  1. Out of the players JB took last year, 5 or 6 have a decent chances to become NHL players. Has anyone ever seen that high of a percentage actually becoming players in the NHL?
  2. Jake has played in play-off games and was part of a WJC team that won gold. His physical play at the WJC had a major impact. I know at the 2nd WJC he got too physical but that was just one situation. Jake gets flack for it but the team lost, not just him.
  3. I last years draft was today where would EP be chosen? I am thinking 2 after NH. Am I off on this?
  4. I am thinking that OJ should spend the summer with Jake. He improved his conditioning last year by leaps and bounds. I was thinking the same for Kole Lind.
  5. Jonathan had a great game last night for Utica. I believe he had 1 goal and 1 assist in his second game now. He looked good at both ends of the ice.
  6. We seem to have a major advantage with JB doing our drafting. At this point so far he doesn't seem to have many misses, even in the mid to late rounds. This is exposing how truly horrible our drafting has been in the past.
  7. It confuses me why people are pushing so much to sign Kane. With his track record, I wouldn't want him anywhere near our young players who need good mentors.
  8. Amazing post. I haven't laughed so hard in a long while.
  9. He is another player Jimbo has picked in later rounds that seem to be very promising.
  10. I have to say, I take posts at face value. It is fine to ask what his contract will look like. I didn't sense any animosity in the question posted. I have to take the post for what it is, a question. Sometimes a loaf of bread is just a loaf of bread. No need to read into it any more than what it says. As I posted earlier, Jake will probably get in the neighborhood of 1.5 over 2 years. Time to chill guys.
  11. I think putting EP between JV & JG would give him all the protection he would need.
  12. I see Jake being signed for 2 years at about 1.5 million a year. He has made some good strides this year and I think he will have a real breakout season next year.
  13. SB at 25 years old is not going to improve much more. He is what he is . I think that he won't be a Canuck next season as we have others that are younger with more years to improve (like Goldy, JG, JD and EP).
  14. I realize this will not be received that well but here it goes. I have been a little surprised that Adam has not been very physical and lacks the push back that many have talked about in reference to what people said about him prior to his signing his contract. I thought he would be a little more noticeable. Just wondering what some of you think? I still think he is going to be a good player but thought I would see a little more from him.
  15. He doesn't shy away from rough play at all. I have really liked his play and impressed with how aggressive he is.
  16. I don't know about you all but when Jake is not in the lineup we look slow. Apparently Jake has the flu and couldn't play tonight.
  17. Now that AG is here, can he still go to Utica for the playoffs?
  18. PS, That music video brings back too many memories of hair that was far too long and how much I hated the whole Synth thing in Rock & Roll.
  19. I have been watching the Comet's game and they have so many injuries that they could really use him right now.
  20. I have high hopes for Adam but the NHL is far different than NCAA. He won't have the time and space he enjoys at the University level. I just want to be careful not to expect too much to start and be surprised if he excels right away.
  21. Yes, the Canucks signed him a few weeks ago and after his season is over he can head down there.
  22. Doesn't a team have 2 years to sign a player after his draft year?
  23. Well, Jake had a bit of a slower night tonight in the hits department but still played ok. He rung a beautiful shot off the crossbar. Just a few inches and it would have been a great goal on his off wing. Keep at it Jake and you will get there sooner than later.

    Brendan Gaunce | C/LW

    Gaunce is 6' 3" 220 lb and Jake is 6' 1" 207 lb. They are close but Gaunce is the bigger guy and just seems too passive of a player. That's how I see it but respect your right to your opinion.
