  1. These are management quotes. I don't recall St Louis or Mike Richards saying they "love this city". So not a valid point.
  2. Ehlers debates continue to heat up. Ehlers is small, Virtanen is stupid, Ritchie can't skate, suck, suck, suck, rage, rage, rage. Linden!!!!!!!!! Whoever we pick they better have iron skin. Cause no matter who it is they'll be compared to Kane's and Toews' and Lucic's. Go Canucks.
  3. Or maybe we could just build an equally talented group? Yeah, no?
  4. Well I'd like for them to be a bubble team, at least. Being Buffalo, Edmonton or Florida doesn't sound appealing.
  5. No, cause that would mean we either suck a** next year or grossly overpay for 1st overall. Neither sound appealing.
  6. He creates offence on his own. Go to guy... Learn to read or something.
  7. Sounds like he needs to be the go to guy. Interesting. With Kes and the Sedins he won't be the go to guy. But that could change over the course of the off season.
  8. You see this comparison a lot in Ehlers' threads too. People don't realize Bure was a generational talent. Bure did things with a puck that no one in todays game could dream of.
  9. This made me laugh way to loud. Good stuff sir, good stuff.
  10. These debates are heating up. Waiting for the name calling to break out. Hopefully we get a good prospect, whomever that may be. Not watching Canuck playoffs is brutal. Absolutely brutal. And I'd like our prospects to be the best possible prospects we could get. That way we are back in the playoff saddle that much quicker.
  11. I like Ehlers but it'd be funny to see his reaction on us passing on Ehlers. Honestly I just want the best possible player there. Virtanen, Ritchie, Ehlers, Dal Colle, whoever. Just want this rebuild over as quickly as possible. Really leaning towards Virtanen based on the hometown connection. Highly doubt Reino drops that far. Dal Colle or Virtanen are high on my list.
  12. I've heard some good things about him. Of course I hear a lot of things it's just filtering out the crap and over exaggerations that's hard. Like Snypers unusual love for Ehlers. I want Virtanen but if 6 is too high for him the BPA is fine. BC players are paying off nicely for us, so anyone from around here is what interests me. If Nylander plays a solid two way game and gives us the best chance at playoffs one day I don't care if he's from BC, USA, Narnia or Tatooine. Get em a Jersey.
  13. Nylander at 5? Lets hope we get him then. I don't follow the Rooks to be I kind of just jump on some hype trains mixed in with cool sounding player names. Still hope we get Virtanen.
  14. Assuming one of them do drop. We are really gonna be clinching our cheeks if our only hope in this draft is hoping a top 5 drops, I hope one does but we are in a good position to get another quality prospect. May not be a house hold name but these drafts aren't black and white. We could get the best player at 6 or even in the 2nd or 3rd round. Gotta put faith in scouting to get us the best possible players at each pick and not buy into "only these 5 are good".
  15. My dad did Torts finally got to say how he felt about Gillis' process. He held on to this core too long and got too attached. They are older then the hills, lets get some youth in here.
  16. Yeah cause no one else is scouting Draisatl and Dal Colle. Virtanen at 6 is not off the table. From what I heard is Virtanen is Shinkaruk with size. Shink was projected top 10 pick fell due to size. I'd be ecstatic if we could snag one of the top 5 players at 6 but Virtanen is nothing to sneeze at. We get it you pay attention to the "experts" mock drafts, Virtanen is a good pick at the 6 spot despite what TSN says.
  17. I say yes. Hometown players have been as close to gold for us right now. I'd be ok with Virtanen. Too bad we don't have another high pick to nab Reinhart too.
  18. Cajones*, but Linden is a big believer in two way play. Not sure how you determine solid two way play from kids who's main focus is putting up offensive numbers. Generally I assume you go with players who are bigger then the competition. I'd take Virtanen or Ritchie before Ehlers. Isn't he similar to Shink? And Shink fell to the 24-25 spot.
  19. It's the truth. He already took all the blame for the season. We need to get younger. Gillis didn't have any young guys waiting to break into the line up and our older players didn't have the energy to compete. We are 2-3 years from legitiment playoff contenders unless Linden or our new GM can make an Erhoff type deal and get someone really good for scraps. Couple top 6 FA's are desperately needed too. Building from within is prefered though.
  20. I wouldn't mind picking up an 11-14 pick and grabbing Virtanen. BC boy, that's all I need to know. Heard he's dropped pretty low on some lists maybe get lucky and grab him second round although I doubt he drops that far.
  21. It's going to be an interesting top 5. We've heard rumors of who each team is interested in. Reino may very well drop to 5/6th. Draisatl if Ekblad is gone is suppose to be high on Edmonton's list.
  22. It's the players who go un-noticed game in game out doing all the small things right that win championships. The gritty hard working two way players that lead teams to the top. That said we won't be drafting that guy 6-7 range. There are a couple players I'd like that will likely not be around at the 6 slot. And other players that aren't worth drafting that early. We are in a weird position where we are hoping some players drop or shoukd consider trading down. Sounds dumb but who knows what direction the organization wants to go with the new GM and Linden and whether or not Torts is here.
  23. Plays his cards right Ehlers finds one of his many threads and it's love at first sight. I'm really hoping one of the top 5 players drops to us. Too bad Calgary didn't still have Feaster. Hopefully Snow is his usual not smart self and does something stupid.
