lmao just looked at the 2012 draft

drafted 210 overall...
Jaycob Megna
Jaycob Megna hockey statistics and profile at hockeydb.com


also didn't realize that 8 of top 10 picks from that draft were dmen

You know that's not Jayson Megna right...

yeah i know

i didn't realize he had a brother
looks like a projected depth sized dman for the Ducks

its not like we will get 1st over all anyways if we some how get 2nd or 3rd pick I would be pumped but doubt it with canucks luck. I just don't want them to draft a dman unless he is an all out stud...

Stop using up all the chances, save some for the actual lottery lol

hahahahahaha what the actual fuck

^what is the purpose of this?

probably to protect Dorsett from the expansion draft?

LOL

kinda clever...but i don't think the NHL will let this fly

Hmmm, Dim Jim is actually thinking outside of the box if he tries to put protect Biega as a forward instead of a d-man.


Does Dim Jim realize that the expansion draft is not like some Yahoo fantasy hockey pools where you can protect an extra player with the "utility" spot if you're playing in a keeper league? :lawl:

would mean an exposed list of dorsett, biega, sbisa and bachman
i dont think vegas would pick biega or bachman which would mean an extra 3mil for cap

also liljegrend has dropped to around 6 to 10 on lots of draft lists. missed 2 months due to mono and hasnt been playing good since then
button has him at 7
nhl central scouting has him as 7th european skater.
hockey writers 6
etc

Like how Virtanen has been left behind in Utica :lawl:

Looks like Dorsett isn't eligible for the expansion draft

He is missing more than 60 games this season, so that makes him not eligible.

thought dorsett had hit 20+ games. only 14 lol. will be 64 consecutive games.. canucks luck. gaunce prob gets taken then

that's too bad

Gaunce is a decent young fourth liner
guy can't seem to catch a break in the NHL, but with decent linemates, I think he's at least a 10-15 goal guy

Yup, and when he finally catches that break and is promoted to the third line, he gets injured and now Skille will be back in for tonight's game.

You have to expose a minimum of 2 forwards and 1 defenseman who are under contract next season and have played at least 70 games over the previous 2 seasons or at least 40 games this season. You also have to expose at least 1 eligible goaltender.

Anyone who isn't on the protected list who has played 3 or more pro seasons and doesn't have a career-ending/threatening injury is automatically exposed.

Yikes.

Does it actually deter teams from tanking, though? I don't think it has much of an impact.

IMO, they should:
- change the trade deadline from 40 days before the end of the season to 90 days before the end of the season.
- change the salary cap and floor from +/- 15% of the midpoint to +/- 10% of the midpoint
- remove ability to retain salary on expiring contracts

These would all reduce tanking substantially.

Sui from Sid is a little surprising.

God damn. That Sid one hander is filth. Pure filth.
Still the best.

Canucks winning 4-3??

WD is using tankbuster weapons against the Blackhawks? SwiftRage

The coyotes and and devils won today. If we do win we at least don't lose ground but sadly we don't gain any

cue the hawks comeback

Yes, Chicago scored!!
(Edit) Waived off...Damn
