Has anyone seen Messier play? I'm a little confused to why the Canucks picked this guy. He's in the Q and is putting up poor stats, and to go with that he's undersized.

[Toxic]

But he has plenty of talent, he had some nice numbers last year, and is on pace for similar ones this year, keep in mind alot of players have a worse year after theyve been drafted, they're not unknown players anymore, also he is battling for a good spot on a team loaded with talented Cetnermen (Mathieu Perrault anyone) so he isnt the #1 guy, also he doesnt have very skilled linemates

I liken him to Butcher, jhas the potential, but isnt really on a team that brings that potential out

Hah.

I think more,

McIver
One of Grabner / Simek / Raymond
4th rounder

for

CPZ
3rd rounder

Pittsburgh gets a defenseman who could possibly step up and contribute who probably wouldn't get that opportunity here, they get a winger with a lot of upside and Canucks get a young kid who can play center and possibly step up and play wing with the Sedins....either way he's most likely going to have to convert with Esposito, Crosby and Malkin in Pittsburgh.

[Gnickers87]

just to clarify, my proposal was a joke in response to your sig

I realize determining sarcasm is now impossible on CDC without putting "/sarcasm".

CPZ would be an ideal Sedin style linemate. A pure finisher who is inept at creating opportunities, so he can just stand by the net and wait while not interfering with what they do.

Good news everyone.

HF has not ranked us in the bottom 3rd of the league for their organizational rankings.

Well we've only gotten better since last year. I'm going to predict we're 16th.

I'm surprised Calgary isn't in the bottom 10, who does this team have exactly? Dustin Boyd will be a solid good NHLer, Backlund should become a 2nd Line Center, Puustinen could be a good player one day. But there isn't a lot after that. I am not sold at all on Leland Irving, Kris Chucko is pretty much a bust already, Daniel Ryder has disappeared from the AHL team and Taratukhin probably isn't coming back from Russia.

Maybe I'm being biased, but their prospect cupboard looks very bare.

I wonder who is going to be #1? I think Phoenix, Chicago, St.Louis, Edmonton and the Rangers will be the Top 5. (in no particular order) LA , Washington and Columbus could crack the top 5 as well.

Russian Prospects.com has updated information on Canuck prospect Denis Grot.

Quote

December 2007 Update: Sized two-way defenseman…has developed a bit more into a defensive role with the years, as when he was younger he was more offensive minded…an utility player that can be used in all situation…his skating is good as it always been…has a strong shot but he should use it a bit more, because he has only scored three goals in his RSL career…has a good decision making ability, but needs to improve his passing skills…at once a highly touted player who probably has hit his ceiling and won’t improve dramatically anymore

yeh, moving on up! for too many years they've been in the bottom 10 teams. hopefully with the new scouts they picked up they can keep moving in the right direction

Updated my Moose blog (link in sig) with news on Schneider, Hansen, Balej and a Province article on Raymond.

[Flinch]

Islanders prospect Kyle Okposo has decided to turn pro and signed with the Isles today.

What does this have to do with anything? Well, Okposo was on the top line for the Minnesota Golden Gophers, which means that Patrick White is going to be getting some increased icetime, hopefully.

go white

[Flinch]

Might have spoken too soon.

Apparently Mike Carmen is going to be back next term and he'll essentially offset Okposo leaving.

Gophers fans are livid about this.
