  1. Gaunce and Shinkaruk are looking like pretty good prospects right now; a year or two ago many labeled them "busts". Guess some posters on CDC can learn from this revelation when they crap on Virtanen's lack of production.
  2. First NCAA goal (after around 20~ shots in 4 games).
  3. 1A so far in the 1st period. Plays on the top PP unit and centers the second line during even-strength.
  4. His team is very bad though. I think they've only won two games so far.
  5. 2 assists so far. Seems to be centering the second line and not playing wing anymore.
  6. Pastrnak is looking like the steal to be honest.
  7. So you can keep living in the past?
  8. At the Penticton tournament, he went into almost every board battle.
  9. Judging from the prospect game against Jets, I'd say Virtanen played better than Ehlers. Other than the 2 on 1 pass Ehlers made in front of the net, he wasn't as impressive offensively as his junior stat-line indicates; Petan played better than Ehlers, but both were quite soft and knocked off the puck easily.
  10. If Jake can turn into a Marchand I would be so happy (probably with less of the Marchand antics).
  11. You can't possibly mean he worked on his overall game; from what I read on CDC he only shoots and hits.
  12. During Button's mock draft he said Virtanen has the highest upside in the draft. So it boggles my mind why he would rank Virtanen so low while also having him go 6th to us.
  13. Reading some of these posts led me to one conclusion: RyJo, Kane, Lucic, Weber...etc will all come back to play for their hometown team. YES!
  14. Wow someone that actually thinks before they criticize Benning. Although I agree, I feel like he should have taken the deal for Bieksa.
  15. I think Benning just wants copies of Bo; he wants guys that are mature and with great character.
  16. Actually Okposo, Pacioretty, Schwartz... to name a few were all drafted out of USHL.
  17. http://www.tsn.ca/radio/vancouver-1040-i-1410/button-boeser-can-score-goals-in-multiple-ways-1.319570 I know people don't like Button much around here, but here is what he has to say about Boeser. Short version: - one of the best scorers in this draft - one of the best scorers in several draft - compared to Kucherov in terms of the way he score goals - thinks his scoring will translate to the NHL level - good defensively - very competitive - doesn't take shortcuts, very hard working ...much more but I did not have time to finish it. Take what you will from this because he sounds like a huge Boeser-fanboy. I love this pick though so I guess I'm a huge fan boy too
  18. I think that would have been the smarter move. Even if Boeser was gone, Merkley would have been a good consolation prize.
