  1. all we have to do is 'qualify' him to retain his rights. After that we can put him on waivers to send him down to find himself if he clears.
  2. Its not his size. Its his compete level. When hes on he is effective but when he isnt he floats . I dont know how a coach can correct something like that.
  3. I agree with this. He has good size and good mobility. Do you guys think he will still be there at 36?
  4. You guys are probably right. I cant figure it out either its probably his buddies back in Michigan.
  5. If the Hawks win game 7, they will face the Rangers for the FIRST TIME in their history for the Stanley cup if you can believe that. The teams have been in the league since the 1920s and have never played the stanley cup finals against one another. That is a hell of a long wait
  6. I was just going to post on Nylander. If we dont take Ehlers I am all for Nylander. His ceiling is even higher than Ehlers. Looks like the Islanders fans have their hearts set on him at #5 which would end all the debate we are having. http://www.lighthousehockey.com/2014/5/28/5757422/my-2014-nhl-mock-draft
  7. Sedins are first or second ballot Hall of Famers. They have two scoring titles, Hart trophy, two presidents trophies , gold medal (if that matters ) and 1000 games played. The odds of identical twins pulling off something like this has to be in the billions to 1. I am so grateful to Brian Burke and the sacrifice Trevor Linden made when he was traded making the twins possible.
  8. To me 'undersized' is some guy who is 5ft 10 or less. If he is 5ft 8 or less he is small. I would say guys 5ft 9 and 10 arent small per ce but they are a bit under the average. The average NHL player is 6ft 1 and 201. I dont know how it breaks down for forwards. Probably 5ft 11.5 and 190 That is my opinion.
  9. I dont, but I do like what you have to say. At least you are reasonable. Ehlers is almost 6ft I believe. He may have even hit that now. BANTSN is going to hate Ehlers and Nylander until the draft and maybe a few years after that. I wouldnt bother with him.
  10. correct. who is the other guy with his tongue hanging out?
  11. Ok. One last gasp. Is it..................Patrick White ? ????
  12. Me too. If we get Ehlers, /Ritchie/ Nyander......................and we can score Virtanen I am all for that. The kid is raw talent. He needs some work but he could be a first line winger because of his speed.
  13. My money is on Ehlers, Nylander and Ritchie. I doubt we take Virtanen at #6.
  14. You may be taking it a bit too seriously. What Kane does wont influence the scouts. They arent that easily led. In the end its irrelevant who we want to draft. Benning will decide and we will carry on. Try to relax a bit.
  15. I havent found anything either . I guess tomorrow is the final day they will probably be news on it. He thinks hiding behind the internet with an attitude means something. I was under the impression we were all 'canuck friends' .I guess disagreeing about who we draft at 6th overall is the last straw .
  16. Thanks for the link. Interesting read. I had never heard of Redline before so I went and checked out their mock draft right before the 2013 class were picked. http://www.redlinereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/RLR-Mock-Draft-June-2013.pdf They didnt get a single pick in the top 10 right. Zero. Nor top 20 I believe. That has got to be a record.
  17. Kass is 6ft 3 and has a huge frame but plays at 215. Ritchie might end up being faster at 220 or 215 . Lets see how fast he is first at 226.
  18. If Virt is gone by #10 I am starting to have thoughts about Tuch. He is listed as 6ft 3 1/2 and 216 pounds.
  19. I forgot about this. I guess I was right. The poor guy got injured like 3 weeks later
  20. The long interviews with Virt and Fleury would seem to speak to that option. I would like them to look at Perlini , Tuch and Milano if Virt is gone by #10
