Go to the Trade Forum I'm sure there is a thread that states:

Naslund for Turris
Mo for Gagner
D.Sedin for Tyrell
H.Sedin for Moller
Bulis for McLean
and then we draft Sutter

Should be a good team

Turris Gagner Pyatt
Moller Sutter Grabner
Raymond Tyrell McLean
Burrows Linden Rypien

[Dortmund]

And people said Carey Price was a terrible pick by MTL. He owned the Moose tonight, only reason why Hamilton won.

[timw33]

Moose Lose 3-2.

Bourdon -2
Edler -1
Raymond -1, 5 shots.
Grabner Even.

There are pictures on the site in the game review (2 of Luc, 1 w/Hansen) But I don't know how to load them on the new boards.

Carey price has really proven himself by carrying the bulldogs to 6 wins in the post season so far and a couple late season wins.

Not to mention WJC gold.

Bourdon:



Raymond:


Hansen (kinda)

[timw33]

Everyone seems to have that Red and Black RBK stick (Hansen, Raymond and Bourdon amongst many NHLers.

[itzabreeze]

Seems like Raymond played a hell of a game getting the 2nd star + having 5 shots

[King of Anarchy]

The Moose are now in a pretty big hole going into Hamilton. Hopefully they can manage to sneak out a couple of Dubs heading back into Manisnowba.

Left Handed Right Winger
Sutter is said to be much more skilled offensively than his father and uncle(s) but with that defensive ability as well. I can see him being taken between 11-20 for sure.

6'3 185 pound RH Centre.

Akim Aliu has a big attitude problem, he has left his team twice (not a team player). I would leave him until the 3rd round.

Brett Maclean, keep in mind that this kid was the winger for one 16 year old phenom named John Tavares, but he seems to have good individual skill as well. Should be a 1st rounder/late 2nd

The thing you don't seem to understand is that we aren't just going to draft a player this year to play with the Sedins the following year, prospects take 2-3 seasons to get into the lineup unless they are a superstar #1 overall pick (Like Crosby, Nash, etc.)

Powerforwards typically take even longer to develop.

We need Centres (Rypien is our top Centre) and we need them to fill the (future) void of Morrison and Henrik. That and being strong down the middle never hurts.

We will not being getting the Sedins a linemate in this draft, we will find one in UFA or someone who emerges in camp (my money is on Hansen).
And Nationality should not matter, we need the best Centre available, we can get some gap toothed Canadian through free agency if need be.

Thanks for the info.....I guess we just hope Sutter makes it down that far in the draft. I agree with the center thing and drafting this year. I like the idea of Moller though....sounds like a guy that could fill in depth at center or even fill in with the Sedin's. I read in his scouting report that he plays a gritty game with the classic Swedish touch for cycling the puck in the corners so I'd like to see him here. I'd like to see Nonis use one of his second round picks for a player to groom as a wingmate for the Sedin's. It would be key to our team to have a young cheap player scoring goals on the Sedin line so the extra money that comes around once Morrison's and Naslund's contracts are expired is used to spend on putting together another quality scoring line. I don't really see any of the prospects we have filling in the roll on the Sedin line.

Nationality shouldn't matter but I think it does when it comes to the playoffs, old argument though. Just my opinion.

my only argument to that is Hockey Night In Canada

Drafting Sutter would be nice but does anyone really think Calgary will pass him up?!

Well that's the thing. The people that are saying "draft a player for the Sedins". (Ihatetomatoes this isn't directed at you, just a rant)

How the mother trucker do we do that?. Unless we are drafting in the top three. NEWSFLASH: We ain't getting a player that has #1 line potential in this years draft. The sad part about this is from now until the draft people will repeat and repeat the same questions over and over again. Sure, a Grabner or Hansen, or a player with 2 legs could *play* with Sedins. But, will they have major sucess?, that is the question that remains.

Exactly, we won't draft a guy to be their linemate, because the by the time this years draftee is ready to play 1st line minutes, the Sedins will be 31.

I can see Sutter being drafted either by Cgy or by one of Edmonton's 3 1st rounders.

Bourdon debuts well
Rookie defenceman impresses in turns with Moose


by Tim Campbell, Winnipeg Free Press
THE Manitoba Moose figured there was no time like the present to get rookie defenceman Luc Bourdon's feet wet.

The 20-year-old first-round draft pick from 2005 has already played nine games in the NHL with the Vancouver Canucks, but Sunday night's Game 2 of the second-round playoff series was a different, pressure-filled situation.

