Don't crucify me if this has been posted already... but I think it's interesting that Raymond's current numbers are comparable to Stastny's from last year.  

It'd sure be nice to have a rookie like that on our team next year or the year after.

Maybe ...

WOW, best PM ever!:

From Alexander Ovechckin

Do you know what sarcasm is?

If so then why would you think i put the Saborin thing?

But yeah i think McIver is okay but not as decent as Saboruin. So if you could remove me in your sig.

Thanks.

LOL!

Man, AO is a nice guy, but that's just too funny. It's kinda sad in a way. Can't believe he wouldn't go back and figure it out.

Anyways, AO if you're out there, McIver is a defenseman. You're thinking of Drew MacIntyre.

OMG I think hes thinking of McHiver(sp) the goaltender we had last year....

Sounds like Koltsov's team in the RSL only has 2 regular season games left, then I'd assume there's some kind of playoffs after that, but does anyone know if he could come over to the Canucks when he's done there?

No, I don't even think we have a contract with him. Plus, we have plenty of d-men at the moment.

Yes we do have plenty of D men right now, but wouldn't it be nice if one of them wasn't Lukas? Koltsov sounds like he would be waaay better on the PP than Kraijeck.

What reason do you have to think Koltsov is waaay better, besides a bunch of kiddies here on CDC.

Based on his offensive skills and the highlights I have seen from the RSL I honestly think Kolstov would be much better on the PP than Krajicek. I like Krajicek but Kolstov was meant to quarterback a PP.

Based on his offensive skills and the highlights I have seen from the RSL I honestly think Kolstov would be much better on the PP than Krajicek. I like Krajicek but Kolstov was meant to quarterback a PP.

But he's not going to be on the ice for just the PP only. Krajicek and him are both young D-man, that obviously are still developing. The question's remain that they both have PRO'S/CONS to them...

Kolstov Pro's:
-Great on the PP
-Good Speed
-Great skill with the puck

Krajicek Pro's:
-Cheap Salary
-Good Speed
-Humble, good in the room
-Many "good skills", that still need time to develop but does have a promising future ahead.

Kolstov Cons:
-More expensive (Were talking ATLEAST 1.1-1.3 Million to get him to NA)
-May/May not be a team "player", can be cocky and at times has been known to have an ego.
-Weak in down-low coverage
-The Unknown, how much has he REALLY improved since we last saw him, seeing 2-3 highlights doesn't really tell you s*** all.
-He could be expendable with the emergence of Bourdon,Edler, (pending a solid camp), and then if we resign Krajicek

Krajicek Cons:
-Weak down low (on coverage and needs to bulid up upper body strength)
-Was supposed to be a PP specialist but we have seen LITTLE of that, and don't say he hasn't been given the opportunity because he has.
-He could be expendable with the emergence of Bourdon,Edler, (pending a solid camp), and then if we sign Kolstov.


Kolstov Overall Impression: With the quotes that he has said "I want to play in the NHL next season", and how his game has improved (supposibly), I would be happy to see him on the roster, and up until last month would have said that he WOULD be on the roster in 2007-2008. BUT, the way Nonis talked about him, "we know someone's going to score when he's on the ice, we're just not sure what team", I don't know where he ranks currently on the Canucks "scouting department/future plans".



Krajicek Overall Impression: I feel that he is a good quality player for his salary (625,000), and that their is alot of potential in him. I wonder is Nonis will go with him or Kolstov, because I don't believe their is going to be room for BOTH as one of the kids (Bourdon or Edler) WILL make the team out of camp and will be put in larger role getting 13-12 min of ice a game (a Nonis quote on how he wants to develop Luc ect ect).

Anyways, their is definitely lots of questions to be answered for next season.

Well if we can get a good young forward for them..

Gonna have to go with -mball here. From the video's I've seen, he has excellent puck control and passing, and will actually shoot. Last game was the first good shot Kraijeck took. He's had plenty of nice opportunities, with a good screen and an open lane, but he always passes off. How can you be an offensive defenceman that never shoots? I'd like to see Koltsov in a 'Nucks jersey. Obviously I can't say he'd definatley be better than Kraijeck until that happens, but it sure looks to be the case.

[Boudrias]

A lot of what happens on the back end will depend on whether Salo and Sopel are resigned. You have to figure with the options Nonis has that he will trade some dmen for forward depth.

[-mb]

Great job breeze on the comparison. I was simply talking about the PP though. It's impossible to evaluate a player after seeing 2-3 highlights but you can see somethings. And from what I saw, his skating, passing and shooting looked great.

Anyways, like you said questions will be answered if and when Kolstov comes over.

[Toxic]

:evil:
Bjorkloven won their 2nd round series 2-1
So now if they get knocked out, he comes right to Manitoba

[Wadim]

If Koltsov comes over and is used properly by Vigneault (No more then Krajicek's ES minutes + pretty mucht the full 2 of every powerplay) Then I'm sure that fans will LOVE Koltsov's cockiness. He scores highlight reel goals and he celebrates like mad. Notice how no one complains about Ovechkin? Cockiness for hockey players is a great thing since it means they're boasting with confidence.

[Toxic]

Plus in such a great defensive system, Koltsov will either fix his mistakes by being surrounded by so many defensively responsible players, or his gaffs wont be as bad, considering 5 other players are on the ice who can easily make up for it, 5 including some goalie we have
