You bring that on yourself. You didn't hesitate to say the Canucks had a better first round than the Flames only because you knew it would be inflammatory and piss people off. Great trolling and worthy of ridicule.
I'd like to address the quality of Vancouver's first round. They drafted a good player in Horvat and an interesting player in Shinkaruk. Horvat is a character guy, but with maybe limited potential. His strength is his two way game, but he went maybe a little early. Shinkaruk was the first round slipper, but that happens. Could be an interesting player. Those are the positives of the draft for Vancouver. Now the negatives. They traded away the guy everyone thought was their starting goaltender. They kept the guy who thought his days were done with the Canucks. The Canucks didn't even talk to Luongo about the deal. There is no guarantee that Luongo will even want to remain with the Canucks. They created a massive hole and goaltender controversy by moving the wrong goaltender. Good management and work at the draft. That cancels out anything positive the Canucks could have done at the draft. They are a team in disarray to be honest.
