Abbotsford Prospect (2/14)

  1. At 6th pick- Nylander This guy could end up being the best pick in the draft. His composure, patience, vision and skill with the puck are unbelievable. He's got 1st line future player written all over him. This is the type of player the Nucks need. He's not only good but he's entertaining. With proper coaching and maturity this kid will be awesome. Hopefully we can trade Kesler or edler and pick up another top 12 pick either this year or next. There's a lot of good players in this draft. I think this draft is very underrated
  2. This is our worst game in ages. Higgy is at the top of the list. We seem brain dead tonight
  3. No way at that cap hit...unless of course he goes on a tear, and kicks but the rest of the season and playoffs! Btw he's not on that tear right now; he's just playing decent. 4.2 mil is a lot of cap space for a guy who just plays ok, and previously was either injured or played horrible
  4. Edler and a 2nd would not get us Eberle! If we add one of the following then maybe...a 1st or shinkaruk or horvat
  5. Michael buble sighting at Harry Rosen today...Sedins haven't been seen for weeks
  6. This team looks lost out there. 2 terrible passes in a row from Bieksa wtfis going on. Wake uppppppp
  7. I couldn't agree more! Our pp looks horrible, and they're both on it 80% or more of the time. 5/5 they look slow, and the other teams first line outplays them practically every game. I'm tired of hearing how its Hansen or burrows fault all the time. Last night we noticed seguin and Benn the whole game and against Minny, it was all parise and koivu; tonight its all kane...where are the bloody twins?
  8. He's done some stupid things, and at times plays with his head in the clouds, but the raw talent is there. He plays like he's a boy still but showing signs of becoming a man in a mans sport; especially as a power forward/ fighter. When he matures(everyone does it at diff pts of their lives) he'll become a good player. It doesn't help that as a whole we are less than stellar as a team when it comes to mental/emotional side of things; when things get down in games, we tend to fall apart and take bad penalties and start chasing the game. Giving up one goal on a turnover or bad bounce tends to lead to bad stretches that lead to the other team scoring in bunches. Kassian is an emotional and immature while on the ice guy, so our leaders, eg edler, bieksa, Kesler and sometimes even the sedins, need to grow up and start showing these guys the right way to handle situations etc
  9. Higgins played well, and he has some sick moves, but he needs to keep his feet moving when he makes these moves.
  10. Completely agree! Really like seeing Booth score a beauty, but the best part of the game was seeing bieksa destroy Boyle
  11. Remember that I never proposed booth for Erat. All I've done is point out that booth isn't worth Erat. Honestly, that doesn't say much about Erat's worth either considering how bad booth has looked for yrs now. I don't want either of them. I want the cap space. I want a big trade. I want to trade players, like you do, that have worth, so we get a great package back. This team is stagnant, and in desperate need of a change. I also never said it was impossible to move guys with ntc's. in fact, most of my earliest proposals involved guys with ntc's and ppl kept bringing that point up rather than discussing the value and needs of both teams; with me assuming that the hockey knowledge on these forums was higher than most. Obviously ntc's can be worked out. It's happened before, so it can happen again but I bring it up so that guys responding don't say " but what about the NTC" etc etc. Gillis needs to figure this out now while these players have decent value, for this yr and on because the process isn't working as well as he thinks
  12. Beautifully put! Maybe all the wannabe mom and dads of the forum group that either don't think their crap stinks or have zero passion for this game or team should just stay off the forums. You're prob the same ppl that go to the games at GM place and sit on your hands...and think " I can't show any emotion because somebody may notice and judge me" boo hoo. I'll take some emotion and passion any day over your boring life; as long as it doesn't lead into fisticuffs why he F would you care?
  13. Is this really happening again? One win and we decide that we don't even need to try again. Where's kes and the twins. This team needs a big trade in the worst way
  14. I'm not saying we would have to give something special for Erat, but what I am saying is that Booth with that contract, his lack of production for several yrs, and his injury concerns is essentially a non starter from wash perspective. If we added an ok prospect and a 3rd then perhaps they'd do it but trying to get someone who's played well for his whole career except a quarter of this one, while being on a new team, doesn't = Booth. There's no doubt that Erat's value is at an all-time low but Booth is much much worse
