Prefer the Hurricane/Panther strength in numbers methodology.

That's one reason I was not losing much sleep over Hughes.

Equivalence of 4 first rounders doesn’t hurt, either.

I think I would do Lekker and a 2nd for Wright. I don’t think Lekker has what it takes to make it, and even as a reclamation project, write is a better asset. (And Canadian) One thing for sure, Manny, RJ and the twins have had 3 years to assess Lekkerimaki. They know his strengths, weaknesses and p ...

I think it’s a fine list.

Toss in Zeev, and you’ve got a broad young nucleus to build a core.

If RJ could pull a dart er-diamond or two out of the later rounds…

Eddy wasn’t a surprise. It leaked last month that he’d make an appearance at the rink.

I would have no trouble with Burrows or (if he decided to make the jump) Bieksa among the group. Call me a homer, but these guys bring an infectious attitude and energy that would be plus.

Matthias Ohlund?

Hmm, I feel like there could be someone missing from that list…

From the interweb: The Vancouver Canucks have signed five players to one-year AHL contracts. Abbotsford Canucks General Manager Richard Seeley made the announcement via press release Per the Canucks’ release: “…the club has signed forwards Quinn Emerson and Ryan St. Louis, defencemen Tim Rego and Ga ...

At least we can thank him for giving up on Hronek. I thought that was a head scratcher at the time, and today see it as a massive blunder. And for not drafting Hughes Pretty sure Yzerman came on board after that draft. Holland was running a sinking ship well before Yzerman took over. They’re both t ...

The difference here is that Carlsson drives the offense, Gauthier rides shotgun and is more of a Laine-type scorer. Nobody would offer sheet Gauthier to the tune of $18M. According to Puckpedia, Cutter is offer sheet ineligible anyways. So he signs or sits, I'm assuming he didn't file for ...

Speaking of Chytil, RJ mentioned he had a conversation with ol’ Fil on Wednesday morning. Oh to be a fly on the wall during that chat.

I wonder if his game may be better suited on the wing.

I get the impression RJ is looking to acquire more picks, not deal them.

D Pettersson
A Raty
T Mueller

Is more the tier, I reckon.

Lansing had a decent freshman season (18 points in 40 games) on a veteran laden Quinnipiac team.

Hopefully he can play up in the lineup this year.

6’2” 190 lb centre, his +19 was second among forwards.

Not bad for a 7th round dart.

Assuming Malhotra survives the rebuild and is extended, there is a realistic chance one or more of the assistants will either be canned or head-hunted at some point.

I too don’t put much stock in the lack of big league experience. This is a rebuild from top to bottom.
