I am. Huge fan.
 
Not a fan of giving up JVR+. God knew what the "+" was.

It's time to fire the clown.

Teams arriving on the Draft floor and heavy speculation on the Canucks shifting focus in quest to acquire 1st pick overall.

 
Friedman originally reported 6th Overall+Shinkaruk+Roster Player. Pretty decent. I'm a fan of Shinkaruk.

 

[snipezo]

not sure about giving up hunter. id rather do 6th and 24th +

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Also heard all the cap space that the Canucks freed so far is to sign Miller. Dunno his interest in playing for a rebuilder again.

 

[Mr.Baller]

I'm also hoping that Marc Bergevin signs Paul Stastny ! He would be a huge addition for us ...
 
It should be an interesting night at the draft ... I'm pretty sure VAN are trying really hard to get the #1 pick right now

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Vancouver needs a new identity. I'd honestly look into moving the Sedins in the near future.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Dreger is reporting 6th+24th+Shinkaruk.

Vancouver needs a new identity. I'd honestly look into moving the Sedins in the near future.

FO won't even let it happen. I'm sure benning's would pull the trigger ASAP.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Gotta love the teams like us who value people in suits over winning.

 

[Teagz]

Is this draft any good?

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Decent. Not overwhelming like last year's or next.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

We found our next Sundin.

 

[Teagz]

Neal to Nashville

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

Some nice moves being made so far

 

[Mobruler]

I turn on the NHL draft just now and there's no scroll bar at the bottom informing you of who's been taken, no number of which pick they're on when "the pick is in", and no type of analysis of available prospects like a "best available" list, just tweets from people that I don't care about.  This is very viewer unfriendly.  The NHL is it's own worst enemy by conducting business like it's 1995.  Get with the times.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

The TSN broadcast is just fine. 

 

[Mobruler]

The Wings selected a guy from a city I used to live in, so that must be a great pick.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Don't like the return for Neal at all.
