The lion will hunt you down!!! Was surprised when the Canucks announced Pod, was thinking Caufield or Boldy but damn if he isn't another hit out the park!! Welcome to the Canucks Vasili, cannot wait to see what kind of damage you can do over in the KHL and soon enough over here with Bo or Petey!!
Just looking at Tom Wilsons transition since he entered the NHL, in his age 22 year he had 7g/12a over a full season. He had already been in the league prior for 3 seasons w/similar results w/the exception of his 2nd year where he spent 2 games in the AHL and had an injury w/missed time. Jake is 22yrs old and had 15g/10a in 70 games played. Wilson started being more productive at age 23 two seasons ago with 14g/21a followed by 22g/18a this last season. Wilson has been in the league for 6 years now and no one is really questioning him on the ice except his dirty hits lol. I am hoping we hold onto Jake and he gets a 2 year show-me deal and see what kind of damage he can do in the next 2 years.
As long as he can still skate like the wind, throw big checks, and shoot a few inches lower than the cross bar, I will be ok with it... next year hope to see 20 goal floor and 25 goal ceiling, if he can stay consistent
not sure, I just saw it pop up on twitter the other day and I surf twitter all the time for canucks related issues... (haven't seen it before what I meant to say)
Went back about 3 pages to see if anyone had posted this or not and man is there a few heated debates going on about Shotgun here... Wonder what Jakes summer time training routine is this year?
Let's just say he comes over and plays RHD, who does he play with? Edler or Hutton.. I am assuming Green and Benning would want to keep Schenn chained to Hughes hip for the season for protection. You think that Hughes-Schenn can become the no.2 d pairing and a pair of Hutton/Juolevi-Tryamkin would work?
Dipietro should be making more noise in this thread, man 12-0 going into the championships, as someone above said earlier, he is a brick wall when he has to be... Can't wait to see him go to Utica next year, kid is a keeper
