  1. Those players are not comparable. There's a bridge that needs guarding.
  2. KHL contracts have flexibility for young players who are draft eligible into the NHL. I doubt he's 2 years away. His skill and physical game make him a no brainer for the Canucks. He was noticeable in the World juniors as a 17 year old. Russians rarely get playing time at that age and he's still 17 for a few more days.
  3. Yup. That was a reach. I agree with Burkie. They could have traded down to get him.
  4. Toronto selects Harrison Blaisdell @Sygvard
  5. I just jumped into a big 'ol can of worms. I have accused Zepp of 5th lining the Tryamkin thread. 5th lining is the equivalent of turning a 100 page thread, into a 1000 page thread.
  6. Nikita Tryamkin 1040. https://www.tsn.ca/radio/vancouver-1040/diamond-better-than-50-chance-tryamkin-returns-to-canucks-1.1325182
  7. It's ok to pick on this draft, but whether you believe it or not Juolevi is still one of the best D-man in this draft. I wanted Tkachuk and then Dubois and Poolparty was never going to get past 3. Then GM's started picking. This year is going to be just as crazy.
  8. Do the Canucks still own his rights?
  9. Toronto selects Oleg Zaitsev. @D-Money @Primal Optimist
  10. Hughes wants to emulate Keith is where that comes from. Minus the cheap shot to Daniel Sedin he is a prototype defenseman, who has an unlimited gas tank. A perenial all-star 2 time Norris winner. Yuck
  11. Think about what? The kid hasn't been to the playoffs yet and likely won't be for a couple more years. Also he plays defense and you didn't mention any defensemen as comparables. How about Tory Krug and Matt Grzelcyk. They seemed to do alright in the playoffs.
  12. Arizona here he comes. We'll take that extra 3rd you have in this year's draft.
  13. Toronto selects Simon Holmstrom @cunningham19
  14. And the following season, he and Markstrom will battle it out to see who gets traded. VGK picked a lot of goalies and defense in the expansion draft and I can see Seattle following suit.
  15. If Podkolzin is there at 10 you take him. He didn't score at the u-20 tourney,but he was a powerful, puck possession guy who was noticeable when he had the puck and Russia very rarely plays any 17 year olds. Apparently it's easier for an underage player to get out of a KHL contract, because they have provisions for players eligible for the draft. Newhook is a good straight line player, but I'm afraid he's a smaller version of Virtanen. That's just a feeling and I don't think that's entirely accurate, but it's a reality when players have a physical advantage in their league, like Newhook's skating.
