  1. Because if the picks we take are not ready in 3 to 4 years of development...than we picked very...VERY poorly with our best draft pick since the Sedins. Anyone who thinks we are going to draft a guy and be successful with them immediately has obviously failed to understand how development truly works. Anyone we pick this and next season, with the prospects we currently have and the core we currently have is best served being developed for 3 years minimum, 1 full AHL season minimum It is common sense and a proper development program to do this instead of rushing young, undersized or currently young 1 dimensional players in to the league and expect results
  2. issue for me with him is the Qual Comp...hard to compare to CHL really. But again, as long as whoever we pick ifs developed properly over a 3 or 4 year period I'm happy
  3. its the endless single mindedness and the aggressive stance he takes when you disagree with him
  4. When they finally ban you I cannot wait to take that towel and wipe my arse with it
  5. This guy is worse than Tiger AND Apollo....
  6. Calm the hell down man seriously...it is borderline obsessive and kind of creepy. You have NO idea who we are picking, you only know who you'd pick. Yuu're that Burke/Feaster type who even if picking ehlers was the worst decision the club ever made would still defend it by saying he's the best player in the draft, worth 10 1st round picks. We get it, you're an Ehlers fan...calm the hell down already
  7. Carolina got a point and are now 1 point ahead of the canucks giving us the 6th overall pick provided we do not win tonight. Also SNYPERS infatuation with an 18 year old boy and his belligerence about anyone who questions it is beyond annoying

      ^Woops. I'm a little dated. Forgot it was changed to ROW instead of wins.

    4. The Stork

      The Stork

      So do we officially own 6th overall

  8. And the Canes are mere seconds away from giving us the 6th overall pick this year!!!!
  9. Mantha yes...never get Nyquist sadly
  10. Why don't people understand. ANYONE we pick this year won't step into the league for three years at least. We have a solid team and the ability to wait and develop these kids properly. So if its Ritchie, Ehlers, Draistl, Bennett, Reinhardt, MDC or Virtanen expect to not see them for a while if you want them to pan out properly. whoever we pick this and next season, it is imperative we develop them properly with a minimum of one full AHL season. And hope for Ekblad, Reinhart or Dal Colle....
  11. D men I desire from this draft include Collins, Vanier, Mantha and Ollatts Mattson All huge bodies and all solid D men with mobility
  12. I knwo I find it unlikely as well but that is where Anaheims pick could come in and if Thatcher Demko is available in the 2nd we could nab him instead. I am more and more sold on keeping line mates together from junior teams that have had such success as chemistry like that cannot be taught
  13. At that point with ours i'd grab me some Dal Colle, Draistl or Virtanen And with Ottawas Ritchie, with Anaheims Ritchies Line Mate right now and with our 2nd hoping he's still around Thatcher Demko or Lemieux
  14. I have stated that for a while. Virtanen and Tuch in this years draft would enable us, with Grenier, Jensen and Kassian coupled with our depth at LW to draft everywhere else that we need unless a bonafide cannot miss superstar becomes available to us via prospect or pick at those positions.
  15. At age 17 Virtanen has SO much room to grow. And as I have stated before whoever we pick with this draft pick we can safely let develop for 3 years + without worrying about rushing them in to the league early. This goes for Ritchie, Reinhart, Dal Colle Ekblad Tuch Fleury Draistl...literally ANYONE we pick we can safely allow to sit sit in the CHL and AHL and develop properly over time. So on that note here is to hoping we can somehow get Dal Colle for the Cassels connection and possibly via trade for more picks this and or next year Tuch or someone else at the RW position and allow them to sit in development for 3 years or so. Nothing could/would be better for the overall health of this club if we could move big value players like Kesler and or Edler for 1st round picks this year and or next year and prospects now. And then allow them to develop in the CHL and AHL for a few seasons each.
  16. The canes and Canucks will be tied with 81 points and 1 game left to play, Carolina holding the edge in ROW's so yes technically in front of the Canucks giving us the 6th overall by default. All the Canucks would have to do is lose in regulation or hope Carolina wins and that 6th is ours and hope beyond hope we can draft Dal Colle for the Cassels connection.
  17. There is a HUGE part of me that hopes Linden does indeed trade Kesler to Anaheim for the Etem + 1st(s) if it is the Ottawa pick in question. Get Dal Colle for Cassels Get Etem for Shinkaruk Have Gaunce and Fox Use the Ottawa pick for someone like Virtanen or Ritchie or whoever might be left around at that number (9th through 12th) and hope to draft their line mate in the 2nd round if available Literally bringing up 2/3rds of multiple top 6 lines in junior hockey and developing them all properly would be absolutely incredible for this team in the future
  18. Actually no worse than 7th. A loss in regulation tonight means we cannot finish with any more than 83 points. And as we'd be tied with the Canes, one more outright loss by the team means 6th in the draft. So after tonight we can finish no worse than 7th overall in the draft and one more outright loss means we pick 6th. I so very VERY much want Dal Colle....Dal Colle and Cassels on the team would be incredible. The ONLY thing better would be getting MacDavid next year for Gaunce and Fox :D
  19. With a measly overtime loss we are secured for no better than 7th place overall in the draft!!!!!

      ROW yes yes...but we are going to lose this game without question as it stands. 7th place....we can do it. 6th, we need Carolina to help. But 7th overall this year

  20. actually, 7th as it stands but if we lose our last two games 6th via virtue of Carolina having more ROWs So it looks like 6th or 7th by my eyes
  21. Corbiel in the ECHL is a beast 6 foot 6 and really athletic. Looked great in penticton and we should give him a shot
