  1. Can't go back, regardless. we have Jake and Gudbranson (via trade) from 2014 round one. Considering how nasty playoff hockey is, maybe we need those two big boppers?
  2. I had a dream we had a line of Jake - Sam Reinhart - Drouin. Come on JB. Get off your prairie boy arse and get 'er done! Jake would easily score 20 with those two.
  3. It's like a team has to survive those hits to get to the .Cup. Jake, when fit, is still 210 and crazy fast and mean. He would certainly be taking guys 'out' during games.
  4. I'm with you on this S'all. We have seen fit Jake actually effect games with his physical play, skating, and finish. We also saw fat Jake look like he is behind what's happening. I believe fit Jake will show up at this camp, he will make our team, and he will score 20 this season while being a physical force. I see a fit Jake as a perfect linemate for the Twins. Ray Ferraro said Jake is a bigger Hansen. It all adds up to a BIG year for Jake
  5. It is haunting us (Canuck's fans).
  6. Only a MORON wouldn't make that deal. (Sure, call me a moron:)
  7. Being a Canuck's fan since day one, I firgured finding humour in the great many mistakes we seem to make, is better than the alternative:(
  8. Put 30 pounds of potatoes on anyone's back. Then have them run up five flights of stairs, and immediately solve math problems. Even the most talented mathematicians will have troubles. Jake was a fatty. He will be fine now. No team with William Nylander will ever win a Stanley Cup. Don't be too shocked if the Leafs trade your boy.
  9. You write far better than me, but you said what I was trying to. Jake's been a fatty, and out of shape forever. Seeing him in shape, and under 210 posters will be shocked into realizing just how good Jake is.
  10. Anyone in today's hyper speed game would appear to have low IQ if they were fat.
  11. You're data is gonzo wrongzo. What about kids that don't play in the NHL until their early Twenties, like Johnny Hockey? Jake is big, fast, skilled, and mean. His issue was he was a fatty. Now that he realizes he needs to be in shape, he will become a force. And it happens this season. If Jake was fit and sucked, that would be an issue. He sucked because he was fat. He's going to score 20 this season.
  12. Did we even extend Rodin a contract?
  13. You win this debate, hands down. I would add that Jake has all the tools to become a great player like you mention, but he's also mean. We need his meanness.
  14. We've seen fat Jake and fit Jake. Fat Jake is crappy. Fit Jake is great. We need him to be fit Jake.
  15. I think we all like Rodin, and feel for his bad luck. We don't need any more older guys during our rebuild. Play Dahlen or Boucher or Virtanen or Goldobin in that spot. For myself I have second thoughts about a 25 year old Baer being in our top six. We have Twins, Errikson, Dorset and Sutter. That's already enough experience to shelter the under 23 crowd.
  16. The more I see him play, the more he looks like a mini Jagr. In time, Dahlen and Bo could make a very good one-two punch.
  17. Dahlen not only makes our team, but he puts up 50+ points, while playing centre.
  18. He plays a lot like Mitch Marner, especially the way he pushes the play. It's like the game goes faster with him on the ice.
  19. I hope your prediction is right. It just sounds like this draft might be a weak one, where several of the top 10 don't pan out as NHL players. Hopefully the guy we get is a good one. Just heard Pierre McGuire say that he thought this draft reminds him of '99, where the first round was full of busts.
  20. Glass will be there, but don't you think Middlestadt will be gone when we pick at 5? I just heard C. Button (on TSN 1040) saying the Canucks should move an Edler or a Tanev to move up, or collect another top ten pick.
  21. Brian Burke did it to get the Twins. Burke gave up a Dman (McCabe) who was one heck of a young talent to do it.
  22. How about we (JB trades to get another top 10 pick) get both?
  23. That's true. I hope JB can fen angle another top ten pick. Then we get two guys!
  24. I know he's good. I just thought he was a winger, considering that's where he played this season. This draft is a real crap shoot, isn't it?
