As was Vitaly Kravtsov

We are talking about a 6 week tank to finish this season and secure a high pick and draft the best player to add to the core.


They’ve played in vancouver over the last few years and both have re-signed. I doubt they hate losing that much lmao

You need to follow the conversation this was coming from... because no we weren't.

To you point, as I have said earlier, it would have been nice, but our schedule was so soft it wasn't very realistic.

 

[Cancuks]

I'm at the point where I'd rather trade the draft pick. For me, it's top 5 or bust. I don't have faith in this management team picking the best player outside of that. I'm certain they'll draft another Lekkeramaki or Juolevi. There are going to be some good teams that will be bounced in the first round and want to retool or sell off players for draft picks. TB could be one of them. If Cernak is available and we can clear cap space that's a guy I want to pair with Hughes.

 

[Coffee]

holy shit we are 8th.

Apologies to @Cancuks and @lawrence

I said they were overreacting but seems like we are set to pass a couple teams ahead of us.

 

[just22]

There’s still a chance to finish bottom 6 but man, it’s gonna be hard to out tank some of these teams.

Lol yeah lets call someone a bust after one season that was injury plagued. He was also, the youngest player in the draft and still 18. That sound logical.

Canucks are too dominant to be bottom 6

Canucks have always been slated for 7-9th pick. 5th was only a possibility of things broke incredibly right/wrong. Been saying it for months. Canucks strength of roster, their weak schedule, how they were unlikely to significantly worsen the roster at the deadline, and how most other teams near them were wholly committed to becoming worse all made it very obvious what was going to happen

Time to just give Kuzy, Petey, and Huggy an all expenses paid LTIR trip to Hawaii for rehab at Larry Ellison's sports rehab clinic in Lanai.

 

[krutovsdonut]

no one here can love or understand me
oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, winging low
bye, bye, bedard

Yep! Top 7 would've been ideal but it is what it is - Reinbacher is the pick.

Would be wild if they traded down for a player they really want, got extra assets, and then used those to get rid of some contracts. Who knows - exciting yet tumultuous times will be had near the draft.

Where's the playoffs thread? We're never losing again.

There's a reason why he slipped in the draft.

Goodnight sweet prince

The scary part is if they win enough to get 10th, 11th or 12th

Any team picking 12th overall is getting a solid pickup.


*edit

just realized it’s tank thread, I’m intoxicated and didn’t realize. I didn’t mean to sound obnoxious.

But I doubt we will fall out top 10 my friend

I dono man, the drop is heavy at 7-8

 

[Grumbler]

f*** this team...f***ing undoing all of our tanking efforts from earlier. f***you.

 

[Coffee]

I agree with you, but top 20 this year is sweet in general. Fortunate to be picking closer to 10th overall versus 20th overall.

Cheers

 

[dez]

Tank is over, just like every other year, it's a waste. Better luck next year.

 

[Diogenes92]

we probably wont land bedard

but rememeber even trevor zegras was picked 9th overall

You're assuming they'll keep the pick.

 

[Bgav]

Where ever we end up picking, still gonna had a blue chip to this core. #positive

You see, all they need is to tell Tocchet to play demko every other game like phx is platooning with Vejmelka. I really don't see the point in giving your failed season every chance to gain points with nothing on the line? Demko has nothing to prove, all the other players of the team can still learn what they need to learn without hurting their draft position. It's as if they lack the fundamental understanding in franchise building.

we win post TDL when you didn’t sell in the past
We are still winning post TDL even after we sold
Tanking is not happening
