baumerman77 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I don't want any of our junior-eligible players to make this team. That's not to say I don't want them to do well during the pre-season, I just believe junior development is extremely important for 18 and 19 year-olds. Personally, I would love to see the draft move to 19 year-olds instead of 18 year-olds. So few 18 year-olds make the league and even fewer make a significant impact on their team, especially if their team is a "playoff contender". As far as Corrado and Jensen are consider I would also like to see them start the year in the minors so that they can play big minutes and adjust to the pro game. Am I alone here or do others not want our young guns to make this team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pinchin Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Yeah, there has never been any 18 year olds ready for the NHL, we shouldn't trust our team's coaching and management to make the right decisions about our prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Generally, I believe it is best to be as patient as possible. Development time is important. If one forces your hand into to keeping him, you do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyril Sneer Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Nothing worse then biting into a green apple. I'd like to wait till its sweet and delicious rather then forcing the sour one down my throat. Cause I'm hungry now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Profanity Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Just like many questions, the answer is: It depends. Not a lot of young players can make the quick jump and succeed in the NHL level, but that doesn't mean we should develope all our prospects in one single way and route.

Herberts Vasiljevs Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I see Horvat, Shinni and Gaunce all playing their last year in the CHL this season. I think at center we're pretty well set with: Sedin Kesler Schroeder Richardson There's 5 more pre-season games to go so we'll just have to wait and see what happens, but this is just my opinion thus far. Though I must admit, I believe that Shinkaruk is much closer than most people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksSayEh Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I think Schroeder should start at 3C, leaving only a spot for a winger until Booth returns. Corrado may get some time as well, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Well, the last seven years of not playing young guns didn't get us a cup. Why do the same thing if some are ready to go? New coach, new philosophy, new culture ... a good time to do something different. "Don't just stand there, bust a move!" - Tone Loc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I want people on the team who give the Canucks the best chance to win. If that meant re-signing Raymond, then so be it. If the team gels and works well with either one or a combination of Shinkarek, Horvat, or Gaunce, then great. If all the youngsters do is hamper the team, then no.
