  1. Well coach just figured out benching podz his team couldn’t get it done. Should play the kid that has 3 points in 3 games and 6 minutes. As we’ve learned from Mrs. MaCEwen you can’t make an impact in just 6 minutes.
  2. Always left wanting more in terms of roster turn around during our rebuild years. Just wasn’t there I guess. Even to date in a down year wanting to trade the older vets we could probably do without going forward and Benning is talking about extending Pearson. I felt like the rebuild was going to be selling vets for high picks and taking on cap dumps for futures like Carolina did taking Bickell from Chicago for top prospect Teravainen who turned into a 70 point player for them. Then taking on one year of Marleau getting them Seth Jarvis at 13th overall in the 2020 draft.
  3. Dahlen was self entitled and I think having Pettersson advance so quickly made him want his shot even more. His good friend who was a year younger made the NHL team. Dahlen probably felt like he could hang if Pettersson could. It’s a shame because I really liked him as a prospect. A good trade to find a guy like Linus that the scouting team really liked in his draft year!
  4. It’s awesome to see the progress! He’s still got a long ways to go yet. I believe he’s still only getting 3rd line minutes on the Comets. If he keeps producing and doing the little things hopefully he can move up the lineup! None the less it’s great to see his hard work paying off early into this year!
  5. Maybe that’s the case I know it makes receiving and passing pucks a lot tougher being on the backhand but driving the net and shooting I feel is a huge advantage. He had a nice pass on the left wing where he pulled it back to his forehand and created a 2v1! I think it’s worth a look!
  6. I still feel like he drives better and makes better plays coming off the left wing. I know it’s his off wing but with his inconsistency I still can’t believe he hasn’t been tried out on the left wing just to see if that helped.
  7. That’s a bit of an overreaction. Hoglander and Podkolzin are relentless forecheckers. Having 2 young guys on the same line isn’t ideal but I don’t think it deserves this reaction because of how good both these guys are on their 200 foot game.
  8. Max Domi is struggling and not fitting in with CBJ playing around 11 minutes a game. Has a 70 point season under his belt and plays with an edge. If he came cheap he might be worth a look.
  9. Couldn’t agree more a dman is much needed! I believe in our prospect depth and think a top 6 of Pettersson, Boeser, Miller, Horvat, Hoglander and Podkolzin will be a very good top 6. So in saying that I feel like another high profile dman is needed.
  10. With no clear cut number 1 management can make a case for anyone of them and tell us that was their BPA. Also you forgot the Swedes in Eklund and Edvinsson guys I think also go in the top 7. I’ve seen some mocks with Eklund as the 1rst overall.
  11. If we do sell I’m thinking.... Pearson Sutter 50% retained Edler (if he wants a chance at a cup) Hamonic Benn
  12. Also to have multiple 2nd or 3rd round picks getting a guy that potentially wasn’t properly scouted due to exposure or shortened season and very quickly looks to be a top 15 talent. I’ll agree that there is no clear cut number 1 pick but the top 8 guys look to be very good picks!
  13. I’d pass on having him locked in on a NMC for his ages 30-36 seasons. He’s already been trending down the last couple of seasons I don’t want that anchor of a contract. I’d rather target a dman from a team that is going have to trade or lose one through the expansion draft.
  14. The kid is a workout warrior. His preparation to do the best he can outside of the rink is what’s setting him up for his early success for sure. You don’t find many kids with his effort. He’s so strong you barely recognize that he’s only 5’9” on the ice.
  15. I think you’d have to add Podkolzin and it still might not be enough.
  16. If getting rid of Virtanen is to relieve cap space and Detroit being in on it at this point I’d do Virtanen for Alex Cotton and a 2nd round pick. The pick should be around 35th overall and Cotton was one of my favourite overager dmen in this last draft who Detroit scooped up with their 5th round pick.
  17. If it’s to relieve cap like suggested above Detroit did take that overage dman I wanted last draft. At this point Virtanen for Alex Cotton and a 2nd round pick I’d do that!
  18. This draft is very exciting! For me the top 6 of Powers, Brandt, Hughes, Eklund, Edvinsson and Johnson would be fantastic in our core of players. Obviously a dman fits better as our top 6 looks very good going forward.
  19. It will be very interesting to see who gets protected for sure. Lind is very much an uncertainty as the NHL is a much different game. So would Seattle value guys that are a little bit more proven in the NHL even if they are bottom 6 players at the moment. Or would the covet good prospects instead.
  20. I don’t understand it’s great that the pick was last years. Your saying if worded better we could have kept last years pick 20th while giving away this years which is sitting like top 5 if you look at winning percentage. I think I’d gladly give away last years while looking at what this pick could be. What would hurt is if we picked last year and knowing this year we didn’t have our pick while watching the boys struggle to get going all year long and see somebody else get our lottery pick.
  21. It is funny that it seems to be working out that way but I’d request Jake Bean the player if he had a different first name lol.
  22. What about Jake Virtanen to the Carolina Hurricanes for Jake Bean. He was a top prospect and one of the better AHL dmen last year. Carolina is stacked on d so he’s only made it into 1/4 of the games this year and he needs to be protected in the expansion draft. They might want somebody that could contribute every game. Virtanen could provide speed and physical play on the bottom 6.
  23. Zboril isn’t very good. I wouldn’t even do Virtanen or Gaudette alone in solo packages for Zboril and the 5th round pick.
  24. I’d prefer to keep Gaudette in Vancouver. Last year he was on pace for 46 points over the course of an 82 game season. That was while playing 12ish minutes average on the 3rd line with minimal PP time and we know how bad that 2nd unit was. I still think this kid can be very good so unless it’s Fabbro involved I would be a little disappointed with a Gaudette trade.
