So, does anyone think the Canucks can make the playoffs without a scoring third line? Our bottom 6 was the worst in the league last year and at this point we're looking at more of the same.
DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THE NFL tho

the same crew that tells you face offs don't matter also picked Edmonton to win the cup and picked Vegas near the bottom.
Disclaimer: Haven't read the thread, but this comment made me curious about team face off stats.
Do faceoff's really matter? https://puckbase.com/stats/team-faceoffs
Carolina #1, Buffalo in top 10, Tampa near the bottom..

Boston beat us for the cup with a really good TEAM in 2011. With nary a generational 'ultra-star' in sight.
Some very good players, sure. But nobody 'generational'.
Tim thomas = 2 Vezinas
Tukka Rask = 1 Vezina
Zdeno Chara = 1 Norris
Patrice Bergeron = 4 Selkes
Pretty sure they had a couple "Ultra-Stars".

Its funny, that you equate success in a player by the amount of pounds a player has.
Scores one goal in a teenager tourney and you cream your pants for him. Very cute.
Its funny that you forgot everyone including canucks management says Elias needs to add bulk. I was saying Mittlestadt already had it along with the skill.
And why don't you look through my posts pre draft and see who I liked, wasn't just "creaming my pants" over one goal in a "teenager tourney". And It's always nice to see your prospects do well against the best of their peers.
And if I wanted to go be a buffalo fan, or Toronto fan or Flames fan, I wouldn't care as much as I do about benning messing up our top 10 picks. Some of you on here just don't get it, being a canucks fan doesn't mean you just have to be on board with everything management does, if you want to be like that fine, have fun. Stop pretending I, or any others who feel like I do, care any less for wishing my team took the better player.

Yeah, that's what I meant xD
It's not so much that he wasn't strong, it's that he apparently didn't care enough about the tests at the combine to work on it. It's more of a potential attitude thing than anything.
I think a lot of his actions/decisions were over scrutinized and blown out of proportion. It seems like the guy really loves to play hockey, to me anyways, from listening to what he has to say in interviews and what he does on the ice.
anyways, sorry to derail the Elias thread, carry on as you were!

I think with Mittelstadt, the college thing, in conjunction with the fact he didn't adequately prepare for the summit was enough to scare a few teams off.
If by summit you mean draft combine, I thought it was a plus that the guy can still add some strength (easier than adding bulk as a bean pole) and from bennings mutliple college bound picks I doubt he puts much thought into the college loophole.

May be a bit of spilled milk but the last 3 years I've had Nylander, Tkachuck, and Mittlestadt. At least one of those is looking like the better choice already. I have been pretty satisfied with his late round picks but the guy just cant pick top 10 to save his life.
We could have had the same amount of skill with mittlestadt just with a 200 lb frame instead of 167. Go look at Elias' brothers weight, doesn't seem like it's much higher at 20 something years old. Doesn't bode well for the youngsters chances of putting on some bulk.
But, as a die hard Canucks fan I will sit here and hope I am wrong and that he becomes that #1 C that benning and Co have promised us he is.

While Elias was busy playing wing and getting injured, my choice for 5th overall was doing this:

I suppose so. I'd just like to see him getting accustomed to playing center. That is what we drafted him for.
I realize that the teams he's playing for aren't obligated to use him how we want him to be used, but it's still kind of frustrating to see.
For me, it's not so much that I want to see him getting accustomed to playing center, and more so I want to see him being the choice for center by his coaches because they think he is that amazing.

If Vilardi is available at 5 and benning drafts Necas instead, he should run outta town with pitch forks.
Wouldn't the pitch forks slow him down? Why does he need them in the first place?

Weak draft + columbus position in standings = we already know were getting it
id be pretty happy if they didn't.
so far its looking like 1-5, 33, 57*, 64
*could go as low as 55 if WSH is elimated this round or next and PIT is eliminated next round.
Should get 4 nice picks this year.

Damn, this highlight reel gets posted a lot.
Hard to compare his points with other players since he played the majority of his season in high school but when he plays against his peers, he dominates.

I like Mittlestadt, even as high as 2nd overall. If you look at his U18 highlights, the kid has some very soft hands, amazing work in traffic, has good wheels, great vision and a quick accurate shot. He had 7 points for the tournament ahead of Hischier and Patrick and even guys from last years draft class such as Nylander and Jost.
His size is already respectable at 6'1" 200 and his baby face makes me think he could still grow and fill out a bit more.
I didnt see much physicality in his game but with his skill it didnt look like he needed to use it to get the puck and win battles. If he can add that to his game and grow he could be a dominant beast in the nhl.

Every "inb4" post ever on cdc.

It was for seven episodes.
I agree

Whoa, everybody be quiet, canadiangunner is telling us the future.

First good shift by Virtanen tonight
Agreed, hope he keeps it up.
-
Improve the quality of your posts, perhaps?
Look in the mirror. Oh wait you are too busy trolling every thread ever made on cdc. Lol at 7466 posts, get a productive hobby bro.

Buncha armchair coaches in here. The kids 18 years old. He has holes in his game, yes, but the harsh criticism is unnecessary. <b>It's noted that he has to improve on his positioning<\b>. He will be the Canucks most exciting prospect/player in a few years time. You can't teach the hard nosed, nasty north south game he plays. Plus he has a pretty good shot.
What posts are u reading, thats exactly what were talking about.

Next period, focus on McDavid, see if you notice the same things. I will save you the time, you WILL. Half the team is out of position all the time, it's the wjc. New line mates, new cciach
Thanks for coming out brick, appreciate it.
-
lul He was just thrown on a line with players he has no experience with at all. So let us crystal ball RIGHT NOW, shall we?
I dont see anyone calling him a bust, just observing whats wrong with his play so far, no crystal ball needed for that.
-
I hope so, because at both ends of the ice I'm left scratching my head at times . Good thing is, that is definitely coachable if is indeed just his mistakes.
I agree, at least his shortfalls are things that can be coached and he possesses speed and size which cant.
-
Thanks coach. Oh wait, you're not the coach. The coach is telling Virtanen where to be.
And you know with 100% certainty that the coach is telling him this?
Oh wait, you're not on the bench.

Jake really needs to improve his positioning. I have found myself on multiple occasions throughout this tournament wondering where virt is, the pucks around the net and hes not in view, then he shows up flying to the net as soon as it starts going the other way. His back check also leaves something to be desired sometimes.

Why can't we have all the points?
Personally my hopes were up for:
Ferland - Petey - Brock
Pearson - Horvat - Miller
Baertschi - Gaudette - Virtanen
Leivo/Ericsson - Beagle - Sutter
Motte
With a decision between baertschi/pearson/leivo once Rooster was healthy. A 3rd scoring line is not only a good idea for scoring more goals, but also when your top 6 gets injured you don't have to fill in the gaps with 4th line defensive plugs.
