Id like to add to this:
Are you unattractive?
Do you wear ugly suit/tie combinations?
Do you often contract yourself?
Do you think Toronto is the center of the Universe?
fearing the worst, joping for the best of course, played high level sports, getting injured and missing out on development sucks. This all reminds me of when we draft JJ deigneault or whoever that guy was that came up on stage on crutches - I wasnt born when that happened, but heard all about it
Love how JB is so bullish on these guys, IMO he overevsluates players- Bonino, vey, virt, pedan, Ryan miller (why could we not sign him 2 yrs 5 mil? No other teams made him offers and he was in Vancouver the entire free agent period)
Vey got every chance to succeed with 1st unit PP time. I would like to see Bo and Kass get 12+ min, and 1st/2nd unit PP time do that they can "be given the best chance to succeed"
I don't like the vey favoritism that happens on the PP when Kass, Horvat and Jensen are not getting looks. What did vey do to "earn" a spot in top unit PP?
Guy is all over the map, first he ranks JV 40th at the draft, no he puts him in Canada's top 6 and the dude is coming off a big injury
Guy has no clue, can't be trusted
Ritchie has a higher bust factor than virtanen.
Ritchie is bigger but virtanen has size too.
Virtanen:
Better shot
Better skater
Better conditioning
Equal defensively?
Equal hockey sense
Have to introduce youth at some point
It's just been so long since it's happened here that ppl are nervous about it
I say Horvat gets a good 9 games while Matthias can sit and think about why a teen competes harder than him
Kid hurt his shoulder last game, left game and returned any news on if he has re injured it, I know he scored after he came back - but today how was he?
I hope his shoulder holds up, I liked the pick, wasn't crazy about it, but now that he's ours, I sure want the best for him. I hope he Rips it up, stays healthy and goes to WJC
Horvat is more sound defensively than vey
Vey is outrider at draws
Move vey to the wing
Dump Mathias
Keep sestito
Sedin Sedin Vbrata
Burrows Bonino Kassian
Higgins Horvat Vey
Hansen Richardsson Dorsett
Sestito
Jensen plays until Kasdian returns
Shinkarurk seasons in ahl if he does well and Hansen gives you nothing
Trade Hansen bring up Shinkaurk and drop burrows and Higgins down a line
If trade Hansen and keep sestito as we are in a tough conference and Dorsett can do it all alone. Also having sestito in the lineup lets Dorsett focus on actual hockey
Like this lineup
As soon as shinkaruk shows that he can play quality defence in the AHL then he gets a callup, otherwise I say Jensen and certainly Horvats D is stronger and that is how players should develop.
