  1. better than Eklund :3 or any of those guys on 1040....
  2. Trotz*** would be nice, he'd be like the defensive Lindy Ruff hiring of the offseason haha
  3. As much as he "helps" Chiarelli ... his drafting/scouting looks horrible :/ seems pretty stubborn, once he has a bad sense of a player, he would push for a change to be done (Behind the B's, Tyler Seguin trade segment) Sure he drafted some guy name Tomas Vanek, but more misses than hits during his tenure there. Which is why I really like Mike Futa from the LA Kings. Pearson, Toffoli Sure Jim Benning is a frontrunner, but will he say yes? According to Jason Botchford - the guy might not even accept the offer
  4. why the heck do the passport details even matter are all Swedes softies? are all Fins agitators? all Canadians have heart?
  5. Looking to get rid of thunder thighs, any suggestions on workouts peeps?
  6. Until we get a new GM there's now way of predicting what he would like to do with this team and pick
  7. bet half this 30 something page thread isn't even about Ehlers but personal insults & other prospects & trade proposals including this post... ish. #TeamEhlers
  8. i wish we could just swap our 1st round pick with another team's 1st round pick just for giggles see who wins the lottery next year when everyone gets the chance to do so
  9. nice write up but basing on Bob Mackenzie's scenarios/personal proposals he suggested the Canucks should package their #6 and a dmen for Florida's #1 to draft Reinhart cause they need a C ... I'm guessing that they're still looking for a top 6 C in the making so... Would be 1. Reinhart 2. Ekblad AS MUCH as I want a Team Canada caliber dmen not in the name of Dan Hamhuis (who I think is our best D on the team)
  10. I don`t believe neither of those two (Ritchie & Virtanen) has the hockey sense and IQ as their game seems darn one dimensional (i don`t like using that term but Virtanens' an one trick pony. what i meant was: many people think drafting with size is #1 priority.. i want a blend of both IQ + skill. that's the reason why Reinhart & Bennett are up there in the rankings. They're not "dynamic" like McDavid /Eichel in any way. those comparisons are the worse case scenarios. welsh is known for his great skating with that size and shot. of course. i admit i messed up on the Welsh comparison. Lupul/Kreider ... heard attitude/consistency is an issue
  11. Same goes for those guys that want size.. we have plenty of size. Especially when our team ain't suited for a LA Kings team. Size & IQ is another thing. which Ritchie/Virtanen doesn't have. I rather go with IQ and an improving player than seeing this one guy playing the same game for the next 10 years if he even makes it to the NHL Worse comes to worse, Virtanen = Jeremy Welsh & Nick Ritchie = Tom Wilson So I'm all for Ehlers/Draistrl/MDC/Kapanen if any of them are available
  12. I think Gaunce may eventually be stuck under Cassels with Cassels as 3C Gaunce as 4C. at the end of the day we should be happy when they both make it to the big show. Anyone remember Friesen? remember how he was one of the top faceoff and defensive players in the O? ... barely got games in for Utica this year
  13. Hmm. Technically, we are. Buying tickets and merchandise.. I think at least one of my nickels have went into their salary pay But who spends 25M all on their d, including the 5th & 6th dmen ... I'm thinking his time will be in 2 years. If we re-sign Santorelli this Summer it will prevent another youngster coming up to the big team. Provided that we add another top 6 player via FA if achievable.
  14. And poof. We'll be paying around 20M for 5 dmen
  15. Exactly. I come in here to see what people are rambling about the kid and I see a chain of posts about our defense and trading Tanev
  16. my conclusion was that after a very successful season and unfortunately a run to a game 7 SCF loss was that all the other teams figured our system out and since then we've been having lots of problems scoring or generating chances especially with the Sedins' cycling plays being broken all the time
  17. Listening to some others' scouting reports.. how Jake Virtanen could be compared to a guy like Jeff Carter - that just excites me. Then I heard how he's not the most consistent guy with his physical attributes... I'm not sure anymore. Don't think we can go wrong with Kapanen/Nylander either... would love the Mike Modano prototype in Draistl though.
  18. doesn't matter about 2015, #1 pick or #2 pick you're gonna be in for a huge reward
  19. considering that Torts only has one legit top 6 player ... yeah Hank needs the have that amount of ice time Elliotte Friedman tweeted that he doesn't see any of the management/coaches being fired this season. off season time .... you know what? i think we're just stuck with these boys for a bit more. only guy i don't wanna see is Gulutzan. get him outta here PLEASE or have him coach in the A cause Green has been taking forever to show results
  20. Stop. It's been well reported that ROR is not being traded before/on trade deadline 2014.
  21. to correct you on the last part yes O'Reilly would fit with us because Gillis has been looking for a centerman ALL YEAR LONG Santorelli was not going to be a part of MG's plan for next season as MG felt MS may ask for a huge raise but now that he's injured as the price could be negotiated, Santorelli has become another 7th forward for the Canucks just like Higgins.
  22. if you're gonna get schenn i rather keep Edler - him coming off an off year > Bieksa - aging, clause (who may actually waive because Philly plays a rough style Juice can adapt to)
