Rollieo Del Fuego Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 They rated our core 4 player's under 24 years old at #21 of 30 teams last year.... This year they have us at #10 and are calling us the "wild card"....here is a copy paste: 10. VANCOUVER CANUCKS PLAYER AGE 2017-18 GP G A PTS 1. Bo Horvat, C 22 Vancouver 18 7 7 14 2. Brock Boeser, RW 20 Vancouver 15 5 10 15 3. Elias Pettersson, C 19 Vaxjo (SHL) 16 6 12 18 4. Thatcher Demko, G 21 Utica (AHL) 7 4-2-1 1.85 .939 Last Year: 21st (+11)Aged Out: Ben HuttonScoop: The Canucks are the true wild card of the Core Four, because unlike the other teams in the Top 10, half of their entry is based on projection. But with Peterson lighting up the Swedish Hockey League and a potential No. 1 netminder in Demko, we’ll take that bet. They’d join Boeser, who is already a point-per-game player and a natural born leader at centre in Horvat ready to take over for the Sedins.

48MPHSlapShot Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Cool. Wonder where it'll sit next year after we draft Dahlin.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhukini Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 They’ve got Calgary too high at 8h I think, other than that I think they did a good job with the top 5, Toronto is deservedly first. very jealous of Tampa though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 That could be such a good group of four players, it's delicious. Now if only we had a stud defenseman in the works... Seems like Juolevi is doing well in Finland so there is yet still hope for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Well I wouldn't give TSN too much credit - they basically threw in the Canucks as an afterthought and made certain readers knew their inclusion was based heavily on 'projection' just to slightly dilute their COMPLETE toronto bias.

Nucker 67 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 The future looks bright. Can't wait to see Pettersson in a Canucks uniform. I agree that it would be nice to add another top D, to compliment Juolevi and Brisebois. I also have high hopes for Chatfield. And you never know, Tryamkin could return some day.

ReggieBush Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I know Button is high on our pool of prospects. I know he was the voice in that discussion that put Vancouver high. Servelli only watches Eastern Teams and the Peg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluralsight Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 TSN just creating this "Core Four" ranking to put the Laffs in 1st. I doubt they'll continue with this "annual" ranking once the Laffs prospect pool starts to trend downwards. Typical Maple Leafs fluff piece.

goalie13 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I saw the article. To me it was just another excuse for TSN to talk about the Leafs. They have only been doing this ranking for two years, coinciding with the drafting of Matthews.. Do you think they would be doing it at all if the Leafs still sucked and had no hope for the future? I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
