  1. But after seeing him play responably snd safely u til he learns his partners... i could just imagine how cdc would blow after game one if he doesnt pot a goal and grab a few helpers
  2. How do you figure? The way of Arizona, Buffalo and Edmonton were to "gift" the spots to the young guys. Not make them take the spots from mid tier regular NHL'rs. Look how its worked out for them? Toronto had been drafting high for years and had a bunch of players NOT signed to NMC's that had some great value. We did not. We already traded them. Shnieds, Lu, Kesler. I have seen the argument about "Benning is good at drafting so never trade a pick for a player" so often it blows my mind. Drafting is talent evaluation. How does that get thrown out the window unless your drafting? He knows which prospects are around the level of the pick he is trading and he feels the player has more upside. "Trading picks for players that will have no impact on a team when its competitive?" Are you playing a video game? Are we suppose to just throw rookies in and see how they do. Don't bring them up in a competitive environment around other decent regular NHL's they can learn from? So we just sign some loser 4th liners and sit at the bottom for 3-4 years until you get your talent and then magically in one off season build a team around them? Toronto didn't even do that and they have BABCOCK. The players we traded picks for have a chance at being a lot better than the picks we traded. When our new core makes these players redundant we can then TRADE them for more draft picks to KEEP the cupboards full. Heck if we let them develop enough we might even get BETTER picks than we used to get them. You are not realistic in any way. And the way you think makes me believe you have no clue about personal, player or athlete development.
  3. Demko screams Luongo type goaltender. His positional game is strong but he needs to work on his side to side movements and his glove hand. He goes down to quick in my opinion as well. In his first game in GM place most of the early posts and the first goal was him losing track of the puck. Every ice surface has different lights and shadows which effect goaltenders WAY more than players. GM place has a four shadow cross in middle of the ice just inside the blue line. The first goal and quite a few of his iffy plays were from that exact spot. He will be a NHL starter for sure MD is something else. I completely agree that he needs some serious fundamentals. A recent prospect I will relate him to on a lesser scale is Virtanen(this is why he had so little ice time to start. His bad habits had to be broken and green didnt want him cheating). MD is so gifted that he gets away with his bad habits and cheating because of his natural ability. Some people can't shake and transition to a more professional and fundamentally sound game. But if it does... we will have LU/SCHNIDS v2.0 And I mean Michael Dipitero.... He's got an epic goaltender name.
  4. This. I truly think 2017 will be better than 2014. I can see every player we drafted having a serious chance at making it. With how deep this draft is I cant WAIT to see what Benning pulls out of his hat. Benning is about to make a lot of people eat crow on the Virtanen and OJ picks to.
  5. I was wondering that what the "magic number" to keep the talent pool up and be able to take advantage of ELC's. If we net 2 solid players per year as a playoff team we would be one of BEST team in the NHL. How long did we stay dominant without a SINGLE prospect making our team for years. Even 1 NHL player per year would be incredable. So far Benning's worst year looks to be 2016. While OJ looks like the real deal Lockwood cant seem to stay healthy. Brett McKenzie looks promising and Cole might do something but I don't really see it. LOL how spoiled are we when 2 NHL players is Bennings worst draft
  6. It really is isn't it. There have been a few comments and questions on whether Benning will be able to continue to draft this well when we start to make the playoffs aka Winnipeg and Tampa.... Not Calgary and Edmonton. With a 5th round pick looking great in the nhl and the 6th round pick lighting it up in his first 3 games in the AHL I feel fairly confident we will have an abundance of skill for a long time. 2015 Brock Boeser 23rd No 2nd round Guilliaume Brisbos 66- Solid AHL Season this year Dmitry Zhukenov 114- Prob wont make it but you never know Carl Neill 144- Released this year Lukas Jasek 174 Tate Olsen 210- Released Thats 3-4 NHL players out of that draft.
  7. 1) How many one-times have you seen like that? 2) He plays on the opposite side of Boeser. Can you imagine a 1-2 like that? 3) At the 3/4 mark of the season he only had 12 even strength goals against all year. 4) Most of his goals are all top corner. His wrist shot and one-timer are both incredibly accurate. This kid is going to be a star.... and we are going to see it from game 1 next year. I would bet the farm on it.
  8. He can be dominant... but he has long stretches where he isn't. The defense really helped his number this year.... you can see it in his numbers since Holm was traded. Don't get me wrong, I think he is a stud and a future number 1, it just doesn't makes sense to me to bring someone in as a backup when you have glaring holes in your game. If his tendency to go down early and his glove hand are being exposed by AHL teams he will get eaten alive at the NHL level. Give him more games and wait for him to MAKE us bring him up with his play.
  9. I honestly think there is still to much of a question mark with Markstroms play. Not to mention the teams play in the first quarter of the season. If things go well but there is more weakness on the backend look at a trade to bring in a better goaltender to stabilize Markstrom. If that happens there is no way we see Demko next... and from the sounds of it he needs another full year in UTICA anyway. Why bring him up as a backup when he is still struggling with consistency at the AHL level.
  10. Mine is to.... Just a another joke aimed at R.Dahlin
  11. There..... The ONLY thing wrong with your post
  12. Just wait... Chicago will be back. They are just retooling.
  13. Lind Dahlen Gadjovich Whoever else we nab this year and some great longer term possibilities in.... Palmu Brassard Brisebois Rathbone I am loving our new Canucks.
  14. There was a big list of stars in the Pettersson thread that were all in the 175-185 range. As a play making Ectomorph (Who have the highest strength to weight ratio of body types) 10 pounds should be plenty from him to compete.
