Drance said something interesting the other day. No hurry to get Cootes Novotny or any prospect into the NHL. The expansion draft coming up with the NHL would mean you don’t need to protect them if it takes two more years for them to develop into the NHL.
Slow and steady wins the race, these kids aren’t NHL ready, they need to soak them for as long as possible as none of them are at the point where they’re impactful players at the NHL level.
From NHL Forum on X…
Worst records over the last 5 seasons
1. Blackhawks → 131W – 229L
2. Sharks → 132W – 220L
3. Ducks → 159W – 204L
4. Blue Jackets → 169W – 192L
5. Kraken → 176W – 190L
6. Canadiens → 171W – 185L
7. Flyers → 170W – 183L
8. Devils → 201W – 177L
9. Red Wings → 188W – 175L
10. Senators → 198W – 175LI’d like to see Novotny have an impact early, it would just make that Quit Hughes trade sweeter. Kid has a decent shot!
The excellent return they got for Hughes might help the Canucks shorten the rebuild by a year, or possibly two.
I just hope it doesn’t take the Canucks as long as it took Anaheim, or it’s taking Chicago, to come out of this rebuild. But I’d be prepared for another four years of this if I were a betting man.
There really isn’t much point in commenting here, as no ones here, but Utah is looking very good going forward when it comes to young prospects and players. Excited to see Iginla, I think he’s gonna be better than most think.
I cannot help this feeling Rossi is in for a big break out. After a tough season with an injury & later playing with a foot injury tells me something special is coming with a fresh start in his 1st full season as a Canuck. The BRO line showed real chemistry. Rossi puck possession control Boeser his triggerman & Ohgren doing the dirty work dogging the puck. My idea of good line dynamics. Rossi will need to bring a 200’ game Boeser do Boeser Ohgren play fast hard n hungry.
I hope so. Drive up his trade value after this season.
Trade value??? He’s the future – bro!!
