You know what really sucks? If Van gets Dahlin - and even if they don't - they're almost better positioned than we are for success. They have much better prospects, and that's how poor the management on this team has been.
Van fwds: Petterson, Boeser, Horvat --- would take Drai + McDavid everyday of the week and twice on Sundays, plus we have JP, Yamamoto etc. Virtanen is the only other real promising forward prospect they MIGHT have. Other than that... nothing.
Van D: Stecher is pretty solid, although I haven't seen much of this year, Hutton is okay, Tanev will probably be past his prime by the time they are ready to compete in a few years..... Nurse, Bear, Larsson and Klefbom are a more solid top 4 than Vancouver will have unless Jolevi's development speeds up or they draft Dahlin.
Goaltending: Thatcher Demko is definitely impressive, and they are better set goaltending wise for the future, but this is also probably the hardest position to predict.
Overall, I think we look better everywhere but in the net. We have the best player in the world who is about to win his second consecutive Art Ross and will be the best player in this league for the next ten years. Pretty hard to beat that.
