  1. This brings a smile to my face to watch. The guy is electric out there. After seeing him with Cecconi I could see him pairing quite well with a big stay at home D-man who can make a good hard d to d pass. A guy like Gudbranson could flourish beside Hughes. I just hope he would be smart enough to leave the ego at the door and pass the puck to Hughes. Pairings I would be excited to see next year are: Edler - Stecher Juolevi - Tanev Hughes - Gudbranson Pouliot/Hutton/Del Zotto - Biega
  2. I think OJ is going to be a 25 minute per night D-man that plays against the league's tops players, complements an offensive defenceman, is a set up guy on the PP, and who is on the ice for more goals for than goals against. OJ is the type of guy that will get better and better with each passing year.
  3. Have you never made a mistake Alf? Cause we still trust you not to eat the cat
  4. If Tampa traded Cal Foote to us for anyone on our roster I would be pleasantly surprised. Doubtful, but dreamy.
  5. Man, given that he is gone, I was then hoping for Robert Thomas at 33 lol
  6. I'm not sure what the fascination is with defining what a rebuilding move is. From my perspective; if you trade Tanev, a top d-man, for a prospect and a 1st, then yes, that is a "rebuilding move". Maybe if you trade Tanev for Kane, that would be considered a "retooling move". All that aside, who knows if Tanev even moves. If he does move, who knows what player we even pick. All I know is that it's a semi beautiful day and I am jumping on the Goose for a ride to Sooke. Cheers, Alfie.
  7. I just don't see a new GM trading his best winger and top ten draft pick for a shutdown D-man. If anything I could see Tanev for Kane straight up. It is already clear we covet Kane. Just need them to covet Tanev too, imo.
  8. I don't think we need 3rd overall to find a top 5 talent. I think certain players will slip to the mid first due to various issues such as: Kostin - Injury Pettersson - Toughness Yamamoto - Size If we trade Tanev. I prefer we trade him for one of the three previous players, plus an additional solid prospect. Vs make a big trade with him for a top three pick. I especially don't think we need to trade a Tanev for a Makar because imo we have Subban and Stecher who will step up next year and become the PP puck moving defensemen that are so coveted by management.
  9. I want Cody Glass at #5. Trade Taney for a mid first and a prospect. Then draft Pettersson, Kostin, or Yamamoto with the mid first. That is my dream right now. Cody Glass is long term BPA at 5 imo.
  10. I read on here that Liljegren is off our radar. I guess now, for C picks I like Petersson. Dude has some high skills. I also really like Norris. Even more so now with combine showing he is a physical specimen. Getting him to develop in Michigan with Lockwood would be deadly imo.
  11. Personally I would stay away from Mittelstadt. I like him as a player. Honestly, he is fun to watch. But I have said it before and I say it again. If any kid would stay in college 4 years go to FA and stay in Minnesota. I think it be Casey.
  12. I believe that Liljegren is BPA for Canucks if available at 5. I like watching him play. He is excitingly tenacious and skilled. I also like that it hasn't been easy for him, the illness that is. I believe Liljegren could make the Canucks next year. He is pissed off and ready to prove himself imo.
