So is the pic protected in this draft only or also next draft?
This draft only.
Oh fuck. I can already see what happens.
The Canucks will trade the pick, it will remain protected this season, and then next year the Rags go off the rails and land in the lottery.....and the pick hits and McKenna is drafted with the pick we passed on.
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..

Mancini drafted 159th OA.
The whole thing is a joke.
We offloaded a Man to pacify a Mouse.
So typically Canuck.
And so many seem OK with it.....excusing the shit return on the adverse situation.
Very typically Canuck.
What would you have done differently? Keep him and let this fester? Trade Petey and hope a 33-34 year old Miller still drives play when we are hopefully in a more competitive window?
You mentioned in an earlier post that Miller controlled the situation.
Shades of the Kesler deal.
Mgmt made the best of a terrible situation they created

We're gonna need more assholes.
We always did. But Miller was an asshole to his mates as much as the other team. He could be one punch away from La La land. Schenn absolutely crunched him in the yap.

No matter what you think of the person. I will 100% trade the 32 year old with 5 years remaining, than the 26 year old. Just makes sense. Petey has out played Miller this season when you look at most metrics.
Who in the top-6 is gonna win faceoffs for the Canucks now so that the scoring lines can start with possession? That was one of those metrics you looked at right?

Not even winning the metric that most people like to harp on... PPG.
Only 2 of 6 seasons were PPG or greater. Now compare to someone like Rantanen who is better, more consistent and has a cup. They rightly walked away from that even with the cap about to grow.

I see a lot of Rags fans praising Mancini, sad to see the prospect go.
Not justifying anything, just reporting what I see.
I had never heard of the guy before today...
Hope Mancini is more Boom Boom than Bum Bum...
He’s soft as butter. Andrew Alberts 2.0