"I knew it was going to be a bit of trial by fire in a pressure situation," said Moose head coach Scott Arniel. "I thought at times he handled himself well. I think the more he plays, the more he'll get comfortable and get used to the speed, which is the biggest thing coming from junior hockey.

"Early signs, we liked a lot of things he did."

Bourdon spent the season in the QMJHL and joined the Moose late last week when his Cape Breton team was eliminated from the playoffs.

"I didn't really expect to play tonight," Bourdon said after his first AHL game. "I think just being on the ice and getting a chance to live this is the best experience so far." The Canucks, of course, were here watching one of their top prospects.

"I like the way he's in control, he moves the puck hard and he can bump some guys," said Lorne Henning, the former NHL player and head coach who is Vancouver's director of player personnel. "I watched him at the World Junior when he played there. He skates well and moves the puck well and I thought he started this game very well."

Sunday night, Bourdon played about eight minutes, mostly with Dustin Wood, but was a minus-two because of a couple of rough spots.

He got caught a bit too far to the middle in the first period when Hamilton's Cory Urquhart scored on the right down the right wing, then got muscled away from the puck near the net when the Dogs got a third-period goal from Maxim Lapierre.

Henning said that Moose fans should be cautious at the start when it comes to expectations for Bourdon.

"I think it's always tough to come right in," Henning said. "Mason Raymond has come in, but he's a couple of years older and a little more experienced and he's been a good player. Luc will be, too.

"I think if you expect it of him in the first game, the first couple of games, well, he's just getting used to the pace and the speed of the game and he's going to be good, whether it's three of four games from now or tonight."

Bourdon said he was disappointed his first game ended in a loss, 3-2 to the Dogs, which put the Moose down 2-0 in the series. "It was great, obviously being part of a playoff series is always something fun but unfortunately we lost the game so I think you can always give a little more when you lose," he said. "I haven't been a part of this team but it's always fun to be around and at this level, it'll be something special.

"It's a little different, new system, new everything, but the guys are really good here, good people and they've really made me feel comfortable."

[Edler #23]

atleast they see a lot of positives in Bourdon's game.

I hope he can improve and move on in the playoffs.

[natedog]

Pretty hard to step in after ending a great junior career. Give him a few games and im sure that -2 wont be happening.

[itzabreeze]

Slow day for prospects.... so, on to the Scott Arniel Bashing!!

You got that right... Moose should be ashamed of themselves, back to back home playoffs games in which nothing changed. Same "dump it in" crap. Classic Winnipeg Jets move! BOOOOOOOOOOOORING. This is the 3rd year in a row we had potential and blew it. Are we going to go for a forth next year? Or is this organization going to wake up and start rebuilding? Because Lee Goren is a joke, he has shown me that he isn't all that we thought he was. 3-2 in the final 3 minutes and still dumping and chasing, try carrying it in and doing something different, Arniel is a tool! He changes nothing and when he does it either makes no sense or does it way to late. I'm sick of this! We support this team game after game, loyal as heck and this is the way the team treats the fans!!!
Shame on you Moose!!! Get out the brooms! Anyone who honestly thinks they are coming back is sadley mistaken. We know it's done. Bulldogs want it more. I'm sick of this, As a true fan I have had enough! We support like hell and they don't back us up! Nice choke fools!

Did anyone just see what Arniel said as a post game interview???

Get this idiot out of here!!!!!

I'm done with this Team!

Have agreat golf game Meese!

Unfortunately I have a feeling Arniel is going to stay a while. He's not good enough for anyone else to want him. He played one line all year and now its backfiring because no one else has any cheminstry to accomplish anything else in terms of scoring. He's a putz.

Reidfan Wrote: LMAO if this is the same "Reidfan" thats posts on cdc. He's just he is bitter because Reid sucks. Good day to you!.

I think coach Arniel needs to turn off his phone and computer. Break off all communications with the Canucks until AFTER the Calder Cup run. Enough with showcasing the Vancouver prospects to see how they perform under pressure. Enough with expecting rookie mistakes after all. this is playoffs NOT the time to look into Vancouver's future but our own. If the Canucks want to see their prospects perform under pressure than I suggest they find a way to go deep into the playoffs themselves and call them all up and insert them into their line-ups. I am not criticizing the prospects just pointing out that now is not the time to test the waters. On a side note, Raymond had a chance to get his feet wet before the pressure level rose and he is a keeper.

LMFAO.
