  1. Put him on the virtanen plan! lol I was 6'0 168 in grade 12 (17), training, eating etc, by 20 I was 6'2' 195 not hard to do.
  2. If they develop Gadjovich and Virtanen properly they have two sizable, physical wingers on the left side. Gadjovich says he patterns his game over Brouwer.
  3. Exactly, and when players like Dahlen, Petterson, Guadette, Lockwood, are ready they will be 21/22, Bo will be 24/25 and wearing the C, Baer, Boeser, Goldobin will have learned consistency, we'll have a better Granlund, experienced Juolevi, Hutton, Stecher, Demko should be starting to take on the #1, and hopefully Try back from Russia This team is going to be very TOUGH to deal with in 3 years, the depth of talent we have now (if some of this years picks turn out) is going to cause problems for McDavid and Co.
  4. Love the picks this year. I wanted Pettersen and after seeing his emotion in those videos, how proud he is to be drafted, I see what the Canucks see outside of talent, heart and character I love the picks of Lind and Gadjovich - middle 9 players, with grit and heart. Gadjovich is a man physically already and both good Canadian kids. Like this Rathbone kid too, maybe we got that PP QB and didn't have to spend a high pick on one, time will tell. Good Draft by JB, hopefully we get Try back in 3 years as well when all the pieces start fitting together, loving the look of where this is heading, and if you're a Canuck fan I can't see how you cant be excited for whats down the road! My guess is next Draft we are D first (if high) then centers (reverse of this year). Horvat Boeser Demko Juolevi Dahlen Goldobin Petterson Virtanen Brisbois Granlund Baerschi Lockwood Gaudette **Tryamkin Stecher Gudbranson Anyone critical of JB has to realize in three years, other than Bo, that above, is all him.
  5. Hmm...I said Nucks should take Petterson, and TL basically read my comment on him on this site to explain why lol. I said Vilardi and Glass would be 10-15 in a good draft (and they went close to that anyways), I said Euros are underrated - TL Said the same. I said if Gradin likes Petterson we should take him as he is our best scout. Sign me up Aquaman!

  6. You ignored every other point on my response - suggest you try reading it and debating the points Here it is again if you need some help, there's alot in there to read, do it a few times. I will give you a 4/10 on your repeated trolling efforts on this site though.
  7. Watch Canucks fans on this site whine endlessly about hypotheticals they imagine in their minds

  8. LOL tell that to edmonton and chicago - ten years before they got lucky in the draft and had picks when generational players showed up and do note, they got them before the lottery system started screwing teams over. Wake up guy wow just wow You completely ignore that your "TANK" strategy just makes us worse for a longer period, breeds a culture of losing, busts players, and is predicated on the freak chance we are lucky enough to win the lottery the same year a crosby/ovie/ kane appears. Ask Colorado how that tank worked this year? Ask Philly and Dallas and NJ how their non tanked worked? Hell, look at the Canucks two years running 3rd to last and 2nd to last what more do you want guy? And both years we fell back the max spots. CLEARLY with a lottery system there is no longer any guarantees of getting the top pick and that ignores you need to actually win that pick when there is actually a generational player. Basically your strategy is crap the bed and pray - lol -effective strategy to be successful at anything in life I hear.
  9. I never said you said it was exceptional, I was stating that you are implicitly overvaluing a 3rd overall pick in this draft. In a strong year, a player like Vilardi would be a 10-15 pick for instance. As for long way from contender? Dallas was expected to be top 4 in the West this year but had an awful year with injuries and their defense and goaltending was awful. It's why they brought in Bishop and a defensive oriented coach. Not sure what sport you're watching but in 2015/16 Dallas was FIRST in the Western Conference with 109 pts and SECOND IN THE NHL behind only Washington who had a crazy year Dallas had 50 - FIFTY wins the year prior sir, they had a really BAD / OFF year, they are in win now and are a contender if they stay healthy and fix their defensive issues. They've corrected goaltending for a reason And by the way, the year prior they had 92 points (and while they missed the playoffs, it was by 7 points and 41 wins is nothing to scoff at) Clearly the trend was up and this year was a mulligan, in fact they were 12-1 odds for 2016/17 as winners of the cup http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2666673-stanley-cup-odds-for-every-nhl-team-at-start-of-2016-17-nhl-season Fifth highest odds to win in 2016/2017 - odds makers had them in 'win now' sir http://www.inquisitr.com/3588417/nhl-stanley-cup-odds-2017-chicago-blackhawks-tampa-bay-lightning-early-favorites/
  10. Yes I recall that as well. Regardless, I think if we get Virtanen straightened out, he will actually bring a valuable and rare skillset to our team. Much moreso than Nylander. I think Nylander's numbers were inflated by alot of PP time and playing with Matthews. He would not have been the same player with us, but not denying his talent. That being said, with Goldobin, Dahlen, Baer, Granlund, skill is less of an issue for us and Virtanen adds a unique dimension, that will be immensely valuable in the playoffs. The key is his commitment to be a pro and how he develops.
  11. I would agree with you in principle but you are missing some key variables A . Before this lottery system, the worst teams picked the highest so most were in need of youth and potential as clearly a rebuild is in order B. Some of the teams at the top end (Dallas and Philly) got lucky in the lottery and are actually in a "Win Now" scenario but need some key pieces - particularly Defense. They are both playoff teams if healthy and playing well and will be for a number of years. They want a cup, their windows are open right now. C. This draft is by no means 'exceptional' Those issues have to factor into the process of who will give up what for Tanev. Your comment and Robb Zepp's are implicitly ignoring these important nuances. Dallas is not rebuilding, they could very well value Tanev more than the 3rd pick this year if he means they have a shot at a cup by his addition to their lineup
  12. Aaand rosters Frozen! 

  13. The issue becomes for us, what does Tampa have that is attractive coming back given they've traded Drouin?
  14. Indeed - "man strength" is very different, anyone who's older knows. You can have a 19 year old kid lift a ton more than you in the gym but on the ice, football field where ever you can knock him around. I am not sure why but its real.
  15. Yes, the more I read about Glass, the more I am warming up to him, was higher on Mittlestadt prior to the combine, and while strength is correctable, it makes me wonder how committed he is to being a pro. Sure if you're just some random kid playing high school hockey maybe working out isn't as much of a focus but if you're expected to be a top pick, you know you have to go through a combine etc? Glass seems to have all the skills and as importantly the character and competitive fire to improve, that's usually more important than raw talent once you get to the NHL. Reading about his game he's actually sounding alot more like a Jonathan Toews than a Johansen Who do you take if Vilardi and Glass are still there? I take Glass
