Beagle was a miss for sure

Stecher is pretty good, bro. 4.4% CF rel, plays 20 minutes a night. He does his job well and is still young. Juolevi... well he sucks in comparison to Tkachuk, but there's stuff to like in his development. I think he'll be a player

Idk. I haven't manifested a strong hate for these Canucks yet. Their players are just fun to watch. They're exciting and fast. I much prefer this core to their old one but that can easily change with just one Pettersson playoff series
Eriksson has some fluke second assists--he's terribad and most nuck fans would love to shoot him into the sun. (Still better than Lucic though) I don't know that Juolevi will play a 100 games in the league total. Benning will Benning in the summer and overpay for Wayne Simmonds and put them in cap hell when they have to pay Boeser as well, plus Markstrom has been good so he's going to get a big raise.

You're right about Stecher though and though most people hate Roussel, he's been the only decent free agent of those bad contracts they signed. Also, is it just me or does Hughes look like he could be Johnny Hockey's brother?
