Listen, A-Dog, listen to me.
When do you find out if you win or lose the draft?
It takes two to four to five years.
You can't say on day one, let's say the Canucks take Malhotra, and everyone in the city is going to be pissed off.
can you at least wait two to four years to see who's correct and who's not?
Like, why do you have to judge on that day when they haven't played an NHL game?
Well, because they did it two other times.
Remember when they passed on Kachuk, and then they also passed on Nylander for Vertanen?
Like, they've done this thing before.
They also got a lot of wins.
Every team wins and loses at the draft.
Every team's got, like, did you think Brock Besser at 25 or whatever he went at would end up being one of the Canucks' top goal scorers?
in the 20s.
Look, sometimes you win at the draft.
Everyone's got wins and losses at the draft.
And the Canucks do, too.
But don't say on day one that it was a mistake.
Let them play some NHL games and then go from there.
Rick, thanks for this, buddy.
I was asking about Malhotra.
