they'll probably trade Subban asap
Brisebois is already looking like a bust
the fact that Pedan is that high is sad! i can't imagine he'll amount to much, but who knows
Carl Neill could be a pro in a few years
Zhukenov idk, will prob end up in the KHL
Cassels can't skate, and is already looking like a complete bust
Grenier is a career AHLer
think Olson is the only guy below that i've ever heard anything good about, but for him to be that low probably means he actually sucks

the Comets are about as bad as the Canucks in the AHL
only a top-2 pick would probably provide immediate help

but we're supposed to ecstatic because Gaudette & Lockwood have exceeded minimal expectations, and might now project as worthwhile role players (though not by next season), hooray!

Oh good, we get the Laffs again. They just waited for the right time to fire Hitch.

Boucher (2), Skille & Chaput with 4 of #Canucks 9 shots in first period. Best scoring chance, too

Can anybody link me to a good article speculating around what's going to happen wrt the Vegas expansion draft? Also a little hazy on the eligibility rules surrounding an expansion draft, if anyone can fill me in a bit

it's probably not worth really digging into until after the trade deadline though, as many teams will make trades based on having to risk players losing good players for nothing

The annoying part about this is that if a review takes 9 minutes, there's no way it's conclusive enough to overturn the call on the ice and that should be realized. Replay review should move away from "let's try to go frame by frame and determine which molecule was offside" and back to "let's correct egregious mistakes". Limit replay review to one minute, and if you can't find an overturn in 1 minute, it's not an egregious mistake.

RIPizza Pizza (stolen from the internet)

at least he didn't have to see the end of the streak i guess

this mean anything in particular for the WANGZ?
his wife & kids committed to the whole SPORTZ thing, or might they sell?
that new stadium already under construction or no?

anyway, he seemed like a good guy that was well-liked by all his players
this is probably the lowest point for the franchise since before-Yzerman tbh

Burakovsky sustained a broken hand blocking a shot (lol) last game, so he's likely out for a month or more. Get Vrana in there, his possession numbers were stupid good in limited action, and he isn't afraid to shoot the puck.
