I would love to see one more move made... can't have enough cap space for what is coming up!

1st in 2020 if Vancouver makes the playoffs next year or else it rolls to 2021. So in other words 1st in 2021.

Agreed, but who? Johnson? Can we even move him?

Time for us to take a Russian!!!

A former Bolt on the move.

Sharks get: Tom Pyatt, pick #164
Canucks get: Francis Perron, pick #215

We just drafted Maxwell Crozier. D 6’2” 190lbs, also he has a couple of fights on Hockey fights.

JBB having a solid, solid weekend.

That is a fantastic return for Miller. Would have preferred it be one of the (new and improved?) dead money trio, but we can't have everything.

I wouldn't worry too much about the high PIM total from Crozier. The USHL hands out misconducts for everything. He had four fights which = 60 PIM from that alone.

I know we have had a debate a few times about who truly gets final decision on the bolts picks. It's pretty clear when they show the Lightning draft table that Al Murray is in charge.

I love Murray no doubt, but based upon most of the rankings I am looking at, just about every pick we made so far looked like he was reaching early. No doubt, I know squat, but one has to wonder if moving down a bit would of netted more picks and same players...guess we will never know.

[Bolthed]

I also don’t know if we can move TJ, but it should be a goal of ours to get whatever we can for him and open that scoring-line spot for Barre-Boulet, who really doesn’t have anything to prove at the AHL level.

Cajkovic was value where we got him.

That said, this draft felt flatter than usual drafts. Not much separation once you got through the obvious early picks. Yzerman took somebody in the second round that wasn't even rated by RLR at all in Detroit, for instance.
