Wake up Dude, that's not some kind of fantastic haul for 3 years worth of drafts on a garbage team.
Jets - 2 current NHL'ers on your list. One is a 2nd overall
Ducks - 1 current NHLer on your list - Ritchie sure gone quiet
leaves - 3 current NHL'ers on your list - one is a first overall. Marner 4th. Nylander is on the trade block
Flames - 2 current NHLers on your list - Bennett is looking awful

Craig Button was raving about Boeser, Demko, Juolevi and Gaudette yesterday. Says all 4 should be on his next top 50 prospects list. Tryamkin and Brisebios? Wake the fuck up Nucklefarm

The same Button that had Shinkaruk as our 3rd best prospect last season? How's Tate Olson (4th) these days?

The same Button that loves Dylan Strome and Nylander?

Let's revisit this in a couple IslandFarms. When Boeser, Juolevi, Gaudette, Brisebios, Demko, Tryamkin, Virtanen are all rockin a Nuck jersey slayin it. In the mean time sit back and chillax

Out of Gillis' 13 - 1st and 2nd round picks only Horvat, Gaunce are playing in the NHL right now. And Bubbles and yours favourite - Gillis has been blacklisted for how long now? 3 years. Oh the legacy

Gillis - 6 drafts
Benning - 3 drafts

It isn't rocket science here to realize which GM will win this race

I don't think Elmer gets a 4th draft. Tonight the free fall continues.

The BlobbyIN dynamic duo still shittin' der drawers over the Granlund, Baertschi and Lack trade

Favourite Canuck history - Gillis turning our 10th overall pick into Zack the Coke Assassian Kassian. Gold Jerry, GOLD!

I think there will be an uproar if Elmer has another deadline like the last one. It seems the cheque book has been taken away by the Aquilinis. I'm curious as to the spin the guzzlers will put on his dismissal at the end of the year.

The crowd at Rogers Arena will never "Fire Benning" the way they "Fired Gillis" all in in perfect harmony until Gillis had to leave the booth

I don't know Bubbles you could go try and start up the chant yourself but that could lead yo to a dismissal from the premises in fact, maybe even a free nights lodgings at the nearest rubber room

Anyhow Bubbles go check out the Draft Prospect thread at your favourite place in the world Hockeysfuture. The hottest topic right now right at the top - Adam Gaudette. 2 goals last night. They say he's been the best player in the NCAA since the beginning of December

Craig Button - was drooooooling over Canucks prospect - Gaudette, on 1040 yesterday!!! While he was droooling over Boeser, Juolevi and Demko. He refered to Juolevi as very cagey. Sounds like the next Teppo Numinnien in my books!
