  1. Give it up. Bitcoin can drop to 1 dollar Tmr and CL will still tell you it's a good sign because it started at 1 cent a couple years ago
  2. wow.... ... i try to type something but i will be breaking the forum rule if i do..so.. ya...sure pal
  3. you mean the same scouts who ranked him in the 6th spot ahead of the other prospects that you would like?
  4. a winger who didn't stack his assists in the junior? how dare he?? didn't he play through the season with injury too? that's some pretty good stats for someone who play with injury
  5. enter the Hunter Fan club who would scream this is fake or how Florida doesn't need a prospect
  6. you are using hindsight when you talk about the drafting position tho.. Of course the Flames won't trade Monahan for Reinhart after Monahan performing, but do you actually think they would actually draft Monahan over Reinart if they are in the same drafting year?? Seriously are you saying Monahan could be the first overall pick this year if he's a year younger? The same thing can go with the rest of your examples.. you can't use hindsight to compare two draft years. That goes to your whole thread basically.... No, no one will draft Datsyuk with their top 5 pick in his draft year, but according to your logic Datsyuk's year must be REALLY deep because he was drafted in the fifth round. is the 171th pick in 1998 equal to the first overall pick this year?
  7. lol now you are trying to convince yourself that it's not what Florida wants? on one hand you think we are overpaying for the first overall pick, but on the other hand you think Florida doesn't like overpayment? the reports says it was hunter 6th AND an unname roster player.. I am pretty sure that player is NHL ready. you guys are being hilarious now..This really feels like fantasy hockey now..
  8. 1. you really think Tanev and a 6th would cancel out the threat of playing against Ekblad, Reinhart or Bennet? Seriously you know what i hate? people who want to take advantage of someone, but actually managed to convince themselves they are being fair. FFS we are talking about a defenseman who has 8 goals in 156 games. 2. see #1. 3. Guarantee? did that come from those professionals in TSN? Look at how many teams actually choose a defenseman with a 1 first overall pick, and look at how many of them actually pan out to be the best player in the draft... The odds aren't that great. stop thinking about the third overall pick, the odds that could happen is less than us getting a first overall.... Jesus how easy are fans in vancouver to be manipulate by the media? Suddenly everyone is talking about getting the third overall out of no where.
  9. no? I stated the reason before: 1) That would make it an inner division trade and the Edmonton will want a lot more from us than another team to ensure we don't become a problem later. 2) you may not be able to land Reinhart with a 3d 3) Edmonton probably has no reason to trade down from 3rd. They need a defenseman and if anything goes, they will try to get Ekblad with their 3rd judging by how often top defense prospect drop in draft. In a perfect world if the Edmonton HAS to trade with the canucks the draft pick will be a lot cheaper.. but in the real world no one is pointing a gun on their head to force them to do that.
  10. I actually think Florida would love to have Hunter on their team. What they need now is marketing and exciting hockey and Hunter fits their needs. Playing in Florida allows him to do what he wants as a speedy goal scorer instead force to play a two way game in order to win. He's the perfect marketing machine for Florida. no one will trade their first overall pick for Tanev Hansen and a 6th. I forgot how many times i say this already but you cant just offer spare parts to get something you want. I understand that some people dont agree that it is worth it to include hunter and a 6th in part of the deal to land a first overall, and I am fine with that opinion... but IF you want the first overall pick, this would be the price range that Tallon is looking for in real life.. What i hate to see is that some people on cdc clearly wants the pick, but they try to convince others that the first overall pick would suck (not you)
  11. you seriously want to reply to peaches5? watch out for your heart rate man
  12. you mean there was someone on our team who actually preformed with our last coach?
  13. you mean a defenseman isn't suppose to hit anything he sees?? no way! *shock face*
  14. because: 1. you can tell how good he is from watching him play? 2. I trust our new gm who was a pretty good scout.. Apparently he sees something in Reinhart that makes him want to move up. We dont know how well he can perform under willie D, but hell this could be say to every single player and prospects. Do i want to trade up for Reinhart at the cost of Hunter? Personally i am fine with both but i can see the upside of trading up for Reinhart. From the look of it he will MOST LIKELY turn into a franchise player.
  15. holy shit are you comparing Tanve to Duncan Keith because they have the same amount of goal? I am out. Sorry, i just hit my limit of replying to stupid post per day.
  16. 6 goals in 64 games and he's the cornerstone of this team's future? are you joking? he's a good player, but damn you are making him sound like the next Shea Weber who you can build a team on....
  17. and you would actually take this deal if you are Edmonton? Really? Seriously? you are just making up reasons to convince yourself that Edmonton would want that ridiciulous offer. If anything they would want to trade up for Ekblad, NOT trade down for Tanve and a 6th which would probably turn into a defenseman who is ranked 9th in the North America pool.
  18. because our GM obviously see something in Reinhart? would totally lose the point to trade up if you can't end up with Reinhart. Besides, the 3rd overall pick will turn out to be more expensive than trading for a first because of inter-division trade. O what you actually think we can actually get a 3rd from the oiler without giving up one of our blue chipped prospect?? Think people, think! You actually think Edmonton want to trade down for Ballard raymond and a 6th?
  19. do you have any idea, like any idea, how much would next year's first overall draft would cost? people are talking like other teams actually work for us and will give us their first overall for junks.
  20. not against this trade... it actually make sense... You got to give up talent to get talent... Hunter may turn into an exciting player in the future, but the team need a someone like Reinhart to lead the team when the Sedins era is over. Once Reinhart merge into the team, we will forget how tough it was to lose Hunter..
  21. 1. Wow you got everything reverse man.. A team SHOULD hold onto their high draft pick in a deep draft because it means you will get some pretty good players even without the first overall. a weak draft year means the pool isn't as deep, it doesn't mean teh first overall will be weak. 2. just because someone said something over and over again, it doesn't mean they are saying the right thing. Saying "tank next year for draft pick" is something only a brain dead person can do. In case if you can't understand why I will break it down for you: a) a GM, or litreally any staffs on the team, dont get pay for tanking the team. You think anyone would want to damage their reputation on purpose ? Hell this is vancouver, all it take is a 5 game losing streak and we will see people shouting fire the gm and coach. b)We are NOT Montreal, Edmonton or Toronto. Most people here only follows the team because they are winning. Tanking for another season would create a big loss in profit that could take a couple years to earn back. No sane owner would agree to tank millions of dollars a year so they can earn back the money in the next few years.
  22. there had been bust with those first overall picks, but the chance that happen is next to non. Throughout the history of the NHL there was only a handful of first overall picks that were busts. 99% of the time the first/second overall WILL turn into franchise players. he wasn't cherry picking stats since most of the time the first overall pick IS the best player in first round... or you want to give us some example?
  23. anyone know if there is any AI mod out there that would improve pathing for dead thrall? i started a summoner and really like using dead thrall, but the pathing is just retarded most of the time.... any mod that would actually make their ai more like the dremora lord?
