nuck nit Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Kassian can't score in the AHL, yet he's putting up the same amount of points Hodgson did. Right. And I think everyone's in consensus that Suave was a poor pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baercheese Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I see that Banned has rubbed off on you. Spare me the trolling claim - it's pathetic. Bad contracts added under Feaster: Cammalleri Hudler Cervenka Wideman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baercheese Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I didn't say he had to make it right away. All you have to do is look at drafting history to realize that 95% of 7th round picks don't make the NHL. The odds are greatly against him. As for Labate, I bet he gets closer to the NHL than DeBlouw. He's probably just going through a sophomore slump right now. He's still got 2 and a half more years at Wisconsin (great hockey program), before we'll be able to see what kind of player he'll be. He's got size and skating going for him. That gives him a leg up.

DeNiro Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Kassian has been benched and has just slightly more than half a PPG to Cody's full PPG.Time to clue in. Sauve will be an NHL 'er long before Connauton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 TSN just released their special: Top 30 Prospects Canucks were the only Canadian team without a prospect in the top 30. Time to face the music.Luckily,it's Christmas music and you may have bought some brandy or whiskey by now. Hodgson got two points tonight and scored the winning goal in the shoot out. PPG + stats now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Cammalleri- got rid of a lazy Rene Bourque and his 3.8M contract. Pretty obvious who the better player is in this deal Hudler-Top 6 forward Cervenka-entry level contract? Not sure what you expect. Wideman-50 point defenseman? YA NONE OF THOSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hodgson at 21, not Hodgson at 22 Clue in. Kassian put up a point a game on that same Rochester team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 This has to be the worst argument I've seen, lol Wouldn't it make it more impressive for a rookie on a weaker Michigan Tech team to produce almost PPG while doing almost 60% on his draws, which most are in the defensive zone?

nuck nit Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Tanev wasn't signed to anyone. He cost us no pick at all. Getting an NHL player whose got a hell of a defensive game at his age is quite the foundation to build on. His offensive contribution is already visibly better. Better deal than any draft.

Baercheese Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Cammalleri - the 6 million dollar 19/20 goal scorer Hudler 4 million - Mason Raymond .48 ppg NHL career. Hudler .52 playing with superstars. Cervenka - 3.8 million - zero games in the NHL Wideman - 5.25 million dollars - 50 points in 2008. If you are claiming Connauton can't defend, wait until you get a whiff of Wideman lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromeslab Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Our drafting doesn't suck but our development does,the past two years we should have relied a little bit more on prospects during regular season,but in the chase of the almighty presidents trophy this organization/coaching staff has some how forgotten this.

Baercheese Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 No because if you followed college hockey you would know that Michigan Tech is tied for second last with Wisconsin in the WCHA. I never said Wisconsin was a good team, I said they have a good program. Meaning good facilities, trainers, and coaches. What they don't have right now is alot of high end talent.

oldnews Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 It was Rene Bourque at 3.8 or Cammy for 6. For 2.2M more I'll gladly take Cammy Hudler has been a consistent 40+ point top 6 forward. 50+ points more than one season like Raymond. Not sure how you value those, but 4M sounds about right. Cervenka will only get 3.8 if he meets his bonuses, otherwise it's 925K base salary. And if he gets 3.8M, then he will be well worth his contract. Did Wideman not get 46 points last year? Pretty darn close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baercheese Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 You can't really blame Sutter when Bouwmeester at 6.7 and Stajan at 3.5 were their worst contracts - add those four to the list and the Flames bang for your buck, which is what building a team under the cap is all about, is not looking very promising. On top of that, the fact that they are in the ownership hardliner group is as ridiculous at Minnesota's gigantic contradictions, going from free agent insanity to CBA hawks - ridiculous. Calgary is in no position to hardline - they have spend money as stupidly as anyone in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
