TG has said that he wants a productive 4th line that would resemble another 3rd line and play more than 5 min. a game. In Utica TG roled 4 lines with his 4th line getting as much time as his 3rd line. If Jake plays on the 3rd or 4th line, he would get enough ice time to continue to develop in the Canucks line up. If he is able, the Canucks need his speed and size in the line up because the team seems pretty soft among their existing forwards. I think we are going to see a very different Jake Virtanen who is more ready now than he has been the last 2 season.

I recall AV splitting them up on occation. Its been done before.

Doesn't having other teams scouts and commentators saying it help give one a little more optimism?
-
Who will be on the Comets defense this season other than GB & JS? Also, if GB played out of this world at camp would the Canucks make room for him? I know this may not be realistic but just a fun thought.

Getting 4 or 5 prospects that realistically could end up in your line-up in the future is pretty amazing and I am not sure if it has ever happened for the Canucks before (or for anyone else). This is the result of having a guy like Jim as a GM.

Is his offensive side good enough for him to be a PP guy in the NHL in a few years?

I think if he plays this year he may be better suited to playing with Bo. I am not sure if his game fits with their cycle game (Granlund seems better with them). As a shooter, Bear and Bo setting him up for his shot seems to fit better. This is just my gut feelings though and not based on particular stats or anything.
-
I hope you are right but I just don't see it as a sure thing. It would be nice though.
-
9 games is just not a large enough sample size to judge him and say he is making the team. I don't think he is a lock for opening night and that is not a bad thing. Going to the Comets could be a great opportunity for him improve his speed and confidence.

Isn't Gadjovich a left winger?

Rummors abound that Lastname has spent the summer with Willy Nylander in Sweden and they have become fast friends. Willy is going to Leaf's management to ask for a trade to Vancouver to play on a line with Lastname and Jake Virtanen. He wants to help Jake dispell any dought that the Canucks made the right choice in drafting him first.
-
I really wonder if it would be too much to have both Troy and Jordan in the line up. Can we have 2 undersized d-men in the line up considering the size of our competition in our division?
-
I think that with a well healed wrist and a year of settling in and feeling comfortible here, Eric will have a good year and provide much needed toughness in our line-up.
-
I often ask myself the same thing.

Just as a side note for fun. The anceint Greek root word for Rock or Mass of Rock is Petra. The way he is built seems to fit his name.
-
Tanev for Demers straight up would be a horrible trade. No way they make that trade.

I think the Canucks would really like to see Jake in the line up this year and with the improvement he has made off the ice, he maybe actually more ready now than he was last year or the year before. JB, TL and TG are all saying he has made big steps in maturity and have been quite positive about Jake's progress. IMO (and in the end of the day thats what most of us are giving here) I think Jake will do well this year and suprise us all. In the end of the day TL, JB and TG are way more informed than any of us and I will trust what they are saying about were Jake is at in his developement and his readiness for this coming season.
-
Is it possible that we see Petrus and or Jonah suprise everyone and force the Canucks to keep them this season? I recognize this is a long shot but these things do happen sometimes. I realize it doesn't happen for the Canucks (our luck isn't that good usually) but may be our luck can change.
-
Isn't the point being made that he is one of the best defensive defensemen in the league?
-
He said, she said is a terrible form of debate. Give us at least something to prove your point instead of just his friend telling your friend. Sounds like that game we played as kids called Chinese Telephone.

2017 NHL Draft - Chicago, Illinois June 23-24 2017
dpn1 replied to hyper00's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
I think JB has proven he drafts well. The Canucks has never in their history had so many potental NHLers in their system. We will be seeing the players JB has chosen start to be elegible to play in the AHL. I have confidence that our 5th pick will be Glass. He seems to be an ideal center to complement Bo. -
The things I've heard from commentators (TSN, SportsNet ect.) Goldy seems to be a bit ecclectic and flighty. Point being that he may not be responsible defensively enough to play in the NHL. Dahlen seems to have a high hockey IQ and more solid in the defensively.
-
How do you all think Goldobin and Dahlen measure up against each other? I am wondering if Dahlen may be the more complete player. They seem close offensively but Dahlen maybe a better defensive player. He may have a better chance at making the team than Goldobin does.
-
I can't believe that people can just throw comments like this without any proof to back it up. If he was doing all this partying don't you think someone would snap a few pics and post them on the internet. All I've seen are a few pics of him working out and rollerblading with the other prospects around Stanley Park. Do the people posting this crap realize that no one believes it. When I see proof (like a pic on the internet) I will believe it but how about we show the kind of maturity we expect from him and not post this kind of BS.
-
I noticed that Jonathan Dahlen isn't there. Does this mean that he is on the outs with these guys as well? He has been is Vancouver working out with these guys. Seems like a stretch to me.
