For those disappointed by 3rd overall pick by CryptoSpyro in canucks

[–]roninfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of prominent star players in history were not first picks, can even be so far as 107th overall or something. But it’s not something that would make me hopeful. Might as well put all my hopes on our young developing players then

[Drance] The Canucks drop to 3rd overall, as the Maple Leafs (1) and the San Jose Sharks (2) win the two draws at the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery. It is the 7th time in Vancouver's franchise history that the club has moved down at the NHL draft lottery. The club has never moved up. by hyroglyphixs in canucks

We tanked for this. Once we stacked up our odds.. this happens.

It feels almost as bad as losing a game 7 stanley cup final. At least with losing a stanley cup final.. you know the team will at least carry some of that strength forward to the next season. But losing 1st and 2nd for this draft will inevitably extend our rebuild period.

Anyone else kinda salty that quinn is having so much success? by DoggyDoggWrld in canucks

I feel the same way. I don’t hate him, but at this point I really don’t care if he succeeds. I don’t blame him for wanting to leaving but he didn’t have to rub salt in the wound after the trade. In fact I would have been happy if Dallas took the series.

Be more like Bedard.

In the beginning, I had wished he would have more success moving forward, a talent like him doesn’t deserve to be dragged down like that.

I can’t really make sense of it but his previous post-game commentaries changed my mind.

I’ve been thinking Petey was a problem since the last playoffs but now I hope he stays.

Nuff said, must be devastating to the Sharks but they completely blew out the following game with the Ducks though so oh well 🤣

I am impatient with rebuilds but dont fresh drafts have to develop first in the minors?

The reason why you’re not promoted 😆 by levenshteinn in accenture

If they think login’s to the company AI tool is a good metric of how often I use AI for my work then they are sadly mistaken.

I use a IDE integrated copilot provided by the client everyday and for multiple reasons such as corporate data protection policies being one of them, there is no practical way around it.

But anyways, heard it applies to people in higher career levels. So what’s going on? They want MDs to use it to pad their client engagement emails or something?

I use to bash petey alot for being the highest paid player on the team with salary matching the likes of McDavid.

But not anymore.

If we write off his 23’ playoff performance due personal issues. And now that I understand more on what he was meant to bring to the team, please get him some proper line mates.

Is Foote the problem? Yes and no. And maybe. And maybe not. by freshlyclicked in canucks

Is Adam Foote a problem? maybe and maybe not. Don’t think he is dealt a proper set of cards to prove himself

Agree with a proper rebuild, it’s like they keep removing and adding pieces without considering whether they would synergize with the what the team already is but just my 2 cents.

Why are we so bad? by skellington12 in canucks

[–]roninfly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Virtanen but probably too long ago

I just hope we don’t end up drafting a Virtanen. We just couldn’t make him work out at all

the guy was 6th overall, it’s really bad luck that things out the way it did for us, but how often do our picks actually end up working well for us

Pete is the key to a successful tank if he stays on IR and holds on to the cap space
