Whether this management team or future ones, I hope the Pettersson and Hughes success stories encourage them to lean more toward pure, high-end skill in future drafts as well. It was maddening watching the Canucks pick project players, big guys or supposedly "well-rounded" players year after year for so long, then depending on the GM (largely Quinn) swindling other teams out of scorers and playmakers in trades to make up for it. This is one of the reasons I'm always willing to defend picks like Schroeder or Grabner even if they don't work out – skill above all. Unless you're Michael Bay, you teach astronauts to use a drill, rather than teaching oil-drillers to go to space.
Good for you for being able to admit you were wrong, but even bigger props for admitting it publicly. Too often in life, people will die on a hill with their original opinion/thoughts come hell or high water.I needed to re post this.

“I cannot stop laughing at the Canucks scout who actually fist pumped when Zadina was chosen before our pick. They are going to replay that as a meme for a decade after Zadina wins the calder.”
I’ve been wrong pretty much in everything but probably never more wrong than this. What a dumb post I posted at the time. At the time that’s what I really thought tho. Figured I should out myself and come clean on how wrong I was as I dish it, so I gotta be able to take it.
terrible terrible take by me.
The stretch drive is coming. The next few games on the east coast are huge especially the Toronto one because it'll get the most media attention.

Can't believe Olofsson is getting that number of votes. He is 10 points behind Quinn Hughes and is a forward.
Quinn Hughes is 4th in scoring among all defensemen.
Olofsson is 90th in scoring among all forwards.
Well, others can forgive you with a "Like" but I'm still not over it.I needed to re post this.

I remember that and I had it in my memory bank to shred you one day. Kudos to manning up. Mucho respect .

Actually, you do show up, win or lose, when others disappear.Hahahahaha. I don’t need likes. Just needed to admit how bad of a take I had. I have no issue admitting when I’m wrong. Posters that have been around a long time know that. I always have a chuckle when some new poster says “you don’t show up or post when we win, only when we lose”.
I literally post every game, win or lose. Start to finish. For a decade. On vacation, when I’m physically at the game etc. I’m a lot of terrible things but One thing I’m not is a chicken ****.
Same here lol but I liked Hughes as a consolation prizeI was disappointed we didn’t get Zadina as well lol.
Those are point totals based on a 5 for 1st, 4 for 2nd, etc... basis. Olofsson could get up to 54 points without getting a single top 2 vote. It does look like up to three writers have someone other than Makar or Hughes in their top two though.
Is it me or is Hughes not getting nearly the media push that he deserves?
Makar got so much hype during his hot start, and deservedly so.
But Hughes has been racking up points at an incredible rate in 2020 and the media doesn’t seem to have acknowledged that he’s either surpassed or at the very least drawn even with Makar in the Calder race.
I think needs a big game that’s nationally televised to finally get the talking heads to give him his due. Most awards are voted on based off of the narrative surrounding the contenders. Hughes needs media hype in order to win.
Best player in that draft. Only Svechnikov is having a similar impact
I like Brady Tkachuk but in 3 on 3 OT, he's stapled to the bench. Rather have Beagle out there
