  1. I think there will be BIG changes in NE no matter how this season finishes. Their OC and DC are looking to be moving on, and (rumours abound) so is their HC.
  2. All class. His parents must be very proud.
  3. Totally agree. He's playing with more 'bite', which we definitely need on our team. He needs to continue to play that way though, which is no easy to do. He will need to accept to stay in the NHL he will need to be prepared for a rough night each game. I wonder if that's in his personality? He seems a really fun loving kind of person.
  4. Signing early this spring, and playing some late season games burns a full year off his ELC too. That’s a big lure too.
  5. Licking out, and getting Dhalin could complete our rebuild. We would have (hopefully) a 25 minute dman in a couple years, to go with Juiolevvi, and our other younger d. Our forward prospects are looking pretty good, and so is our future goaltending. I think a true elite dman could make a HUGE difference for us.
  6. I guess we could do the Columbus, and trade our number one (young) center for a (young) stud D? That would hurt A LOT though.
  7. Considering D (usually) take longer to develop, maybe our timing for the meshing of maturity between our young D, and young Forwards is backwards? We really need some of our already drafted D to make HUGE steps, or our forwards will be out of their prime years before the D we draft now will be ready.
  8. Totally agree. Guddy has a decent +/- because he makes it really hard on opponents to get to the high scoring areas. Without the weak goals our two guys tend to let in, I think Guddy would have an even better +/-
  9. You are once again very right Toews. When it comes to our players (especially prospects compared with other teams' guys) I lose objectivity, and become mostly a "fanatic". In my defense, this is Canucks Dot Com though.
  10. Add selfish to his list of qualities too. Not a guy who builds respect from his mates.
  11. Your opinion on Pettersson is completely wrong. I doubt any of the Swedish forwards, other than Pettersson play in the NHL. As for their defense, clearly ?Dhalin is a future NHLer, but guys like Lligegrn (why even bother to learn this guy’s proper spelling) are just too small and soft for here.
  12. EP was easily the most skilled, talented, and dominant forward on his team. He will be a 100 point NHL superstar. Alex Nylander will likely be playing in the Euro leagues by age 23. Canucks are great, and so are our prospects! (Are you a Canuck’s Fan?)
  13. People who don’t yelp a VERY LOUD “OUCH”, after I run over their toes with my scooter really piss me off! It takes a lot of effort and skill to only get the toes, and not the whole foot. I deserve a friggin’ “OUCH”don’t I?
  14. I really don't think the other teams we play are afraid of being run (hard) by any of our D, other than Guddy. Plus, Guddy can take hits to free up pucks. Tanev tries, but gets hurt. Our other guys don't do it at all, excepting Edler, who is poking at pucks now too. We are WAY TOO EASY to play against. Who, on D, in our prospect pool, will bring much needed 'heavy' play? We need to trade for young, tough, and skilled Dmen, who are nasty to play against. IMHAO.
  15. Other than Gudbranson, who (on our D) is not weak? They are all way too easy to play against. If a guy is not putting up points, then he sure as heck better be either a fabulous shut down guy (Tanev) or an intimidating force (Guddy - who could do more of that, I think). I really don't see where the other Dmen fit?
  16. Is it a rant if you're being accurate and honest though? You're expressing what a lot of Canuck's fans are feeling about these two players, especially Loui.
  17. I'm wondering if a guy like Goldy needs to have more freedom from the coaches to make mistakes? It's like he's thinking way too much, and not simply playing.
  18. Is one of those guys you? Who are they?
  19. Interesting points. For Tryamkin, his family seems to come ahead of hockey. That’s likely the biggest reason he went home. We are losing a lot right now, and have been horrible for more than three seasons now. Guys with character will come out of the losing stronger. Bo, Boeser, and other younger guys we have will be fine. We need this top five pick, and (maybe?) one more.
  20. Exactly. Our re Oreo in the 3 on 3 is not very good, so why not try Jake (who is our fastest player) and Goldy, who has elite skill? What’s the harm?
