Not necessarily directed at you, but how was Byfield viewed compared to Fantilli pre-draft? Byfield went #2 behind a guy that was considered to be a star (Laf) if I remember right, Fantilli 3rd behind a potential generational player and a guy that would be considered a #1 pick in most years (and he was a coin flip/ranked slightly ahead by many).

Stars finally have recalled Stankoven. Dude's Getzlafing through the AHL but due to the Stars having a healthy lineup he did not had a spot. Their coach even said that whenever someone will be out, they'd know who to call up. They finally had an injury... so Stankoven is called up.
Just for perspective how other teams have it

Maybe not the NHL, but the PGA. Jake Knapp leading the Mexico Open Championship while sporting a Ducks logo.

I went yesterday afternoon but most of the festivities were done. Just some air hockey games for kids, jazz players in Ducks uniforms, and live cover bands, and expensive beer. Players and alumni probably came early with their families.

stankoven, robertson, and hintz were all late 2nd round picks. crazy good scouting
And Johnston was a later 1st...the kind the Ducks have been consistently missing on lately.

Offer to trade draft lists for a year so they can get D and we can get F

When Stankoven and Zellweger were teammates last year in juniors it was unfair. Both small but just on a completely different level from everyone else on the ice
Both will be good pros

He has just completely willed his way back into the Hart Race. I definitely think the finalists will be Kucherov/Matthews/MacKinnon still but the gap has completely closed
Stankoven torched the AHL and now is 4p into his 4 NHL game career with rave reviews.
We'd never pick a player like him under Verbeek. We could've picked Brindley last year but did not, going for size and intangibles or whatever. While I like our identity we're building, I wish we'd be open minded for players of this caliber. We will and I believe we have already, in some cases, McIlrath ourselves

From what I interpret, we are trying to build the foundations of a team that is hard to play against. Size is a big factor in this and players with size and skill are only really available at the top of the draft. While we are drafting high with access to these players we will take them but as we improve and these guys are no longer in our draft range we will pivot to grabbing a Brayden Point type of player that can be insulated among our giants.
For us to have actually drafted Stankoven we would have had to use the Zellweger pick so I'm happy with what we did at this stage.
Canucks re-signed EP 8 years x 11.6. Seems like a really good contract.

they've probably given up on the season and are gonna look at their goalie situation during the summer.
