Yeah once it gets past the top 15 or so the BPA is pretty subjective, so its hard to say

Depends on which rankings you went off i guess.
Most had Honka at 20 or lower.
Mckenzie for instance had larkin at 12, honka at 20,
Button is the only 1 i recall having Honka higher than larkin, and he still had Honka at 18.
Iss had honka at 40 but pretty much everyone else had him in the 20s.
Same with tufte, though he was taken about where he was ranked, some lists had him above guys like howden and Thompson, some had him below them. Mckenzie had him in the low 20s (20 or 21 iirc)
I wouldn't consider him the bpa at the time, but he was in the mix according to most, though I'm 100% sure it was because of him being 6'6. Which artificially inflated his ranking. His HS numbers were great but his ushl numbers were pretty poor, which is usually indicative of someone who can use his size advantage against lower quality competition and lacks talent... but you know, can't teach size

I think there's a decent chance the Canucks season is over . Situation is reportly much more serious than what any of the other teams had been dealing with including players getting IV's . Brazilian variant supposedly involved which is just bad news all around

My ideal forward group for next season:
X = Free agent top 6 forward hopefully
Robertson - Seguin - Radulov
X - Hintz - Pavelski
Benn - Dellandrea - Gurianov
Kiviranta - Faksa - Dickinson/whoever
So, who could we realistically get to play that top 6 LW or even RW spot and push Hintz and Pavelski over? Or do we have a rookie step in like Damiani and try that out?
I don't think it has hit me yet how impactful the emergence of Robertson, and even Hintz, will/can be. With everyone healthy we could legitimately be a decent offensive team

i know the preferred positions are why they are but why would you break up Jrob and Hintz after they have formed such a good chemistry?

I just wanna see JRob with Seguin, but you can swap anyone in the top 6 and Id still be fine with it, as long as only those guys are in the top 6

Alex iafallo is probably a relatively realistic target to play 2nd line lw. Can even play center when hintz inevitable gets injured

You've been pumping Iafallo's tires in a few threads.
I gotta admit: The first time you pumped him I had to look up who he was.

I think I've mentioned him twice.You've been pumping Iafallo's tires in a few threads.

But ufa, 27, solid numbers on a horrible la team, can play in all situations.
He'd be an ideal utility player in the vein of coleman. Do everything well, not really exceptional though.
Basically what everyone hoped dickinson would be, just you know better

I wouldn’t mind Iafallo if we managed to dump some of the plugs off the roster.

I understood why Dallas didn't keep him and I wasn't really interested either, but it's pretty funny he has more goals than Benn and Guri.

Tbh I don’t though I didn’t really think much of it. Why do you think that is?

Aging UFA that was on a one year deal, players like Kivi and some young guys potentially pushing him out, etc. Of course there is also the possibility he also wanted to move on.
