Who's better, Pouliot or Hutton?

W5 - Best show ever other than Cheers.

I was not happy when JB drafted him and I'm not happy with his development now. I have watched him play a few times and every time I could not see what Jim keeps saying about him... he's very smart with the puck, smart with his positioning and quit type of leader.... I still have not seen any of those things and until I do he will not make the NHL anytime soon, maybe never.

I'm sorry you have Dementia

No one is panicking, I just believe JB made a mistake in taking him before some others that were on the board. He may be a solid d man in 3, 4 or 5 years...and he may never turn out.

Cherry picking 2 drafted defence men means nothing, I could cherry pick a dozen high pick D men that made a difference in the NHL in their first or second year. He's not just a 1st round pick, He's the 5th overall pick in that draft, my point is there are two dmen from that draft already way better than him.

Tired of all these excuses. If everyone else is bad and you're the 5th overall pick, thats when YOU pick up your game and make everyone else better. Thats what a very high draft pick should be able to do. He does none of that.

The real question is, will he be better than Glass, and know one knows right now, but I'm pretty confident saying Glass will be playing in the NHL long before Petterson.

Very Vanilla Draft so far by Benning. yawn

Habs working on contract extension with Galchenyak

Okay, TV on, Macbook open and ready, 2 Ipads on twitter and red phone on standby. I'm ready.

I'm happy with MiddleTippitGlassMakar

I have to agree, for Jim supposed to be this drafting guru, his draft picks have been very suspect. Not impressed so far.

It's already been reported Vegas wants Patrick and will move up to 2nd to get him. He will not be a Canuck.

I really hope he takes Glass, but I have a feeling he will take Petterson instead.

If Glass is there at 5 they better take him!

Actually Juolevi reminds me of Edler.... oh uhhhhh

More like two Paso's

There is NHL Draft talk on TSN 1040 right now, it's pretty good if you're bored.

Absolutely, thats what all of us do on this board, give our opinions !

No team is going to pay the price JB value's Tanev at so I'm 90% he will not be traded.

Lets just forget all this fodder talk and cut to the chase. Tanev will not get traded, we will pick with the draft picks we have. End of story.

Wrong, Tanev is absolutely worth the 3rd overall pick and here's why. He is one of the BEST defensive D's in the entire league, exactly what Dallas needs if the want in the play off's next year. Had rave reviews from McDavid and his D partner at Worlds. It's a weaker draft this year He would make Dallas a whole lot better instantly. Jim holds the cards in this deal. Tanev straight up for the 3rd or nothing. Dallas needs Tanev more than Canucks need the 3rd.

JB and TL took Makar out for dinner so, yes they like him a lot. Will they draft him if avail...
