    Jett is my dark horse to make the big club this season.

    Jake never was much to this team. He was never good enough. Mess was such a great player and he just shit the bed so profoundly that he has to be the worst.

    I am choosing Jett as my surprise player to Crack the opening night roster. What do you think?

    What are the chances that Aatu comes into camp ready to go and takes the #3 center spot for opening night? With his size and decent face off % I think we may see him on opening night.

    He has always reminded me of Pavel Datsyuk.

    Woo's whole game seems to have taken a big step forward this season. He has played in all situations and has excelled. I really think he has a good chance at being that 3rd pairing guy on the right side next season. It shows we need to have patience with our young guys; especially with defencemen.

    Just a question for some with more knowledge than I have. Is Pete's improvement in his +/- just a result of scoring more or has he improved his defensive game this year? He was +1 last year and he is +16 this year. Just curious.

    Isn't this his Draft +1 season?

    So was Filip Forsberg.

    Don't forget Rathbone on the left. I just wish there was an easy way out of the OEL contract. Getting rid of Myers and OEL would be ideal if at all possible. It seems if we could do that, we would have no more anchor contracts weighing us down.

    I wouldn't say that after just one game. It is interesting that they are both the same age though.

    It sure is nice to have the players to actually ice 2 dmen on the first and second power play units (Hronik and Hughes, Bear and Rathbone). Spending the year in the "A" has really helped Jack a lot.

    I have been watching the Abby games and have really enjoyed them especially this season. I would agree that Breezer and Wolanin have been outstanding. Breezer has shown a consistency in his game that he has not been evident before. This level of consistency is the difference between playing in Vancouver and playing in Abbotsford. Wolanin has been Abby's best player but I am not so sure about Juulsen. I actually think that Jett Woo deserved a call up before Juulsen did this time around. Jett has been playing well and I think his speed has improved enough to make him effective as a RD call up before Juulsen.

    I think it was a huge mistake to not have replaced Trevor Linden as Prez over Jimbo. | think having a team approach (Prez and GM) is the better way of getting the job done most effectively. I remember at the time wishing Jim had a President over him that had strengths where Jim was most weakest. Rutherford was actually one of the guys I thought would have worked well with Jimbo. I like what the guys are doing right now GM/PA and tthe Prez. They have hit a balence that eluded Jimbo and his team. Having a good, well balanced front office is huge and will go a long way in giving us the kind of results that seem to have been non existent here in Vancouver.

    Jimbo was the AGM of the team that beat us in 2011. Considering who was the GM and what he went on to do in Edmonton, Jim had a major role in putting together that team in Boston. Jim was better than some say and maybe less affective because of uncontrollable circumstances like bad luck in the lottery and having 1 prospect (Bo Horvat) coming from the previous management group. Make no dought about it, Jim couldn't negotiate his way out of a wet paper bag but when Button and Mackenzie on TSN say he is a good drafter, I would agree with them. I think what you said about Aquaman yapping in his ear makes a lot of sense.

    How has our leading scorer on the farm (who is also a rookie) not gotten a shot on the big club yet? In spite of not being fast enough apparently, he has been a solid winger that plays in all situations and in spite of his size, plays fearlessly with an edge. He has even played a little center on the PK. I don't get why he hasn't got a shot yet.

    I am a bit surprised that Woo didn't get a call up ahead of Juulson. I have really liked his game this season and thought he deserved a shot on the right side.

    I am excited to see how Big Mac does. I think he is going to thrive next season and if he has a similar start to his NHL career as Brock did as a NCAA player, everyone will be excited about our new signing.
  20. dpn1
    The last few games Karlsson has been playing center especially on the pk. Also, he is better than ok as a scorer. He is leading all forwards in scoring all in his rookie year in the AHL. I think he maybe better than some are giving him credit for.

    I'm on team tank but it always feels good to beat the Leaf's. Especially when we really beat them up the way we did last night.
  22. dpn1
    I am all in on that Bro.

    Sometimes it is hard to read our fan base. First we hang on to bottom 6 guys too long and get nothing for them. Then its we don't have enough draft picks. Now we are upset we traded a 4th line plug for a 4th round pick. What is going to make everyone happy? I am starting to think it is impossible to make everyone happy and I've always thought of myself as an optimist. If the deal that is made that involves a draft pick, so what. As long as its a fair deal and it helps the team, it has to be considered. I liked the Hronik deal. Yes we may have over paid a bit but it wasn't astronomical and we saved on the years of development and get a player that fits well with our core. That's a win in my mind.

    Getting a quality RD was always going to cost us something of equal value (the same goes for any team). There just seems to be more LD out there than RD for some reason. There is still time to make another trade or two. Then there is the time leading up to the draft to make some more trades. Our Prez is kinda' known for that. Besides, we are drafting 1st over all this year and you know what that means.
