  1. Devils are picking number one! Sucks the Canucks dropped, but I'm glad we didn't drop out of the top 10.

    Olli Juolevi | #48 | D

    A lot of people believed Juolevi was the best player available. One could argue he had a more impressive draft season than Tkachuk, because he won the gold medal with Finland as well as playing on the same team as Tkachuk. He has played well everywhere he has been, which shows adaptability and high IQ enabling him to form chemistry with other players. There is no reason to believe that will stop at the NHL level other than, albeit concerning, injuries.

    I too wanted Matthew Tkachuk, but defense remains a bigger need. Juolevi has shown a lot of promise, and it''s just unlucky he's been marred by injury. If we draft Byram, we could have a solid D-core with players we have drafted and developed to fit our system.
  4. I've scoffed at people saying he's proving himself to be a top 5 goalie. But he is a very good goalie, and we should resign him. We have a good goalie situation.
  5. Yea I would rather see him thrive in the playoffs than enter a tire fire.
  6. Wish he could come back to retire in Vancouver, but I know that's not going to happen.
  7. Reading Pittsburgh's HF forum has been the most enjoyable thing I've done in awhile.
  8. That's right. I remember him playing center. Where do you think he'll slide in with the Predators?
  9. Will miss his toughness and leadership qualities, but his defense left a lot to be desired. We needed wingers, and Pearson was good with the Kings. I think we should play him with Horvat.
  10. Getting Granlund and Simmonds gives them excellent depth at RW. Hard to believe they gave up so little.
  11. I think Nashville won this trade. Granlund is a real good player. Although Minnasota gets a young player, and this helps their tank. Fully expect them to fall out of a playoff spot.
  12. Gretzky is the best player of all time, arguably in any sport. Messier was a great player, but no one was on Gretzky's level.
  13. The part I liked the most was the part you didn't bold. Scott Stevens is my favourite defenseman of all time.
  14. We clearly would have risen in the rankings if they included the recent draft class. All we were missing is a dynamic puckmoving defenseman prospect and now we have that. I think we have a top 3 prospect pool for sure. We've never been even close to that before.

    Hughes and Juolevi will be one hell of a 1, 2 punch on D. We'll have a really strong left side. Love that we added a RHD in Woo too.
  16. They didn't have to add Fox. Hamilton is way better than Hanifin. Gaudreau will struggle without Ferland's protection.
  17. His dad is one of my favourite players of all time. Stoked about this pick.
