Smashian Kassian Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I think our biggest mistake was the Coho trade. The Ballard Trade. the Neely Trade. Heck we can even throw the Stojanov trade in there too, he was going to be a star. Derp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Such topics are the point of this thread. Its cool to be critical, in the end we are all cheering for the same team. Shouldnt be any "quit whining" in here. Gotta learn from the mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surtur Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I don't know, he's a 5th round pick so I don't think he will ever make it anywhere, I think he got the invite to the selection camp just cause Hockey Canada felt bad for him, since he has been such a letdown with those massive expectations of being a 5th round pick.

Smashian Kassian Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I think it was a huge mistake taking him so early in the draft it puts way to much weight on his shoulders to ensure he doesn't let anyone down.I think if they didn't draft him at all he might have a chance.

WEwantCUP Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Fortunately the game is played on the ice (when it's actually being played), not on message boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Please tell us how Cody would turn the series with LA facing Mike Richards every time he was on the ice. That would be the matchup Sutter would dream of and would be Vignaults nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Justin Schultz is the next John Slaney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. White Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Jeez why would the Canucks cut Corrado from the world junior team AND injure Brendan Gaunce?? Terrible move on the Canucks part *sarcasm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 In my opinion, it is far too early to tell who is more beneficial to their respective team. For all we know, Garrison could be money well spent in terms of his contract and Schultz could be unable to adapt to the NHL game. We won't know until the lockout is over..

King of the ES Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Okay so he is leading the AHL in scoring, great. What about his defesive game? When he gets to the NHL and is average offensively, or slightly above average offensively at best in his first year. How good will his defensive game be? Will he be reliable?

King of the ES Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 By big gamble he means cap hit (3.6) for a guy who has never played an NHL game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I think this thread can best be described by "nuck nit and King of the ES make absurd claims about a sport they know nothing about and a whole bunch of people make the mistake of thinking that their ignorance will come to a sudden halt when faced with facts." Myself included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Standard ELC deal for any top draft picks - for which Schultz would certainly qualify. And he's now far less risky than your standard high draft pick, given what he's proven to do in the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice orca Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Except he wasn't proven when his deal was signed. Nor does AHL success automatically translate into NHL success. The only thing Edmonton offered that Gillis wouldn't was guaranteed minutes. What contender would guarantee a rookie, who hasn't played a single pro game against adults, ice time? None. Only a bottom feeder would do that. So he signed with a bottom feeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Yeah everybody here is ragging on the Canucks for not doing enough to land Shultz but other teams like the Rangers walked away after talking to him. Top teams with winning tough coatchs like Torts or Babcock or Vignault are not going to put a raw rookie into the top 4 paring at the expense of a proven d-man. Shultz got what he wanted and good for him but his Lebron-esk attitude and snubbing of the team who drafted him should send alarm bells to a lot of people here.
