  1. I am going to wait a while and see how everything turns out first before I have a total meltdown :P

      I only picked this username because I was having a hard time thinking of any decent ones lol I might change it soon. 

  2. Instead of watching the mess that the Canucks have become tonight I am going to watch deadpool instead. 

  3. I wonder if the Kings will have any success in moving Brown or Gaborik in order to resign Lucic.

      I want Lucic as well as long as long he isn't signed to a terrible contract lol

      lol, I think JB will throw pretty big money at Lucic.

      I agree though contract length may be more of a concern since physical players start to decline earlier than others and he will be 28 though at the very least he would do a ton of good in the short term. 

       

  4. I agree. If he goes a ppg the whole season then he will look like quite a steal.
  5. Zhukenov had 2 assists today in a 4-1 victory bringing him up to a ppg http://theqmjhl.ca/gamecentre/games/4059?tab=3
  6. Since people are so concerned with Virtanen for reasons of which are areas of positive for Nylander and Ehlers who were picked right after they seem like good examples to use even if they don't come right out and say that and besides most people seem to have wanted them instead any way. Exactly you can point out flaws in every players game. Being worried about Virtanen's offense and using examples of players who have had high scoring junior careers and turned into high scoring NHL players is just as much cherry picking as me bring up Ladd Lucic and Byfuglien. Your right about that.
  7. I can turn right around and say so there have been no small offensive players with big numbers ( Like Nylander and Ehlers ) who have done nothing in the NHL due to high bust potential? cough Jordan Schroeder cough. And yes Jamie Benn and Evander Kane were also power forwards who came out of the WHL who produced pretty significantly more than Virtanen and the other players I pointed out but were also touted as having higher potential than Virtanen. I used WHL comparisons since the OHL and QMJHL tend to be higher scoring leagues. I understand your just trying to be realistic and I'm not trying to be a blind homer I'm just trying to show some enthusiasm and hope I can help others be a little more positive as well partly because I don't think it's as bad as some people make it out to be.
  8. And also for all of you that are worried about Virtanen's offense Lucic Ladd and Byfuglien all similar offensive numbers to him in there draft years and seasons after all were power forward types who came out of the WHL being basically PPG players like Virtanen. I know Virtanen is not likely to become a star offensive first liner but he has a very good chance of becoming a 50-60 point power forward.
  9. I know last season a lot of people were concerned with Virtanen's offensive numbers but this upcoming season between him being healthier with not coming off shoulder surgery and some of Calgary's better players like Adam Tambellini and Connor Rankin leaving the team due to age he will get more ice time and his offensive numbers will improve somewhat because of those 2 things.
  10. Like the name now all we need is to acquire a prospect with the name Goldberg to play along side him
  11. People need to remember the QMJHL is a much higher scoring league than the WHL if the roles were switched Virtanen's scoring would increase and Ehlers would decrease.
  12. I know some Flames fans on places like hf and Calgarypuck will make him sound like a bust and lockerroom cancer but honestly I think the real reason he has struggled the last year or 2 in the Flames organization is very similar to why Loui Eriksson's play has dropped off in Boston compared to when he was in Dallas.
  13. Most people throw around Bergeron and O'Reilly comparisons for Bo which are good but honestly he reminds me of Linden this video along with wearing number 53 i honour of Ian Jenkins remind me of the classiness Linden has along with Horvats leadership size strength 2 way play and ability to step it up in the playoffs it all seems pretty Trevor Linden like to me.
