  1. Can pick Lafriener or Raymond next year if we are lucky...unless, the team makes the playoffs next year, which is 50/50.
  2. Broberg was a big part of the gold winning team...can't ignore that or can't go wrong with that at 10...unless he is another bust (lol)..."D" wins championships...our "D" is sad at the moment.
  3. Yeah, if they would have picked MT, then this thread would be all about Woooo...lol
  4. I like his dad saying "when he wins 3 cups, then we'll talk"...after the reporter asking him if he is a better player than his dad....if that isn't motivation, then I don't know what is...especially when the kid lives and breathes hockey.
  5. it's time for OJ to make his mark...too many younger defensemen are playing in the league before OJ has played his first game...it's time.
  6. the age benchmark I use for player development is 24 or 25 years old...at 25 years old the player should be showing his potential (Sedins never hit their stride until they were 24 years old, and they both are 1000+ point players in the NHL)...so regarding Try, he did very well as a 22 year old dman playing his first year in the NHL for a bottom feeder team.
  7. Cool... I guess he'll need a billet...just thinking about putting my name in the pot...on his off days, he can practice on the lake after the zamboni cleans it off...lol Will be taking in some Hitmen games this coming season
  8. Tanev and Hutton were garbage last year in regards to what is needed to make this "D" better...Hutton and Tanev were both minus munchers and could't make the first pass; they created a lot of fire drills as well as Poo. ...time to move on and get better.
  9. would be good if he is there for the picking...and JB doesn't pull a MT again.
  10. hope Kole Lind develops this coming year in the "A" and makes the jump to the NHL in the 20-21 season...he needs to be better than players like Granlund, Motte, Baer, Schaller, and Goldy to make the team...unless, JB makes changes and gets better players through trade or UFA, then he will have to play better than them.
  11. Million dollars to buy out his contract is money well spent to bring Try back early...they've waste millions of dollars on a player like LE...the million dollars would be chump change. Tryamkin, Schenn, Hughes, OJ to replace the garbage to make the D better....because we all know the "D" needs to get better in order to allow the forwards to flourish.
  12. Con...he is on the ice for more goals against than goals for Pro...he is a puck moving dman a minus muncher, however, out weighs the pros
  13. if Cozens is available at 10, then you take him.
  14. right on the money! He was allowed to charge the Canuck players without a penalty called in that series...other than that, he is generally hurt and not playing.
  15. look what happened when Peters left Carolina....Carolina made the playoffs and they won their first round against the defending champs (something Peters never did for the Canes)....maybe Peters is the problem.
  16. with Timmins coming soon...two more first round picks this year....to think Cole was available as a UFA this past summer, exactly the player the Canucks needed to make their "D" better. If JB signed him and de Haan, instead of going with Pouliot and Hutton...the Canucks would have been much better defensively.
  17. Flames played 5 more games than the Canucks.... Canucks have the 10th OA and pick 9th in each round thereafter....JB needs to make it count.
  18. excellent term, and bang for the buck...definitely a gem....found his game (rekindled)...plus he is big and strong and can intimidate..
  19. Eric Staal....3yrs at $3.5M...193pts (avg 62pts/yr)....not too shabby...sign as a UFA the same year LE did
  20. Cozens may be available at 10 Broberg highlites look good though.
  21. JB is always of the mind set that teams need vet players to compete...he is 26 years old this year and will grow with this team...give him 4 to 5 years and he will be 31 years old...in his prime. Look at his +/- in his first three years playing with Pearson....can see them rekindling that dominance with Bo
  22. UFA Dman, Tryamkin, OJ, Hughes, Woo...they're coming...team needs to get more consistency from their top players...Toffoli will fit well with Pearson now and for years to come when this team will compete in two years. Virtanen has assets but he is very inconsistent...he has been since the Hitman days (doesn't seem things will change); whereas Toffoli and Pearson together will bring big bodies and consistency..add Horvat...this would be a power line that could wear other teams top lines down and score. "D" take longer to develop because they need to transition from boy strength to man strength...JB needs to add an elite dman through UFA to compliment this team's young dmen in two years when they will be competing.
  23. Pearson and Toffoli made a strong line in LA...they also were a top line in the "A"...they've played with each other a lot and have chemistry together...Pearson, Horvat, and Toffoli on the second line
