Does Gaudreau have a summer job as a jockey?  

Gaudreau carries the horse and he still wins all the races!!

Virt reminds me of Raffi

Because you don't watch much hockey?

I just do not understand the trade at all and the justification verbally stated right after it.  Love the Bae trade.....stunned by this one still.

Has to be ELC doesnt it? We could only offer him maximum entry level.

Yes.  I was being facetious with how bad benning has been with handing out contracts to plugs like sbisa and dorsett.

 

I do hope dimjim gets Demko signed though so he can play in the AHL next year.  One of the few bright spots for our nucks.

what IF demko doesnt sign with us tho 

Seems like dimjim wants him signed as soon as his season ends. Hopefully it happens.  If dimjim could he would give him a 3 year 3.6 mill per year contract.

Still shocking benning trades our good prospect for a small frail centre that does nothing for this team when the west has all big skilled centres.  A new low for benning.

 

This clown needs to quit making trades.

Man this guy really gets the excitement up for the team.  The Canucks have always needed this type of player.

 

Lets hope it all works out.....that would be awesome.  Just thinking of having Nikita and Pedan on the blueline gets the hope up for the future of this team.

Or maybe the coach wants a line change? If you're gassed on a 20 second shift you shouldn't even play at all. Mostly everyone can last 20 seconds....

It does not appear the coach is the one calling him off.  He has consistently been  off the ice after very short shifts compared to his line mates.  He also appears gassed after one hard skating moment...unlike a guy like Konecny (sp).  Maybe it has a little to do with having played with the nucks as the NHL coaches certainly expect shorter shifts then junior coaches.

[Jake Virtanen | #18 | RW]

Everyone keeps talking about how Virtanen seems to have low hockey IQ.  I was really happy about the pick originally.

Lately though watching him is very concerning.  He does not look that fast at the WJC compared to many others players.  Even more concerning is how he appears to be able to skate for about 20 seconds before being totally gassed and having to get off the ice.

Both of these things, in addition to the fact that he never appears to know where to go, are very concerning to me at this point.  I hope to hell he can figure it out eventually.

Amazing that the comets win with their four centres out lmao.  Amazing!!

guance seems more suited to the wing

He is not a new Canuck prospect. So how does anyone continue to spell his name wrong?
