  1. We get it you're a Ritchie fanboy. But to say he has a minimal chance of success is ignorant. Ritchie is fat, happy? He has 2 good strides gets beat down the ice. Who wants that against San Jose, not me. Look I can be a fan boy too. Virtanen is the next Corey Perry, game changer. Has all the tools to be Corey Perry herp derp false facts. Virtanen is Ovechkin who actually plays defence. Better draft him. Herp derp. Ritchie too fat, next Pyatt hate to draft that guy, can't skate herp.
  2. I wouldn't say long gone but yeah. Just a cheap shot at the "one too many passes" Sedins. Who knows maybe he becomes super awesome in one year, yeah, yeah...
  3. Good, someone on the Sedin line who'll actually shoot the damn puck.
  4. If you get drafted at 18 and don't have at least NHL level IQ at 23 - 5 years of development, your draft team has really bad player development. Kassian isn't exactly smart yet he's in the NHL. Could be said Edler is brain dead defensively, yet in the NHL. You don't need Crosby/Sedin level IQ to be in the NHL. And with players like the Sedins on your team, learning is easy. Look what they did to Burrows the undrafted ECHL(?) kid. Pretty huge transformation.
  5. IQ could be worked on. Learning is something every human can do. Some just refuse to do it. With that said there are some things that can't be taught. Work ethic maybe, hard working, leadership. A couple of those we have already, could use a game breaker who scores big goals at big times. I'll leave that to the Canuck brass to figure out. My wishlist is Virtanen or if Florida is actually shopping that first pick Ekblad. Bennett would be nice, him and Horvat would make a sick 1-2 punch down the middle.
  6. Most of this is the same 5-6 people either bashing or loving Ehlers. A lot of hostility and trolling to be had.
  7. With Bacon and cheese? Double Whopper is $4.99 if you'd rather have that. What would you like to drink?
  8. I'm not trying to down play his stats they are very good but like I said they don't translate his game properly. Live means a hell of a lot more. You can see the intangibles of what makes a quality NHLer.
  9. Scouts actually get paid to go to the games and watch them live. There's a lot we don't see in stats. Ehlers' Stats are good but we've seen people with good juniors not live up to that hype. Once again not saying he busts but don't get too caught up in stats.
  10. I would welcome Bergeron or Krejci with open arms. The rest can be speared by Lucic for all I care.
  11. Ell-ers. Can tell me I am wrong all you want gonna pronounce it like that til I die.
  12. You guys are still going at it? Lol. For the love of Naslund agree to disagree. All I know is we'll be lucky to have any of the top 10 players... Jesus go out or something.
  13. Wasn't that 20 some odd years ago? Not really a fair comparison. Especially considering they are nothing alike, game is different. Using comparisons is unfair and is easily manipulated with only positives or negatives.
  14. It's easier to just see the positives on all prospects in our range and be glad we get one of them. I can see Ehlers being a great fit here, Dal Colle would be nice, Jake Virtanen is good BC kid and we all love BC kids.
  15. He likes his burger like Absent Canuck likes his Ehlers. Probably shouldn't stir the pot. We are in a pretty decent draft spot and all that goes on is hostility. Too bad we aren't watching Canuck playoff hockey. I miss the ref conspiracies.
  16. Can we all agree we should hire feaster and go off the board? Who needs Ehlers or Virtanen or Nylander or whoever? We got the surprise nobody factor.
  17. And what round did he go, irrelevant stat is irrelevant. I'd be happy with Dal Colle Virtanen or Ehlers. Preferably Virtanen, but not upset with Ehlers or Dal Colle (assuming we get lucky he falls). We have a pretty bare prospect pool as far as top end potential goes. Horvat, Shink and our 6th this year are what I consider top end potential wise. Others are tweener hopeful project players. 3rd liners more likely 2nd liners if we are lucky. All I know is draft day can't come fast enough. All picks in our range are good, and we choose to argue which cake tastes best. Ehlers, Virtanen whoever, I am excited to see them in Blue and Green sweaters.
  18. But, but he's Bure 2.0, you're gonna upset Absent Canuck.
  19. I have said so, and Ehlers fanatics like yourself claim Ehlers trumps everyone. You make me sad.
  20. Smart move by management. Torts said this team was stale, Linden knows none of these players with NTC's can be moved. Had to save face. We are stuck with this bland core for 4-5 years.
  21. Hey that kind of logic isn't welcome here. Join Team Ehler's or Team Virtanen. Or anyone in between. One has, HAS, to be better so we have something to complain about come draft day.
  22. I don't make up things and put them in your mouth, so to speak. I read the things you say or in this case type and infer. People who love Ehlers, LOVE, Ehlers. And everyone else sucks but Ehlers. People say all these things about him and make me wonder how he's not a clear cut top 3 pick. "Bure this, Bure that". Patrick Kane bro's the next Patty Kane.
  23. Whats his term? This would be a huge cheque to write. Not something you want ro go to the owners for. And if we were to buyout a d-man it'd be Alex "Brainfart" Edler.
  24. Jerk? That's Uncalled for. I am a read between the lines guy. The way you and Snypers hype up Ehlers is quite comical. I see the Bure comparison thrown around all the time. Just like to try ground you guys. Over hyping players is a good way to get them hated real quick, think of Kassian's hype. Now every other week people want him traded, then next week praise him.
  25. In your opinion Ehlers > Crosby.
