegas.

So is the new management group official yet?
