2019 NHL Entry Draft in Vancouver, BC
JeremyCuddles replied to Qwags's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
He didn't play during the 16/17 season, so our season would have probably went the same way. Unless you are suggesting management passes on Petey cause we have PLD in the system. -
I'd say at worst Podkolzin is a 3rd liner. He has that ability in his game, whether or not he stays in the NHL as a 3rd liner is a whole other story. I feel like Caufield is too small to fill a bottom 6 role, but to do what he has done this year is nothing short of impressive. It's crazy how Podkolzin being Russian is a bigger red flag to people than a 5'7 guy. But hey, that ain't none of my business.
-
It's a bit of a risk, but I'd take it personally. If not for injuries he very likely has 2 30 goal seasons under his belt already. May as well consider his rookie season a 30 goal season since he had 29 in 62 games. Lol. He's got good character. I like Boeser a lot.

Scheifele and MacKinnon signed it too. Looks pretty nice.

[Proposal] Draft Day Splash
JeremyCuddles replied to Noble 6's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
He's a BC boy and some posters on here seem to think NMC means they are forever stuck where they are forever until the end of time and nobody ever would ever waive to go to a young up and coming team like Vancouver. It's not like it's a nice city to live in if you're rich as hell either. -
Doesn't matter, neither will be around at 10 imo. If I had to choose I pick Podkolzin. If his intangibles are half as good as the scouting reports say he'll be a playoff performer. Other than Button's knee jerk reaction to whatever tourney Podkolzin struggled in recently most everyone says he has top 3 talent/potential.

Sucks that the work load Bo has to face doesn't come into play here. Bo > Boeser, but Boeser scores more so he'll make more money. Boeser isn't 1mil dollars better than Bo, especially if you factor in the fact Bo is healthier overall. If I am Benning my starting point is 5.5 and it ends at 6. Bo is the superior player overall and Boeser can't in his heart of hearts think he is worth a mil or more than Bo.

I miss the 6x6 days.

He wasn't a power forward in Juniors either. He dominated people with his skating and his shot, which for all we know hasn't been the same since his shoulder surgery. He was never considered a power forward, power winger maybe. Big body, capable of banging but doesn't drive the net or really do any of his damage around the net.

2019 NHL Entry Draft in Vancouver, BC
JeremyCuddles replied to Qwags's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Yeah, of course in hindsight he wasn't. That's why I said "AT THE DRAFT". Cause at the draft he was BPA. It's why I don't care for the BPA argument when everyone has a different idea of who is the best. But d-men are very rarely rated super high. This draft has one, maybe two, defensemen considered top 10. It's harder to gauge D-men at this age. That's why I don't mind taking a d-man at 10 even if he isn't considered BPA by most people's standards. -

The downside to winning the lotto all the time I guess. Very rarely is a d-man considered BPA at the draft. It's why I don't care for the BPA argument all that often. Yak was the BPA in his draft but looking at their team Murray would have been the far superior choice even at the time. -
To clarify, I wasn't saying "old white guys" as they are racist. I am saying that they are boring. Subban is bombastic, exciting, and in your face. Everyone likes the old school, soft spoken guys of the old days. Subban's not a problem in terms of drama cause he celebrates super enthusiastically or has fun high fives with teammates. The only real argument against Subban is his play. He's 30, D-men either age well or they fall off cliffs. His play this season was very poor and for a 9mil price tag it's a risk. But I don't see a problem with him as far as antics. He's not a cheapshot artist, I don't think he's an ego maniac and only cares about his numbers. I think he is a team guy and well liked by teammates. I don't think there should be any question about his character. Also, pretty much the entire Nashville team played average at best this season. Subban is not alone as a guy that had a subpar year in Nashville.
-
Why cause a bunch of old white guys have a problem with his antics? I haven't heard one bad thing about him from coaches or teammates. He donated a crap ton of money to charity. His game, yes it was pretty average at best but to say he is bad to have around or he causes drama because Montreal management/coaching staff had a problem with him and Carey Price having a signature high fight is pretty absurd.

2019 NHL Entry Draft in Vancouver, BC
JeremyCuddles replied to Qwags's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Our core isn't set until the team starts winning. Period. We have holes everywhere still. Don't get complacent cause we drafted a few gems. There's still work to be done and the foundation is looking pretty solid. Bo, Petey, and Boeser have shown they are pieces worth building around. Everyone else still has question marks until proven otherwise. Defense is hurting in top end talent as well as depth. Goaltending is still a question mark until Marky can do what he did for half of last season over the course of a full season and Demko has barely played 10 career games. 3 players does not make a core especially when all of them are forwards. Hughes' and Juolevi's development is critical because believe it or not if even one of them fails to reach top 4 status we aren't gonna have a good D core in the future. Woo made huge grounds this season but keep in mind it's Junior. We should be hoping he can even become a top 6 guy before we crown him a top 4 core guy. Tryamkin may not come back and even if he does we don't really know what we have. -

Nice little read up and it'll be good to have more guys with size in the system. Shouldn't put all our eggs in the Gadjovich basket. -

You are narrowing your list down? My list is getting longer as the days go by Lol. -

JeremyCuddles replied to Qwags's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Me, we should draft Soderstrom. In all seriousness. I read as many different scouting reports as I can and look for consistencies on what they say about players. Then inform my opinion from there. So just google guys and read up as best you can. Personally I think Bob McKenzie's list is pretty sound since it's like 10 scouts or something he has. -
[Proposal] 8th Overall Edmonton
JeremyCuddles replied to Doogie's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
If they are giving up the 8th it's not for a 2nd rounder and a future 1st rounder. Lol. The point is to improve now and with a top 10 pick it better be for a player that vastly improves your team. Tanev doesn't improve that team when he misses 20 games a year and is good for 5-10 points at best. They laugh and say "so about Hughes". We don't have what they want cause what they want we also want. Top 6 wingers and puck moving d-men. -

JeremyCuddles replied to Qwags's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
With our 2nd rounder, assuming we take a forward with our 1st, I'd be interested in Lassi Thomson if he's around. Finns have been producing some great hockey players and I think he's got some very interesting tools. Not a big body, 6'0 185 pounds. He's a fair bit older too. Looks like he was close to being draft eligible last draft. He needs to be refined a bit so he could be developing for a fair while but I like his game. Great skater, good stick handling and a hard slapper. -
(Rumour) Canucks interested in Malkin - **Warning-Eklund
JeremyCuddles replied to GB5's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Malkin's bad year at 32 is better than Horvat's best season as he enters his prime. Y'all outta your minds thinking he isn't still top tier. Would I give up premium futures? No. But this guy would make us a playoff team next season if we keep our goalies, Petey, Bo, Hughes and Boeser. Honestly, this is likely just Pittsburgh sending Malkin a message to up his game or they'll look to move him. Which is crazy considering he was still a PPG player. LOL. Imagine that being a down year. -
Retweeting this.

I'd say every team in the 4-10 range is hoping he is there at their pick.
