ParticipantBrackett hired by the Leafs.
Good he really hasn’t done a spectacular job in Minnesota, Canucks have 3 of his top picks in Rossi(9oa), Ohgren(19oa) and Buium(12oa). Brackett isn’t the drafting guru Lefty made him out to be.
I’ve been hearing Canuck related media saying Todd Harvey is rumored to be pushing hard for Verhoeff at 3oa.
I think he’s going to bounce back but I still think he’s too risky at 3.

Hearing director of amateur scouting Judd Brackett is leaving the #mnwild for an elevated position for another team. Brackett ran the Wild’s last 5 drafts and is on an expiring contract.
I havent heard Linden going off about Benning not being sold on a draft eligible Elias Pettersson these days(or Lefty for that matter). Wonder why? Wasnt Petey Brackett’s guy?
I don’t know if Petey was a Brackett guy, but I do know he’s a shell of his former self and the club would be wise to rid themselves of his game and his personality at this point.

ParticipantThe 20oa pick isn’t worth a proven top pairing RHD. A GM would get roasted & run outta town doing SJ a favour like that. 20oa+ maybe. What would a 20oa career project as?

ParticipantThings have kind of gone quiet in Canuckland but with just over three weeks until the draft I expect things to start heating up again. I’d like to see Filip Hronek traded to San Jose for the 20th pick, they’re looking for defence. I think it’s the Oilers pick, that way the team would have four picks in the top 33. They could get a nice start on a rebuild with that!!

ParticipantA new beginning that looks something like this…
“After an exhaustive search through the available hockey people for the Presidents job we found that our player development coaches were the best fit to lead the club and President of Hockey Operations”.
Followed by…

After an exhaustive search to fill the players development coach position, we found that former Canuck and Swede, Alex Edler was the best fit”.
Followed by…
“After exhaustive scouting of the draft eligible players in the 2026 NHL entry draft, we found that our coaches kid is the best player to pick at #3 OA”.
Sure feels like a new beginning and direction….

ParticipantI totally missed my calling as a comedic writer. Probably the best part of the old hockeybuzz group was their collective sense of humour. Hopefully we can keep it going over here before Lordy migrates and ruins it for everyone.
Just kidding Lordy.
