Nhl lottery is totaly rigged called chicago months ago got make sure US franchises stay relevant NHL dont care about the canucks at all never will Bettman would move them to US i a red hot minute
Canuck fan here with Olli Juoelvi/Matthew Tkachuk PTSD – please select best player available regardless of position
Those dman wont be there by the time the canucks pick we may get lucky and get one of the forwards that drops doesnt matter with there cap situation and the contracts were stuck with Vans going to be screwed for at least 4 to 5 years
Michael Petit was a pretty good pick at 11 and a good D man. But again the typical history of the Vancouver drafting cycle, draft a decent guy and make a stupid trade of a prospect for an old washed up player ( Willie Huber) Just go to Hockey DB and you can see the whole history of Vancouver's prospect trades and who they traded for. Very few success and almost always for an older less useful player. Its both impatience and poor scouting of the guy they want back in the trade. Again go to Hockey DB look up the drafts and then their trades and you'll see how shockingly bad the franchise has been at holding on to and developing players.
Blackhawk are concrete proof that tanking intentionally really really does pay off
Canucks what a dumb ass organization. $50000 dollar fine wow no wonder that team is in the position they are.
11th overall is a good spot
The "best player available" argument is absurd after the obviously top picks because the players are so young it's hard to imagine how they'll develop. There's a lot of crossing fingers and praying the players develop into great players. Therefore if you have a later or mid round pick you should always draft a winger. Listen. You need to score goals to win games and they love to play defense.
Anze kopitar going 11th still bothers me. Right after canucks picked 10th of course.
There’s a reason 87% of people bet on Bedard going to Chicago… was rigged and everyone knew it
If this Sandin-Pellikka can be a Sergei Zubov, the Canucks would have been fortunate to be able to draft him to play with Hughes, though I feel Reinbacher's size makes him more appealing to me, assuming either of them would still be around by the time the Canucks draft (still upset that they won all those harmful games down the stretch to damage their drafting position).
As for the Leafs, when you have three players raking in 10 millions plus, you have no cap space remaining to assemble a more complete team that can win in the playoffs. The Kraken may not win the Cup, but they are showing the league how an under-talented but very balanced team can be very dangerous in the playoffs.
Nylander will end up in Vancouver. It’s destiny
Miller, Kuzmenko the 11th pick plus Hooglander.
Craig Button is like the biggest, walking encyclopedia of hockey knowledge in all of sports media. He can instantly come up with player names and dates faster than even google.
Only 50k fine for having an on ice session 🤔 so $1 mil for 20 days in a month? Time for management to pay up and hold on ice sessions for 3 months and get the team ready for next year 😅
Craig needs a Shure SM7B.
Canucks would have 3 cups now if they drafted Kopitar. Everyone and their dog had him as the #1 European Skater 🙁
Draft Was Rigged.
Matthews, Marner and the others on TO play at 100% all season and have no extra gear to kick in for the playoffs. That's what happened to Boston against Florida, they simply couldn't play harder like most teams do in the playoffs. I believe that's the issue with those Leafs too.
Buttman strikes again. Gary loves to see his original American teams do well.
They didn't drop to 12th, that's a win for this team 🙄
That was the FUNNIEST MOST AWKWARD MOMENT EVER. ON THIS SHOWWW😂😂😂😂 at 9:48
To Button’s comments about the Leafs’ 3–0 deficit in their 2023 second-round playoff series, I see a come back from such a deficit as very unlikely. Unless the core four can pick up their scoring game on Wednesday Pacific Time, I see the break up of such core as necessary.
The Canucks, having finished outside the bottom-10 on points during the regular season, were unlikely to get to draft first overall. What IMO they need more than Bedard is quality d-men. Heck, even the Habs could’ve used Bedard more than the Canucks because the Habs struggled to score in so many games.
The Blackhawks’, in next month’s Entry Draft, getting to draft first, overall is controversial given the coverup of allegations of sexual abuse brought forward by Kyle Beach about 1-time video coach, Bradley Aldrich. Yet drafting Connor Bedard doesn’t mean necessarily getting a player who ends up, converting his major-junior experience into solid NHL experience. I say more in the next paragraph about Doug Gilmour and Nail Yakupov.
Sometime in the 1980s, the St. Louis Blues drafted Gilmour rather low, making him a draft steal when he had proven, however many sceptics that he’d ever make an impact on an NHL roster, so wrong. Yakupov nonetheless was drafted number one in his draft year but after six seasons in the NHL struggled to find a team that would sign him, prompting him to take his talent back home.
Canucks Management: Ok, ok, We need to do something different. Lets use our first round pick on that right shot defenseman from Russia. It doesn't matter of he lost his legs in Ukraine!
Doesn't that seem more accurate of what the Canucks will do!? 😂😅😊
Kopitar was so dominant for so many years. He's still putting up points plus he's already won two Cups…
He mustn't be high on Dmitri Simashev? Or was he only selecting right handed defenseman.
Blud doesnt know Dimitri Simashev 😳
Funny thing about that 88 draft was the guy at 16 who never played a game in the NHL.
Kevin Cheveldayoff
Lmao can you imagine..a guy being brought in as a hockey expert..an old school guy who's been around the block and knows what he's talking about… to tell you and me who's got the skill and balls to be an NHLer..who's better than who..and this guy shows up in a hot pink polo🙄 This has to be some Canada stuff cuz thats downright disgraceful🤦♂
