I gave it a full listen. I disagree with the full take on him on benson but can see how he has his opinion and it definitely is very valid.
-
Pretty hot takes but they are all completely valid and possible outcomes EDIT listened to it while doing some admin work and he frames all of his opinions completely reasonably was a nice listen thanks. I disagree on his full view of benson and on some players like Barlow but lots of scouts and people have different opinions on players like how he supports his views respectfully while acknowledging how others view them he’s talked to too
-
I don’t think we take Reinbacher at 5. Think that could be a big mistake with guys like benson, smith and potentially michkov or in a crazy world Carlsson.
-
He’s a player I want a intrigued with last summer going into the year. But I just haven’t seen him play much. He’s the kinda guy if we do draft him I give full trust to our team in that he’s the BPA. from what you are saying about him he sounds like a good fit. How’s his skating relative to peers do you think?

[Signing] Red Wings re-sign Olli Maatta
R3aL replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Good for him he’s rebounded and found a good fit for him -
We should celebrate we are officially a bottom 5 team. The tank is real
-
I’ve just not seen him play enough to have a strong opinion on him. And when I have I’ve not been wowed but that’s why I don’t say much about him good or bad I just don’t know enough
-
Strbak I’m not that high on but bedard Reinbacher would be a very nice first round outcome one that we’d all go crazy about
-
100% and dont get me wrong I still want a Benson or a Smith first! I really do think Defence is effort/heart and coaching and that any athlete can be good defensively if they commit to it.
-
He could potentially steal the game. no way rangers prepped for him. and he’s fresh, will have massive adrenaline pumping and is good enough that he could have a crazy debut or he could play amazing and still let 4-6 in because our defence is atrocious. who knows! But will be fun to watch what he can do
-
Haha 100% my guy! I do really like Moore though. And if we end up winning some games with demko or getting push up in draft order from the lottery. If we got Moore at 7-9 I wouldn’t be upset at all. since benson due to his size, and faceoff ability he might not translate as an NHL C and will Smith is pure offence with not much of a defensive conscience like Kent Johnson so he may not be a C either. So it makes me think I should be ranking them as Wingers and basket them with Barlow as my elite winger tier under Michkov.
-
Will Smith like benson could also end up being an nhl winger for different reasons I honestly don’t think there is other than moore who I’d go as high as 7

Exactly I think this tier of 2023 draft >>> the 2024 and we get the kid a year sooner. Honestly if ASP is there I think we take him. But could be wrong! And I just really hope with 2 / 3 picks we at least get a great C prospect and at least 1 RHD prospect preferably 2 in the top 60. Hope we add a second round pick at least before the deadline. What I want most: our first pick, 1 of: Bedard / Fantili / Michkov / Carlsson / Smith / Benson NYI Pick, 1 of: ASP / Dragicevic / Reinbacher / Danielson (But if a Moore / Barlow / Leonard slipped to here that would be hard to ignore) Our Second Pick, 1 of: Willander / Bonk / Akey / Brzustewicz / Asplund - So the dream for me would be: Bedard / Dragicevic / Willander That would be amazing. And I am really high on Lukas now. But drafting 2 hometown kids high together wonder if it would be too much pressure distraction for them. I know some guys on here like Ritchie but I am not a fan. I like Nate Danielson over him for that tier of C.

My response doesn’t want to come below ur quote lol i think they will miss the playoffs and we will still get a pick this year. their roster and goaltending is too good on paper to fall below the teams under them I think. Really hope we get that pick 13-15

Hes no elite prospects pulls the numbers form HC Sochi KHL wrbsite 178 cm tall which is 5 ft 10 and 67 kg which is 147 lbs. If thats is actual weigh he must be just shredded and he will be a lot heavier in a few years. And to be effective in the VHL and KHL at that weight and age is amazing.
-
lol honestly I dont know all their weights and heights for Bedard / Benson / Michkov are all around 5 9 - 5 10 His official height is taller than Bedard though on HC Sochi. Benson and Bedard are a couple CM shorter than Michkov. And Michkovs weights are 147-172lb depending where you look. I would say they are all relatively similar size rn and Michkovs weight is irrelevant today. Fact he is playing with men already even more so. And he has lots of time to get on the Russian Sauce and Training Regimen. Im sure hell be strong as a horse by the time he comes to the NHL. Michkov is similar to Kaprizov in height. I dont think there's a world we pick 4th or later and michkov is there and we pass on him. It would deals be nice because we wouldn't be able to force him or push him into the NHL roster too quick and it wouldn't impact our continued rebuild the next couple years.
-
It's just those 4+ million dollar years when we could be looking aaa reentering a competitive phase that could be tough. Problem is I dont like having an A on a guy who is overpaid, and underperforming. It bothers me.

[Rumour] Canucks interested in Valtteri Pulli
R3aL replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Would need AHL time to see if he could be an NHL guy I think. But size and skating and age all check nice boxes. Id be happy if we signed him and Livingstone. But with Jurmo potentially coming over next year that would put a lot of Ahl rookies on our backend maybe.
