Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
with the 66th pick the canucks select Nikita Tryamkinis a 6-foot-7 220lb, defence man from Russia doesn't speak much english. Sergei Chibisov is translating his and has 2 years left on his KHL contract. he said he wants to be the next big Russian in Vancouver.
This has been a fun draft to follow. Lots of moving and shaking and nothing Benning has done so far has made me scratch my head or say the proverbial "Oh well, In Gillis we Trust".
Botchford reported that demko needs 2 hip surgeries....apparently he wants to do em next year and wants to play this year first and feel it out because he doesn't wanna miss the first couple months of the season despite the fact that he'll inevitably have to do the procedure anyway.
Terrible decision imo, might as well get surgery over and done with now rather than play on it and probably make it worse
You guys who were shitting on McCann pick over the 'it is what it is' comment are stupid. How mature were your media answers when you were 17 years old?
We are now loaded with centres for now and the future. holy smokes . Henrik bonino vey Richardson Matthias gaunce horvat McCann Lain cassel Schroeder lol..
hmm considering how boston is right up against the cap(maybe even over?)
maybe we can lowball loui erikkson off them for cheap since he was subpar last year.
and plus hes magic with the sedins too
its funny how we all know how poorly the canucks have drafted for a generation, yet we all expect all our new draft picks to be difference makers.
from the rep that Benning has as a scout and assisitant GM I have to see hopefully a lot more potential then the past. It's a new start for the Canucks in a way and everyone is excited which is a big part of it as well.

Benning is doing what Gillis failed to do properly: A reset.
This GM is rebooting the franchise in the right way to build a Stanley Cup contender.
-build four lines that have size, speed, and can play physical. -add more scoring to this team and improve the defence to follow the LA Kings model.
can only do a reboot if the owners allow it, which they didnt allow gillis to do. seems with kesler telling the team he wouldnt come to camp it spelt it on the wall for the aqualinis, and they agreed to a rebuil
