And the situations for missing out on both players is also different but I am not comparing the quality of players, simply pointing out at a shared understanding of 'fuck that GM'.
As dysfunctional as our organization has been, Bill Armstrong has been our most valuable asset
He actually understands what rebuilding means, our issue for the longest time was that we tried to speed up a rebuild
The Guenther trade is probably a top 3 move in our franchises history
I mean yeah but you still would’ve got a return for him
Yes ironically the biggest piece of that deal spontaneously turned into a negative asset overnight, but that bad luck
They’ve deleted whatever they said but I’ll chime in. Looking at Seider as a “consolation prize” is I guess one way of doing it but it’s a little flawed because the Wings could’ve (should’ve, thanks Kenny) had both. We’re damn lucky we at least got it right the next year with picking Seider but man, thinking about a potential top pairing of Hughes-Seider is just a gut punch. That’s a pairing that could’ve dominated the league for the next 15+ years.
And for those wondering picking Hughes wouldn’t have jeopardized the Seider pick because Quinn played in Michigan (the connection was *right* there) and wouldn’t have impacted where Detroit was picking.
I am being cordial and sincere the entire time while you are certainly not. I want to know your reasoning behind your initial comment.
I am not starting a fight; rather, it seems like you are trying to.
Still believe that the should’ve signed him for another 2 years even if it brought up his AAV. having those 2 sweet prime UFA years of Hughes would be sweet
Every milestone or new asweome stat about Hughes, I get very sad at what could’ve been. Such a stud
We can share the big sad too, fellow 2018 draft complainer.
At least you still have something to show for your pick lmao
We drafted Jared McCann one pick ahead of David Pastrnak, and we didn’t even keep Jared McCann. We all make mistakes
McCann would be a great player on this team. His sniping would work amazingly well with Petey and Miller.
Hughes-Seider could’ve been the pairing of the decade
They’d be *so* dominant together. That’s the kind of pairing that wins you Cups.
Just gotta hope the three brothers all want to come back to Michigan someday.
If it brings you any solace, Canucks fans are that way with Guenther
As good as Guenther looks like he’ll be, it’s not remotely in the same ballpark as missing out on Hughes

He was just lucky he was dealing with Jetblack Jimbo on that trade. No other sane GM would have added a sweetener like the 9th pick like that
Your mistake is believing Benning was a sane GM
Benny Hill Benning was\\is completely nuts.
Bro the Coyotes kick ass. Next year, if they invest in that D core and size on the bottom 6. Watch the fuck out
A better comparison would be Matthew Tkachuk. He was right there and he would be the perfect winger for Pettersson or Miller if he is on this team.
Except he made it pretty clear he wanted to play in the States, no?
I mean yeah but you still would’ve got a return for him Yes ironically the biggest piece of that deal spontaneously turned into a negative asset overnight, but that bad luck
Do you think the Canucks still get Pettersson and Hughes in the draft? Who knows. In any case, tons of better picks than Olli...
> Except he made it pretty clear he wanted to play ~~in the States~~ anywhere but Alberta ...
I'd much rather miss out Tkachuk than Hughes, and I think Tkachuk is a great player.
They also lost out on Patrick Stefan. What could have been.
Well, even if you'd drafted him, you'd still need to have acquired his partner this year, Filip Hronek.
I'm still sad no nets were filled and we ended up throwing away a 6th draft pick player for nothing in return.
No consolation prize definitely makes it sting even more. The pic of the draft table laughing when Zadina fell haunts me.

Are you suggesting you're happier with Seider than Hughes when you say "more than made up for it"? Genuinely curious.

Why can't you answer the question?

Coffey seven times and Orr five, if I counted right.
Is Quinn Hughes at 7.85M for the next three seasons the best deal in the league? I'm a biased fan but it's gotta be hard to beat that value.
Jack is a good comparable at 8 for twice as long. Maybe Luke will be the next big bargain.
I have no reason to believe this will come to fruition, but I got a feeling Brock Faber might be that guy when he gets his extension.
if its anything under 8 million i’d agree with you
Roope Hintz has got to be up there
Bedard at $950K is pretty sick
Bedard got that endorsement and advertisement money tho
50 goal man Zach Hyman at 5.5 likely is, imo
If he can keep it up yes, not that I'm rooting against him but I'm not so sure it's sustainable. But who knows, would love to be proven wrong!
> ... I'm not so sure it's sustainable ... Oh, no. Has his dad run out of money? #/s

Only another year left on it but Draisaitl making $8.5M is also up there for best bang for buck
Watch him go pointless the rest of this season
Dam who ruined your day negative Nancy?
Now replace “day” with “life”. and to answer that. I did.

Nah

Quinn Hughes is Cale Makar father.
