Forsberg is a little heavier isn't he? go Burrows go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played five game his first season, bounced between the NHL and AHL the next year; then he started lighting it up in season #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a 20 year old in his second year he played the full season and had 63 points. Forsberg is a much bigger player than Dahlen so my main concern with Dahlen is his size and how he will handle the more rigorous NHL game. But he has plenty of speed and good bloodlines so I'm hopeful he turns into a 20 goal scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldy played junior in Canada. He's been playing hockey in North America for 5 years. His English is fine. I think he's less likely to bolt to the KHL.

You must be referring to Filip Forsberg as Foppa never played in the AHL. Both good, but only one great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Hope his game translates to North America signings good news but pr man linden knew they better do something quick with tryamkin leaving, the black cloud looms thick over bennings Canucks.

Borvat Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I hope they let these kids play. The AHL isn't always the answer and I for one am okay watching these kids develop and the losing that may go with it. But then again I don't buy season tickets so there is that. If they are physically and mentally ready I say let them learn at the highest level.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there are too many Peter Forsberg's hanging around on NHL rosters these days. He is a legend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to enjoy North America fine but wouldn't hurt if Canucks could add a Russian or Latvian who understands Russian to help him feel more comfortable if possible. Give Pedan Sbisa's spot when he is traded or picked up by Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a long time since we had so much skill down there. Why is Virtanen in that list, he's one of the lowest skilled guys on team. Goldy is well above him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldy is well above him Dude, The Jake hate train has left the station, looks like you missed that. Jake has already shown himself on to the path to redemption. Jake has good skill, next to Boeser he probably has the best shot on the team, likely the hardest hitter on the entire forward corps and likely the best north south skater on the team. He has skill, it was fitness and improper training that held him back last season. Common rookie mistake. Really hope he learned that he needs to focus on cardio and stamina vs strength. He naturally has a lot of strength, more than many. It's keeping his wind up that is important. He needs a setup man to be really effective, don't think that is Cassels. He was lacking fitness. See the pic of him in preseason and the one taken near the end of his first season in Utica. One of the best things about the Green hire is that Jake might have his trust. Green does seem to get more out of players like Jake and Baer than WD ever did. A young coach with a penchant for getting more out a roster than he should. That is a reason to watch next year.

Odd.

Dahlen has it built in olli doesn't to my knowledge. Pretty sure that can't happen unless London gives the go-ahead. Which I doubt they would. Besides, London has one of the best junior programs out there. Another year in junior wouldnt hurt if he's not ready for the NHL. Then ideally 1 year in utica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 well as a leader for the team and management Linden should see younger players this off season to make sure they know what is needed from them to take the next step and I think if sbisa is gone that does open the door for Olli to step up if he has a good off season of training, same with Dahlen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought some decent play, hitting and toughness to the line up this year and he is much much better at any mesurable skill to Not-so-Gudbrannson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
