By the time that the team is clear out of playoffs contention, wouldn't mind to see him called up to start a game and see how he fares at the NHL level. We still have both goalies signed through next season, would still like to see Demko take some more time to develop and polish his skill at the AHL level before coming up to play in the NHL full time. By the 2019-2020 season I see him splitting the net 50/50 with Marky and be a full time NHL starter at 2020-2021.

Gotta admit, when we first drafted him I was afraid he might become another Patrick White or Jordan Schroeder with our luck. But after watching his interviews after the draft and follow his play in NCAA, I think he had the potential to be a good first line player. Right now, he is trending to become a franchise player for this team. Couldn't be happier to see how he turns out!

Fun fact Dube and Lind are actually only 3 months apart in terms of their age differences. Because of Lind’s birthdate, he was ineligible for the 2016 draft. Dube is born in July of 1998 while Lind is born in October of 1998. Personally, I like Lind’s game more than Dube’s.

Probably cuz of my hatred towards the Flames and because he is a Flames prospect as well as the two are on the same junior team and I thought Lind is just overall a better player than him.

It’s a joke that Dube makes it over him. Lind is a better player and I know Dube plays LW and Canada is thin on that position, but Lind can play all 3 forward positions and can be as effective on the left side as he is on the right. He is producing at a better PPG rate than Dube on the same team while playing with lesser line mates as well.

TC hasn't made the best choices over the years on who should or should not make the roster. There are reasons why Canada has only won 1 Gold Medal in the past 8 years. I hope Lind makes them kick themselves with his play the rest of the year. Just as Samuelsson did when he was snub by Team Sweden for the Olympics in 2010.

Oilers representative: Nugent-Hopkins Avalanche representative: Yakupov Canucks represntative: Sam Gagner Gagner was on the Oilers losing teams the longest and also was there to witness most of the 1st overall picks they have got. Dahlin is a Swede, and Swedes usually finds a way to land on the Canucks. I like our lottery chances

I doubt most of them even know CDC existed

Gadjovich-Pettersson-Boeser Goldobin-Horvat-Dahlen Lind-Gaudette-Virtanen Granlund-Gaunce-Lockwood MacEwan Juolevi-Tanev Pouliot-Gudbranson Hutton-Stecher Brisebois, Chatfield Demko Dipietro

EP likely went on CDC saw the comments in intermission and decided to take matter into his own hands

I was at a Victoria Royals vs Kelowna Rockets game earlier this season. And I actually thought Lind plays very well without and away from the puck. It was also shown that his coach trusted him so much that when there was a 5 minute PP for the Royals late in the third in a tie game (including the 1st minute of 5 on 3), Lind was out there for the majority of the 5 minute PK and the PK resulted in success without allowing a goal. Rockets later won the game, and that PK was crucial. For that game, I was actually more impressed with Lind's play without the puck than his play with the puck.

TSN will likely give all credits to Liljegren even if Pettersson does all the work

We also have to think about the 50 contract limit for next season. We will likely bring in Adam Gaudette and I believe guys like Megna and Chaput will come off the books would free up 2 contract spots. Sedins may or may not retire, we will see what they do. We should have enough contract spot to give this guy a try.

I have been looking at this guy's as well. He plays defense, being 5'11 and 170pb does seem like a disadvantage in the NHL. However, he seems to be very smart, and knows where to be. If he can be at 180-85 pd with his 5'11 height (i.e. Ryan Ellis's frame), he could be a good puck moving D. He seems to know where to go and is very smart in going to right place to generate offense, at the very least he could be a PP specialists. He could be our next season's signing similar to Philip Holm, bring him in on a 2 year contract, spend the first year in Utica to get use to NA ice and go from here. At the same time I believe other teams are looking at him as well.

I heard on radio the other day in an interiew with Ryan Biech, who is basically stating that the difference between the SHL and SWE-1 leagues aren't as big of a differene between NHL and AHL. Since every year there are SHL teams being relagated to the SWE-1 league and some SWE-1 league team can play their way up into the SHL, it shows that playing against a good SWE-1 League team may be tougher than playing against a bottom feeding SHL team. Overall, SHL is definitely more talented than the SWE-1, but the difference isn't as dramatic and Dahlen's number at the SWE-1 league suggests that he should be another guy Canucks fan be excited about. I will be very curious on how both Dahlen and Pettersson do when they come play in North American ice, with a lot smaller surface and a different style game, I wonder how well they adjust to it. Their ability to adjust to smaller ice determines whether or not they would need AHL time or just straight into the NHL.

I am just proud that we may have 2 franchise players in the past 3 drafts without even winning a single draft lottery. And one of them was drafted in a year we made the playoffs (Boeser)!

I hope the organization gives him a role after his contract is up and let him work with the team. He can definitely provide a lot of help for the next phase of young guys stepping in for us, bring him back like we did with Manny Malhotra!

Ok so how did a 3-1 Lakers lead become 3-5 Lela within the first 5 min of the third?! That’s Canucks level kind of choke jk, but how though?

To think we may have 2 elite franchise level forward without winning the draft lottery even once is insane!

I agreed. World Juniors is only a short tournament of 4-7 games. Certain players could get hot and develop chemistry quicker with their linemates than others and they would look a lot better than a lot of people consider. Meanwhile some really good players could be on a cold streak and doesn't get some of the bounces and their points total will look like they are not very good. It's a good tournament for young kids to be part of, as it is an honour to represent your country at a world stage. As well as learning to play under high pressure because it's such a quick tournament, poor plays could get you right out of the door It's also a fun tournament to watch for fans and proudly cheer for their country, but in the end of the day, performances in the World Juniors should not be use to indicate whether a prospect is legit or not.

FYI, I have a similar version of the 2nd unit PP: Gadjovic (net front) Lind (rightside one timer) Gaudette (in the middle) Goldobin (leftside one timer) Stecher (point man)

Future 1st unit PP could look something like this: Horvat as net front presence Boeser at the right side, Ovechkin spot with one timer Pettersson at the left side for the left side one timer Juolevi as the point Dman Dahlen as the guy who is down the middle receiving and making passes, and retrieving lose pucks. Horvat (net front) Boeser (rightside one timer) Dahlen (in the middle retrieving lose pucks) Pettersson (leftside one timer) Juolevi (puck moving point man) This unit would definitely be one of the top PP units
