@ZachClarkePxP @Stats87 He's not even the top center in the draft, Björck is a better player. But I wouldn't mind Malholtra over Björck for non-hockey reasons anyway

I will say this now, as much as I love Caleb Malhotra, if the #Canucks passed on Ivan Stenberg to take him, that will go down as one of the biggest failures in this organizations long and colourful history.

@ZachClarkePxP I recall seeing reports from local media during season they had Stenberg as #1 in class and weren’t as high on McKenna. Part of my rationale But I agree, I love the all around package Maholtra brings, but they need dynamic upside. Even if it means you take a winger over a center

@Stats87 That would be wild, but I could see you being right. Either way, Malhotra is definitely not Top 2 forwards in this class.

@MikeMartignago He’ll get his raise when he hops across the water. Where in Europe do we figure he is ending up? Championship?

@TFCGooner2 @sportsrage Are you intentionally being daft or are you legitimately this limited at reading and comprehending data that’s right there in front of you? Their attendance dropped for the 3 years affected by COVID measures and returned to pre-2020 levels well ahead of Muller’s arrival

@Stats87 @sportsrage “Apart from the three years before Muller turned up” I don’t think the Caps get any different attendance figures compared to other clubs that are doing well. But when the team was mediocre so were the attendance figures. Thats not uncommon in MLS

@TFCGooner2 @sportsrage That’s not even close to true. The only years it dipped sharply were the 3 years from 20-21 to 22-23 and there’s a clear reason why that happened

@sportsrage Your stadium was pretty much empty before Muller. It has nothing to do with attendance

San Jose on the balance has defended very well and the Whitecaps final ball has been lacking, but the commentators are doing a lot of work here to mask the fact the Quakes have been just hanging on most of the match

You obviously don't understand how percentage (%) works. Yes, the percentage drop for PS5 was higher but because of the baseline they still sold more units than Xbox (which reported 9 consecutive declines in hardware). When PS5 only sold 1.5 million, imagine how Xbox performed?

Xbox hardware has never dropped 46% but people claimed Xbox was dead. Well where are you people claiming PlayStation is dead with a 46% drop.🤷

@oliver_drk So PlayStation is down 46% and you are claiming that's better than Xbox highest drop of 42%🤣 Clearly you don't understand percentages, hence you tried to make it about the units numbers instead.🤡

Except fans online could have easily out drafted the majority of the Jim Benning era and not signed certain UFA’s we immediately knew were a bad idea
Jason Gregor@JasonGregor

@wyshynski any team picking a GM based on some vocal fans online is doomed.

The only positive is San Jose may pick a defenseman, leaving Stenberg for Canucks

@N0rk58 @ChesterM222 A few fans are mad at me because I I said I think he’s better suited to being a 3rd liner and shouldn’t be in a top 6.

@JCourvilleLynch I like him and was annoyed when Tocchet forced him out of town in Vancouver, but ideally he’s not having to consistently play in a top 6 But the replies to your post have folks still taking him over Holloway, which is all kinds of silly. Even with salary consideration

@Stats87 Let’s not undermine Podkolzin either, he does a lot well away from the puck. Sure, heaters usually aren’t sustainable - but he’s an incredible fit alongside Draisaitl.

Podkolzin has quickly become the most overrated player in Edmonton by its fans. He was a nice add for cheap and he has a nice all around game. But he gets spoken about like he had 35 goals this year and didn’t have a career high shooting %
Jesse Courville-Lynch@JCourvilleLynch

Podkolzin is extremely effective, but let’s not get it twisted, Dylan Holloway at $7.75M is one of the best valued contracts in the NHL. Letting Holloway walk is a top-10, maybe top-5 all-time blunder by the Oilers.
