The JTM tears! 😆

Miller obviously wasn’t going to play like that for the Canucks. That relationship was destroyed. Miller quit on his team. Clear as day now.

JTM with another goal.

Wonder how long before he’s all over the passengers on the Rangers 😆

Educated & in-bred to be arrogant. Dumb as feck.

💯 I'm just laughing at the slurpers butt hurt! 😆

My feelings on Boeser is I like him overall even though he is slow, but I don't like him at 8 mil. It sounds as if Aquilini is okay with 8 mil.

4/6m hardball but not realistic.
4/7m with the higher cap.

Rather trade him to keep retooling.

He can definitely score but that's all he can do and can't do anything himself. There's rolls for players like him forsure but he's not worth that at all.

Come on, there’s core players here, you don’t have to be one of the best players in the league to be a core player. EP40 just turned 26 signed long term. Hronek just turned 27 signed long term, Hughes obviously, DeBrusk just turned 28 signed long term, Chytil is 25 signed until the end of 2026/27, there’s some good players but they need bigger scoring wingers and another center.

They need EP to be a playmaker & true 1C. He’s neither let alone a game breaker. He has no more excuses & a clear runway to get real.

A lot of people here were very happy they drafted Lind
- VANTEL

I liked Lind but learned a lot about prospects that have his type of trajectories. Stats in Jr are misleading most of the time. Size & speed are fairly safe add hockey sense & you might have something. Cannot fix stupid.

Disgusting selfish quitter, fuck that guy!!

Yup, let's see how he handles things?

So many blunders over the Benning years. The McCann trade still bugs me.
- Pacificgem

JV started it all rolling even tbough I liked him. Problem was he was too stupid. I had Ehlers.

OJ an unneeded reach picking that high.
I had Sergachev or trade down for McAvoy.

Pod I liked but said Boldy all year since training camp. He fell & we passed.

Ehlers/McAvoy/Boldy
for
JV/OJ/Pod

Take any 2 outta of & still a huge win.

EP116 isn't built to handle a long season let alone the playoffs. He'll end up with a mystery ailment.
- VanHockeyGuy

A 1C is a playmaking play driver & leader. Is EP any of those?

Apparently it’s Pettersson time.


- Pacificgem

Benning provided the core here and JR and PA have failed miserably so far to round it all out. The pieces were all there lol


- LordHumungous

I think you are being a little hard on JR and PA

Horvat JTM 3 firsts 3 seconds 4 thirds for Hronek and maybe Marcus Pettersson sounds pretty fair.

Rangers getting pounded by Boston with big JTM in the lineup...


- LordHumungous

Great! Now that pick we squandered will be unprotected next year.☹️

He was cancelled. Non government workers don’t agree with what went down

Chytil, Mancini, O’Connor?

They don’t look that good 😆
- Bettmanhatesus

He got to hotel at 4 am. Cut him some slack for game one. Canucks lost their first also and EP40 was -2. JTM 2 goals -1

I thought last night he was noticeable an he still ended up -2.

It is going to be a big ask out of him to be a team leader.
- VANTEL

He’s not a true leader he has to produce points & be dangerous. Simple

We rely on prospects & drafting imo & behind on that front. So the cap space will be used hopefully weaponized.

Chytil, Mancini?
- VanHockeyGuy

Mancini will probably be an AHL player like Raty. From what I have read he is another Juulsen,

Pius Suter has more points than Chytil but sure well worth giving up JTM

You can blame Gillis for that. He left Benning a sh1t team of old men and NTC's.
- VANTEL

Then JB missed on far too many 1sts compounded everything. His effort to please FA sunk us further.

Oh great, Nightie is playing catchup, will check back later

This is why I really Hate Allvin trading the first round picks. McCann and Boeser were both drafted late first round, and we hand them out like Tic Tacs .
- VANTEL

You either get a legit NHLer in the 1st or trade the 1st for a key player long term. If a cup push that pick is lower but still gets a key piece.

Problem is the D was always a problem & has never gotten back to the ‘94 or ‘11 D.

4/6m hardball but not realistic.
4/7m with the higher cap.

- Nighthawk

The point is FA controls the team and that's his boy

He can definitely score but that's all he can do and can't do anything himself. There's rolls for players like him forsure but he's not worth that at all.

1 dimensional & a support role not core similar to Debrusk at least Debrusk has wheels.
