JohnLocke Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 So, out of 30 teams, Canucks are the one and only team that doesn't have any prospect in the World Juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMBUTANS Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Another complete lie. Name an avalanche prospect in the WJC. I bet you can't. Do some research before you post. Stop trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. White Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 COilers have a crapload of premium prospects. Phlegms have Basrtschi and that American, Minny has Granlund and Coyle, Colorado has someone. The Canucks have nothing except Honzik and Labate. Should get a top 5 pick in this year's draw and also trade Luo for a 1st rounder as well Ballard for NYIs 3rd and Grabner. Finally, try to get back Hodgson for Kassian, if possible.

King of the ES Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Ok. 2 out of 30. That makes you feel better? Colorado has still better prospects than Canucks. Not to mention, their young leader Landeskog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyosama Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Most fans on this site don't enjoy being served the cold, hard truth, whether that's about Hodgson/Kassian, Justin Schultz, the weak prospect pool, etc. You're deemed a "troll" for bringing up a very valid point, that the Canucks have nobody in the WJC's, and that whether that should be cause for concern for the future. The "we're the best team" argument doesn't fly, as I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that Boston has 5 prospects partaking in the tourney, ranking at the very top of the league.

Jägermeister Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 In the next 5 or 10 years, barring something completely amazing, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see us drop among the bottom of the barrel in the West for a few seasons. Sure we have some good prospects, but even if they all reach their potential, we won't exactly be a powerhouse. It happens to pretty much every team after their window closes, and sure, it might be a few tough seasons, but it will give us time to restock our prospect pool and get another solid roster in the following years.

thehamburglar Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Jensen and Corrado are two guys that we really should be excited for. Jensen has excelled/done very well in each league making his way here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yes very much. Canucks are a pretty old team and Jensen is the only exciting skater prospect right now. That's the other reason why the Grabner trade shocked me. Not only did the team give up on Grabner they traded away a first rounder. I'd love to see that excitement again that a young Linden/Bure brought to the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamJamIam Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 A clue to CDCers: if a thread is complaining about the Canucks' past decisions or worrying about the future, it is only worth responding to if it was not created by Mr Reputable, King of the ES or nuck nit. These three are likely high schoolers with little else to do and so create the same threads with the same messages over and over. Save yourselves and resist temptation to respond to their nonsense.

Darkstar Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Do we really need a topic on this every day? It's obvious by now that the Canucks' future isn't that bright. No need to reiterate the same topic over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Congratulations King - you just resurrected one of the worst comparisons in Canuck's history. Apologies for resorting to facts, but by the time Linden was Hodgson's age, he already had: Three 30 goal seasons, including a 30 goal rookie season at 18 years of age in which he was team MVP and runner up to Brian Leetch as rookie of the year in the NHL. Scored over 250 points in the NHL. Was the youngest player in the NHL allstar game at 21 years of age. Had already been named Captain of the Canucks. Bure tied the Canucks rookie scoring record at age 20, and then went on to score 60 goals as a 21 year old, and another 60 as a 22 year old. Hodgson...(22 years old, with a 19 goal, 22 assist season under his belt)...definitely comparable, muahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
