Still can't believe they gave us Bonino for Brandon Sutter
Rich...And I hope it continues forever, I have nothing bad to say about any other franchise but I LOVE watching the Canucks fail, it is one of my favourite things about sports. Watching them draft no hockey IQ Jake Virtanen and I laughed and laughed, Joulovi or however you spell it, HA what a choke job with Tkachuk sitting there, Eriksson, Ganger LOL, thinking that pylon Gufbranson is an NHL player, getting nothing for Hamhuis, goalie chaos, riots, Sedins refusing to try to win and rather going home cupless instead of being traded to a contender, Bertuzzi going psycho when they had a shot at the cup, Dave Nonis, it’s been great. Jim Benning is icing on the cake. they ruined a great cup window with Booth, Ballard contracts. Imagine if they spent that 8+ million better.
I will agree with a comment like this until the end of time.The draft is a crap shoot for every team that is a part of the lottery, there's no way it'll change and it shouldn't. If anything, teams that get a 1st OA, should be banned from picking 1st OA for 3yrs to deter the same team from "winning" that lottery for sucking.
And luck has nothing to do with it, there are plenty of things that they've gotten away with too, it's just the way it is. You don't work hard enough, you don't get far enough. There's also far too many hands in the pot with ownership, etc, controlling what happens to the team.
You won't get far when Ownership is too much into the team's on ice operations and then pretends they are not.
Honestly the majority of those issues just smell like bad management

If Canucks are unluckiest Tampa are the luckiest. Got a cup gifted to them by the NHL in 04. Still hurts me to this day.

You were close, the first draft lottery was not until 1995.Draft lottery wasn't a thing until '93, I believe.

It's not luck. It's certain people being dumb.
The Habs need a word... missed out on Sid, Matthews/Laine, Dahlin/Svech, got the best player out of the worst draft in history or 2nd best wtv, etc...
Well soon enough it needs to be the Habs turn cause its been a whileUnlucky my ass.
Anyone with 24 Stanley Cup championships has nothing to say here.
So many amazing players over so long a time. The Habs aren’t unlucky... it’s just someone else’s turn.
