ShakyWalton Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Not looking forward to playing against this kid 6 times a year down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Just if JB was able to pry the 10th from the ducks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerEpic5 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 If we hadn't gotten Virtanen, I would have hoped Benning to get this kid. But thats only IF Virtanen wasn't available.. solid pick for the Ducks as he's going to become a hard player to play against. We don't want another Lucic(minus the behavior) running around in west..

Gstank29 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 i say this kid won't become more the a 2/3 liners IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Have the we should have drafted Ricthie threads started yet? How about the Anaheim should have given us the 10th benning failed threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggy Bank Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Had we taken Nichuskin over Horvat, and got the 10th in the Kesler trade.... Jensen (6'3) Gaunce (6'2) Kassian (6'3) Nichushkin (6'4) Virtanen (6'1) Ritchie (6'3) Move Virtanen to C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a hot head too. In the playoffs he seemed to cause alot of ruckus at the end of games. No, he doesn't randomly punch guys in the head like Lucic (and at times, Kassian) but he can be very agitating to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dal Colle Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Gaunce isn't a 1st line center. Gaunce is more of our future 3rd line centre at best 2nd line centre if he beats out Horvat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rypien37 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Kid is going to be a beast. Still wish we had taken him. Not saying Virtanen was a bad pick, but having both Kassian and Ritchie in our top 6 would have been ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Meh, Nicole Richie is wore out. She will never amount to anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfstonker Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Happy with our picks. Glad we took who we took. I'm not sour enough to say Ritchie will only be a 3rd liner but I think our picks will be definite 1st, 2nd liners with as much grit (if we are talking McCann) and more skill and hockey IQ if we are talking Virtanen. Don't forget he is not likely to be pushing Tryamkin 6'-7"@ 230+lbs, Mackenzie 6'-3" @ 240+ lbs, MacEneny 6'-2"@ 210 +lbs or Cederolm 6'-2 @ 210+ lbs about Even our goalies of Lack at 6'-4" 195 lbs and Demko at 6'-4" @ 200 lbs won't be looking up at him Beattie, Gaunce, Martin, Petit, and Zalewski are all 6'-2" or over and hovering around the 210 lbs mark I don't think we will be too troubled, especially having a GM like Benning. If he was to see a deficit I have no doubt he would address it. In the end it is high end skill and hockey IQ combined with good coaching that will get the job done.

73 Percent Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Me to i think most of us wanted him in stead of virtanenwell there you go all the 12 year olds wanted chubs McGhee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJamIam Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 well there you go all the 12 year olds wanted chubs McGhee. If we weren't taking Virtanen, it was going to be a skilled guy like Nylander or Ehlers. Ritchie wasn't going until 9th at the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchie wasn't going until 9th at the earliest.I just can't help but think that he was effective because he has 30 pounds over every other player in the league. Even if its 30 pounds of fat... he looks like a white Cleveland junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
