20-21 Season Tank Thread (MOD WARNING IN OP)

[M2Beezy]

There's a catch, Catch-22, apparently FA and Benning don't want to trade pending UFAs because they don't want the young players to experience a losing environment...

So like 5D chess!! My goodness this goes DEEP

Who are the top 3 Forwards in the draft this year?

Kent Johnson, quick hands and shifty feet, he's a creative playmaker, plays like Marner

Matthew Beniers , not a flashy player, but is good at everything, no holes in his game, fast skater, elite playmaking down low, all and all a complete player

William Eklund, Strong on his skates, highest hockey IQ in the draft, knows how to get free, reads the play insane, plays like Zetterberg

It's very close though, you can add a few other players in their spot, but this is my top 3 for forwards

This year Winning the lottery doesn't matter. Unless of course you are smart and trade down anywhere in the top 5 for even more picks.

Jim Benning will *offer* additional picks to trade down.

Let's say if we win the lottery, should we take Luke Hughes or Owen Power?

 

[Didalee Hed]

That’s about either loss 9 or 10 out of the available 9 or 10 left before they’re eliminated. So it’s down to 8 or 9ish? It’s so close.

You obviously take the guy who is literally named Power.

Owen Power for our future captain!

We might lose the next 2 games vs Toronto as well...

God this team is pathetic. Why can’t Aquaman just fire him now before he does anymore damage

You're expecting those bad contracts to sign themselves, and our draft picks magically disappear without anyone pissing them away?

Surely you jest.

Hell right you take a guy named max power

I'm at the point now, where fully embracing 'the tank' has almost nothing to do with the draft lottery or increasing our odds of winning the first overall pick.

Nope, a full on tank will force the owner to do what he should have done two seasons ago....bring out the broom and clean out the organization from top to bottom.

Just going into next season with a new voice in the executive booth and new faces and ideas behind the bench will make 'the tank' worthwhile. It'll be like a breath fresh air, after the stale, stagnant odor of the last 3-4 seasons.

Side note-

“MaxPower” was the absolute worst easports nhl online player like ever. I played that guy a hundred times in the nhl 2001-2003ish era in those ea lobbies and some side called modemsports. I had to play down just to keep that guy from making me feel bad about the score. But that f***er only ever once quit on me. And he owned up and apologized for it. Wherever you are tonight, MaxPower, Godspeed.

Brandt Clarke

need more intel, not sure what our scouts have, I personally wouldn't mind adding Clarke, as we can have an offensive dman on alternating pairings in our defence line up plus he's right handed shooter. Between the 2 I rather have Hughes over Power. I rather the draft get moved up one year also.

what about Dylan Guenther? he was ranked number 3 in Mckenzies list 2 months ago. Highest ranked WHL player.

I like him but wouldn't have him in my top 3, has elite puck skills and is a fantastic playmaker, good edges; however, his transition game is bit weak, and lot more weaker than the players I listed in my opinion. I think he'll never be able to drive the line and will be more of a power play specialist in the big leagues. Just my two cents

He reminds me too much of all the things I don’t like about Gaudreau

There's actually a lot of people with learning disabilities/mental handicaps that play online games. It's actually sad because these people often get picked on by people who don't know, or other people with disabilities if it's a game with a lot of those.

I'm not saying this guy was definitely handicapped or anything, I mean pretty brutal of me if it's just some guy and I'm ripping on him now, but that story sounds like something someone know and game with who fits into that category would do. I've been playing this golf game with him recently and damn I try my hardest to lose without making it super obvious I'm throwing, but I've only managed to lose once. He absolutely loves it and howls every time I lose a ball! I can just imagine him calling me up and stressing because he left a game against someone he plays against, asking if I think it's a good idea for him to apologize for it.

Win or lose, he probably really enjoyed playing with you if he took the time to apologize for leaving. (Sorry if you're reading this and not disabled or anything, MaxPower)

i see. Why's that? his report makes it sound like he has the Podkolzin, Hoglander aggressive forechecking style with some of Tkachuks in your face game, a finness player, the difference is he's 6'1 compared to Gaudreau who is 5'6

faq man, games I hate to see us lose to is the Leafs and Bruins. Team tank all these years, I always enjoy beating those guys.... sigh...... why stupid Canucks why....

 

[vanuck]

Tank Commander Holtby and Miller coming through on some CRUCIAL goals today. Putting in a fine effort indeed.

 

[Bobby9]

I LOVE this season. We desperately need another high end piece on our D and im hoping this is the year we draft him. With the addition of Poldz and Hog we have the front end settled. Make a few nice signings and trades and lets shore up this D.

Id still like us to possible circle back to Guance as our 4C. I think he would be a low cost long term solution for that role. Was kind of bummed when he was let go.

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

I LOVE this season.

Yes things are going well.

There is trouble on the horizon though, FA could fire Benning, Weisbrod and Greener soon thereby putting future Tanks in Doubt. Hopefully FA uses his sixth Tanky Sense that has gotten the Nucks this far and retains the whole Tank Core.

If not, we are possibly looking at a Tankless future and what Tanks do we have then.

We need to get behind retaining the whole proud Tank Core.
