And you know what? I'm glad.

Based on what exactly?

Their names.

Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 7:36 pm 19/31 players drafted in the first round are Canadians. The Chef would be plastering this board with his rancid diapers if 19/31 were Americans. We’d never hear the end of it. I doubt he will comment on the strong showing of Canadian kids.

Miller
Hughes
Boeser
Demko
Motte
Gaudette
Myers

And more coming

Rathbone
Lockwood

More importantly how many B.C.’ers went in the first round? BC only produces expensive bums - Lucic, Alzner, Seabrook, Ladd etc

Vancouver Canucks@Canucks
We don't have a pick in the 1st Round of the 2020 #NHLDraft.
We have J.T. Miller.

He wants to stay on and see where this team can go more than he wants to cash in with detroit and suffer that fate.

It sure looks like Tanev is gone though.

Yeah, Tanev looks gone, kind of mixed on it but in some ways I agree, he was lucky last season (injury wise). One of those hard choices. Now if we do land OEL, it would make loosing Tanev easier to take.

Taking on Larsen's contract would be very much a deal for the now, not the long term future. Better win the cup in the next three years.

If we sign Tanev to a 5 year contract he'll be 35 years old when it's done.

If we trade for OEL and his contract he'll be 35 years old when it's done.

In that scenario we have a $3M difference in cap hit though.

You always omit critical details Doc.....why is that?

The $3M+ difference in salary is something we all know about and has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

Should I have also mentioned water is wet?

Mëds: "I shall have my revenge!"

Micky seemed to be suggesting that going with OEL over Tanev would shorten our window somehow...

What are the odds that Benning has deals completed already and was just waiting until draft day to announce them just to make the day more of an event when there is a bigger audience? That’s possible, right?
Or, on the other hand, with no draft picks today, maybe more crickets?
