  1. OOH man I could totally see that happening. Groot is bound to draw attention from the league when he's an RFA. Knowing Benning he'll match a $7M offer sheet and ruin us.
  2. Yes but maybe their advice for him was to bulk up. Also, as others have stated, many players have their own trainers and don't rely on the Canucks for that. Come on man...
  3. Maybe he thought he needed to get really big and it was muscle gains. It's possible, but either way maybe the Canucks should give their prospects a better guide of what is expected of them. If they gave him a target weight and specific goals for the off-season, this could have been avoided.
  4. Or it could be out-dated. My god if he had to drop 30 lbs from September, he had a serious issue and should never have made the team.
  5. Soooo... How about that Virtanen?
  6. It's cuz he found his stuff bro. His secret stuff.
  7. Seems to be on quite the roll, I think Jake found his stuff
  8. I bet you Rodin is game ready but Benning doesn't want to play him until there are only 39 games left in the season. Why? On that 40th game played, he becomes expansion draft-able and we would have to protect him. BOOOM EVERYTHING I JUST SAID IS ALL A LIE!!!
  9. We should look at the Swift Current Broncos though, Artyom Minulin and Aleksi Heponiemi are right dece.
  10. I drafted Nolan Patrick onto the Canucks on NHL 17 and he took over for Henrik Sedin after 1 year, so we should definitely draft him! He went second overall and I traded Edmonton a used condom and a pair of Tacks for that pick.
  11. At the 10:40 mark he starts to get pretty nervous!
  12. There are a couple guys on the Swift Current Broncos that are likely to go a bit later in the draft, both of whom would be good prospects in my opinion. Heponiemi and Minulin. Heponiemi is a small but fast and extremely intelligent player. (projected to go around 93rd) Minulin is a big defenceman that can put up decent numbers and play well defensively. (projected to go around 39th)
  13. Did anyone see the game last night? how did he look?
  14. Burrows is a legend. Only started to really get good around the age of 23. A good reminder for the current fans!
  15. It's not Jake, it's the style of play that they are trying to make him play. Let him play his strengths, stop trying to change him.
  16. Virtanen needs to go to Utica. Why? One great example is Subban. Think about what Subban's life would be like if he was currently on the Canucks. He would never get to play, WD would constantly criticize him for all his mistakes, he would not be allowed to be creative. Instead, he's on Utica where Green allows him to be the player he wants to be, and enhances that with guidance. He doesn't tell him to change how he plays, he tells him how to play that part more effectively without hindering other aspects of the game. The result? Subban lights it up in the AHL. If Virtanen could get down there, I am confident that Green would give him 1st line minutes and get him playing that energetic, hard hitting, shoot first game that Virtanen needs to do to succeed. He wouldn't tell him to hold off on hits, he wouldn't bench him for making a mistake, he would encourage him.
  17. Ya, sorry, that's his nickname. Everyone has been calling him that.
  18. When I was watching I kept noticing how slow Groot was in comparison to the forwards he was trying to cover.
  19. Lol groot is a highly respected superhero. Tree is insulting.
  20. I didn't know that happened, who said it to him? We could always call him Groot!
