  1. Axel Holmström isn't even ranked in the top 50 Euros. Could be a steal in the later rounds. 6' 200lbs. Linemate of Nylander in the U18s.
  2. Jake Virtanen: "After growing up a loyal fan of the Canucks and Captain Trevor Linden..." *cough*hometowndiscountwhenweresignhim*cough*
  3. I guess those reps are safe untill the moon comes out: Travis Viola
  4. Would you take their 4th overall and their 2015 1st rounder? I would.
  5. I'll be shocked if Ekblad doesn't go #1. Do we then trade the #1 to Edmonton (most likely the highest return for him) for #3 overall + prospects/picks? I think so. Then by winning the lottery, we pick up #4 overall (still a blue chip forward) + at least 1 2nd rounder and/or high-end prospect. I wonder if Edmonton/Calgary/Buffalo would trade us their 2015 first round pick for our 2014 6th (or 7th) overall pick?
  6. I'd be really happy but highly unlikely. He is in the top 5 of best Dman available. He'd drop if he was 5'11 and under 180. Certainly be a nice snag at ~ #36.
  7. Everyone knows Ehlers plays with Drouin - without looking, Mantha plays with who? If Drouin is this super hockey god as several posters have argued, then we shouldn't pick Ehlers.
  8. Drouin is still a more complete player. Just stating Drouin should have had a better season. His value has dropped off a bit considering other players have played well in the NHL and scored 20+ goals (Monahan). I know the Q's stats are inflated due to their emphasis on offence. Just because a player scores a lot in juniors, it doesn't always translate to points in the NHL. Mantha improved significantly over his draft year and is closing the gap between the two.
  9. Why are you resorting to name calling and then boasting about your posts? Please stick to the topic. CDC deserves better.
  10. He played 1 more game in the World's yet Mantha outpointed him there. Mantha was more of a gamble. Drouin hasn't really increased his output. Mantha has, thus he has progressed more than Drouin. Keep trolling though.
  11. You probably only read the last 2 lines, right?
  12. In last 2 years: Mantha = 117 goals to Drouin = 88 Mantha is 6'5 - 205lbs Drouin is 5'11 - 185lbs
  13. Not the defenseman! Like Ehlers, Moller lit up his home league (Sweden) as an underager playing with the older kids. He brought his game to North America and lit up the WHL. Drafted #52 overall he continued to score in the WHL and had a decent debut with the Kings. He could'nt find his consistency and was just an above average AHL'er. He plays in his homeland now.
  14. 7-2 Win over Guelph. Horvat had an assist.
  15. Have a look at Oscar Moller's stats if you like what you see in Ehlers. ****************************************************************************************************************************** From the 2013 Draft - as far as I'm concerned, Anthony MANTHA has progressed ahead of Drouin.
  16. I haven't seen one of our prospects be that good at faceoffs in a long time. He was killing it even at the World Jrs (except that one he lost that went into the net).
  17. He was credited with scoring Erie's second goal. His 5th.
  18. I wouldn't trade up for anyone. I am a hoping Nick Ehlers falls to us but here is my the 7 that I rate before him that I believe the Canucks should take as BPA: Ekblad - Clearly the top pick in the draft. Reinhart - Best of the bloodline. Dal Colle - Only higher selection for the Canucks than Bennett because he is Cassels' team mate Bennett - smaller but grittier than Dal Colle but basically 50/50 with him Draisaitl - solid no risk Virtanen - solid home-grown product. Canucks rarely do this but this is one they should go for if selecting this high r if still available. Perlini - I see this guy getting 100+ points w/ Niagara next yr Ehlers - best skills but high risk. Top Q skater available. I am more excited to miss the playoffs and grabbing one of these guys. No way do we do anything past surprising StLouis.
  19. Alain Vigneault to be named Dallas stars head coach next week.
