I was going to wait until the first trade after the draft to write this as a reaction piece, but there’s no sign of GMJB putting on his “Trader Jim” hat any time soon. Right now I imagine he’s wearing a salmon fishing hat, a beach sun hat, or a tequila party sombrero.
With the departure of President Linden, and top prospect Hughes going back to the NCAA (is there a connection?) it seems like the Canucks might even stand pat and start the season with the roster they’ve got now. Is that a good idea? What’s the over/under on trades before the regular season starts?
