  1. I dunno, I think Pettersson will be just fine when he makes the jump to the NHL. Do you hope Hughes makes you eat humble pie next year?
  2. Who's making him out to be generational? I didn't realise the term allowed for 2 (Hughes and Dahlin) generational talents in the same generation?
  3. I don't buy this. They take the best player available; which will be Hughes regardless but not because of marketing. Skill and winning hockey games sell more tickets than brothers.
  4. I don't know what either of these 2 words mean but I agree.
  5. I'm sorry to crush your conspiracy theory but Bettman doesn't decide the outcome of the draft lottery.
  6. Disagree. Cam Robinson says if he were to play on the Canucks today he'd be their best skating defense man. That says a lot.
  7. My understanding is they can sign him, he just can't play >9games. Same reason why McLellan benched Bouchard 4 games in a row. Chiarelli, stupidly wanted Bouchard to play, McLellan refused to play him, protecting him from the expansion draft. Edit: someone mentioned this might work differently for NCAA players?
  8. You'd be one of the few. Scouts are pegging him as only a step behind McDavid.
  9. Not disagreeing overall but I can name one this season. Brannstrom.
  10. In fact if I remember correctly you're from Australia. If you follow rugby league at all you'd understand my above point even better. After every game, FB posts for the NRL are littered with hundreds of fans complaining about the officiating and saying the league favours specific teams (e.g. #penaltybroncos).
  11. Then why are you still here? No offense but your belief the league has it out for a bottom 5 team tells me more about you than it does the league. Like someone else pointed out no fan base is happy with the officiating in ANY sport and for as long as I've been watching it's pretty common knowledge the rules change at least slightly during the playoffs.
  12. The kid looks like he has some massive legs on him.
  13. Fair enough but for those of us who aren't scouts it's the next best thing. You can't scout based only off stat sheets.
  14. My motivation is that I care about the young mans life and hope he gets the help he needs. Video game addiction isn't something that is generally taken seriously and if any light being shone on it can help someone seek help than that is a positive. I've seen what addiction can do first hand. If this puts me in an "interesting light", and you assuming I'd have any other reason to take interest in it, puts you in a good light then so be it.
