Really? You did not get that joke? Sigh.

[Goalie]

So the joke being there's only 10 guys in the draft worth drafting or what?  Cuz I really don't get it at all. 

Crapshoot draft.

The guy at the bottom of this chart (fitting ) wants to get another contract with a higher amount of "unknown" salary ...

Quote

“The city of Winnipeg should take a lot of pride in the fact our team didn’t quit. There are teams in this league that gave up down the stretch when they were out of it and we certainly did not.

That means more than the wins. I mean the (wins) were great, they made it enjoyable to come to the rink in a bad situation but just being involved in games and just being in the fight with that group of guys, that’s what you start building the right things with.”

 

Blake Wheeler seems to think tanking is not a good idea.

Repeat of last season.

[Goalie]

Picking 1 2 3 11 12 13 14 or 15.

Those are the only options

Some years it's OK. .. but Patrick and Hischier aren't Mcdavid so yeah... I'd agree with the captain

If you're a true professional athlete it's never okay regardless of who is available in the draft. That's my educated guess in how Blake Wheeler would respond to this statement and it's my guess that this mentality is one of the main reasons he wears the C.

I agree but I think as a fan it's OK at times. We didn't tank last year and got Laine.

The Canucks got 4 points in a month?

[IC Khari]

Well some teams tanked, others (ahem Jets) didnt. Time will tell whether it was a good or bad thing. About the only bad thing  for us IMO is the effect of giving Maurice more time as a result of a perceived strong final 1/3 of the season. To close out this thread properly (and to hope we don't need one for this team again next season) I present an oldie but goodie ...

Well it's been brought up before that the NHL should give non-playoff teams extra chance at lottery if they finished off season with winning percentage lets say the last 10 games.

Disadvantage to this is that teams that just missed playoffs would have best chance to do this and arguably they don't need it.

Still the way we played last 10 is our offering to the Draft Lottery Gods.

I'd like to know Maurice's coaching record WTE and NTE - ie with Toby in the line-up and with-out Toby in the line-up.  Didn't we go on that streak last year too at the end of the year without Toby playing?

yes, yes they did.

Another playing through injury only to find out they better off having surgery instead case?

How the mighty have tanked ...
