As a Canucks fan, I was happy with the outcome.

to be honest though I wish they didn't run the score up like that. Give 3rd and 4th liners some play time.
Its amazing how if you look at Edmonton's draft history, they never seem to focus on good goalies and dmen. Aside from the 80s dynasty of Coffey and overrated flopping Fuhr (Moog was better), it's like 40 years focusing on forwards. even when everyone knows they need D and G, they'll usually skew to a forward as their top pick.
And when it comes to trading for much needed D and G, how often have they ever done that? lol.
As crazy as it seems, their best goalie on paper since the Fuhr/Moog days might be Tommy Salo.
My thinking is the fanbase is so used to the high power Gretzky days, they can never try being a balanced team or a shut down defensive team due to legacy. The fans would be bored to death.
Good on Elias Petterson. He's young, but I didn't think he'd get better than his early years. He'd be one of those skilled Swedes who get pushed around tapping out. But he's gotten better and during the game they were showing clips he throw hits too. I'd never had guessed he would be a 100 pt player.
