Kudos to Arizona for really screwing it up and led to us taking the perfect guy at the perfect spot.
-
Do you think Quinn Hughes will make the Canucks line up next season?
-
Yes
-
Hope he develops into top pairing offensive D-man
-
As much as I would like to see EP win it, I think it should go to either Hedman or Backstrom. Hedman for the Norris and Backstrom was a key player to bring the cup to Washington.
-
I don’t understand why so much negativity on a 20 year old, smart and calming defenseman who has a good season playing professionally for the first time in his career.
-
For those of you who are mad, Jokiharju didn’t make it as well.
-
Will we see EP vs. Bo next at the WC? Will Bo be tasked to shut him down when Canada plays Sweden?
-
Tough to lose out in a sweep, but Tri-City Americans are taking the WHL by storm. I have no idea how they were only a wild card team.
-
The Sedins have retired, thus this summer they won't be doing the kind of work out which would prepare one to get ready for the NHL season. EP will likely receive advice from the two as well as all the trainers and staffs and develops the best kind of work out program for him.
-
Because his team is so dominant, they probably wins the final in less than 6 games. Fewer games played means he will have fewer chances to pass the Sedins.
-
If he goes on a monstrous run in the finals, he could be ahead of both Henrik and Daniel. But I don't think he will catch Axel Holmstrom. I looked up Holmstrom. He is a 7th round pick of the Red Wings in 2014. He averages less than 0.5 PPG in the SHL and AHL regular seasons, but that one playoffs he had in 2014-15 was more of a surprise. Looking at his stats, he seems to raise his game in the playoffs.
-
It's tough for Edler too. He has been playing with the twins ever since he entered the NHL and I can tell in the last few days in the interviews with Edler that he is barely holding the tears back.

We gave our fairwells to a pair of Swede who sweat and bled for the Canucks for 18 years. We will see the arrival of the next duo as soon as soon as next season: Pettersson and Dahlen!

He is definitely got the skill and the heart to play. He shows lots of skill and passion in his game and I think he will succeed in the NHL. However odds are still against him as he is only 5’7” and 156 pounds. As much as the NHL is moving towards speed and skill, his frame is still on the smaller side of the spectrum. Even if he is a Flames prospect, I still wish him the best. Cheering for the Royals locally, I want the organization to have a good reputation on producing NHLers.

Alright, I got tickets to Game 7 if there is one. Make it happen guys!
-
Got tickets to the game next Saturday and I thought it would be a mean nothing game but now with Gaudette here it is going to be great!
-
I sure hope we do win that one cuz I am going to the game
-
For absolutely selfish reasons, I hope North Eastern gets eliminated next week so Gaudette can sign his ELC soon and play a few games with the big club to finish the season. I got tickets to the 31st game against the Blue Jackets and it will make the game much more meaningful to watch if I get to see Gaudette play
-
Fun fact, the game i attended between the Portland Winterhawks and Victoria Royals a couple of weeks ago, Glass actually played the wing. Skylar Mckenzie is in the middle between Glass and Bellows on that top line. Which look to me that Glass may have play the majority of the season on the wing as well.

Heponiemi gets to play with Steenbergen (it would of been his D+1 year by birth) and Gawdin (20-year-old drafted in 2015) while Lind's linemates are Topping, Twarynski, Mattson or Foote. Most of Lind's linemates are yet to be drafted, and none of them socre close to the point per game of Heponiemi's linemates (and for those of you wondering, Dillon Dube does not play on the same line as Lind, they are only out there together for the PP). Lind is basically carrying the offence for the Rockets alone. He was getting the Boeser treatment down in the AHL by opposition. Whenever he has the puck, they try to box him out and not give him any shooting late. What his doing is very impressive.

His draft year stat wise in the USHL wasn't very good. He only managed 30 points in 50 games. In comparison with other forwards drafted in the first round out of USHL that draft: 17th overall pick Kyle Connor: 71 points in 38 GP 21st overall pick Colin White: 17 points in 20 GP 23rd overall pick Brock Boeser: 68 points in 57 GP However, Judd Brackett (head of amateur scout) at the time spent a lot of time scouting the USHL. He saw Gaudette doing everything right but just seems to be snake bitten and not getting the result. Perhaps it's bad bounces and bad luck, but at the time 30 points in 50 games is a lot lower in comparison to the ones I mentioned above. He wasn't thought of or ranked very high. In fact, go back to the first few pages when he first got drafted, most members on CDC wasn't high on him as well. He seem to really start figuring it out in the 2nd half of his first NCAA season and he never looked back from then. He had 30 points in 41 games in his freshman year with the Huskies, but 25 of the the 30 points came from the last 21 games of that season and he only managed 5 points in his frist 20 NCAA games. It seems like he figured it out early in his NCAA days, and kept the ball rolling ever since. It comes from good scouting, because our scouts saw him doing the right things and perhaps saw the potential and upside of him and decided to take a chance at him in the 5th round. In fact the Canucks also had a pick in pick #144 that year, the pick was just slightly above the pick they used to select Gaudette (Gaudette was selected 149), and they use that pick to select Carl Neill. Neill is no longer part of the organization and his playing hockey in the OUAA. So at the time, even the Canucks didn't have Gaudette rank so high as they chose to take Neill before selecting him. How good Gaudette is is still yet to be determined. NCAA stats cannot be much of an indicator for NHL success, some players seems to jump in a produce right away (Boeser), and some guys might struggle and never really find their game in the NHL (Zac Dalpe remember him?). I know this board gets overly hype (including myself) about Gaudette. But every time I get hyped up, my conciousness will tell me to tone down the expectations and see how he does when he comes in. Having seen interviews of him, I like the fire he has in himself and he seems to be the kind of guy that is very determined to be a NHL player and will work as hard as he could to achieve this goal. For that matter, I like his chances in the NHL.

Brady Tkachuk's situation remind me a lot of Alex Nylander. Both with a father and older brother have successes in the NHL and a lot is expected out of him. Since his birthdate, he is almost as he is draft eligible last year, we can look at his stats this year, and compare it with some of the prospects' D+1 year. The stats he is putting up isn't quite as impressive (not as good as Mittlestadt or Poehling). I think he is overrated because of his last name.

Exactly. Every time Habs fan boast to me about how we gave them Weise for nothing and I just told them look up Adam Gaudette.
