  1. I love the idea of Makar but I also hear a small voice in the back of my mind saying "be careful". There is so much hype for a smallish 2nd tier player! It might be warranted but would be devastating if it wasn't! Hearing that Vilardi, Glass or Middlestadt would be a good complement at Center tells me that is the way to go
  2. I hope he realizes he doesn't have to set the world on fire next year. If he can be an effective 3rd liner that forechecks hard and finishes checks and puts in 8-12 goals that would be an awesome addition!
  3. I met Jake a few weeks back at a market in Abby and he was picking up chicken. He was polite while I asked him a few questions about Utica, Coach Green and asked him if he is excited about training camp. He seemed genuinely jacked about proving he belongs with the Canucks without a hint of entitlement. Let's hope in July he puts his head down and works out with purpose and proves all of the doubters wrong! I am certainly rooting for the kid. It's weird meeting them in plain clothes cause you are reminded that these highly touted prospects are kids!
  4. If Benning starts to believe some of these projections then I think it is all the more important that we do whatever it takes to get #3. If there is a growing chance that Patrick could actually fall to 3, we need to have that pick.
  5. This might have already been said but wouldn't Subban compare to Makar? Small, fast and puts up big offensive numbers. The knock I have heard on Makar is his defense. I think he is being way over inflated.
  6. The second anyone dons that red jersey they will be subject for unfair criticism period. I thought Calgary was way over rated.
  7. Not that I want a response but where are all of the Tkatchuk lovers? He was a total no show for the Flames! 4 games and nothing on the score sheet. joulevi has just as many points in the NHL playoffs with 4 fewer games played! Woohoo
  8. I quoted the wrong requote...lol thoughts about Nylander remain the same
  9. And against Buffalo none the less! Unfortunately he won't be facing Buffalo in the playoffs...and the last Nucks game I saw Boeser and Goldy make a cross ice pinpoint passes. One for a Goal and one for a great save. Just saying that your attempt at knocking off the Canucks rose colour glasses is thwarted by not being able to see past you own. Maybe try a Toronto discussion board. Funny how in you first year of relevance TO fans become so emboldened. Don't care about TO players and never will.
  10. Well at least he is not laughing at his team anymore! I guess he has a short memory cause his team has sucked for a decade! Brock hasn't been as prolific but he has fought some injuries. UND is definitely weaker and it seems as though they have been trying Brock as a centre for parts of the year. I think Brock will be better then Eberle, Yakipov, N-H, etc
  11. Pretty sure Gaudette is a centre and he is projecting very high. We may have our 4 pivots moving forward. Horvat, Gaudette, Sutter and Chaput
  12. I remember when Sami would get a game star but you weren't exactly sure why. Did all of the little things right. Whenever Sami was out of the lineup it was noticeable. I think that is the impact OJ might have.
  13. He will rack up the 2nd assists one day! Boeser from Bo from OJ
  14. OJ is a slick man. Out there in every situation and just makes the simple play. Great position, great stick, beautiful first pass! He is going to be one of those players you just don't notice but for all of the right reasons!
  15. Just as likely MT flames out the same way as Bennett next year and is on the cusp of being scratched or sent down. Remember the playoffs against us? Bennett was being called the next Iginla! It is just as short sighted to crown a 19-20 year old a sure fire NHLer as it is a bust.
  16. Boeser goes 16-5 from the dot! Hybrid Center on our hands?
  17. Duclair, Bennett, Strome, where's the Ghostbear
  18. And to think that Nikita is just scratching the surface! Did he just decide, "I try hitting now!" He had like 8-10 good hits and didn't get out of position! He joins the rush at the right time and he shuts down the offence on his side of the ice. His upside is scary!!! He could be the steal of that entire draft!
  19. The Killer BBBs!!! They are going to be sick!
  20. Bean...sucked Sergachev...worse than OJ considering g his team Jost looked great at times
  21. We will have to wait on all of them. MT fit well with Cal no doubt but what is his ceiling? 40pts 50? He might have a JV of a sophomore year. PLD looked pretty ordinary at the WJ JP couldn't stick with the Oilers!!! OJ had a very ordinary WJ with no forward help.
  22. Two left wingers though...I think Baer is better. Nice to think that Calgary had to pick MT to fill a need on LW...#tradeya?
  23. Utica should be getting some talent next year!!!
  24. MT on our team and he would have half of his totals. It's not fair to say look what he's putting up in Calgary and think it translates to our team. He would have about 15 points at this point and maybe sent down
  25. I am not comparing him straight up with Jake but he has one more goal than Jake at this point in about 14 fewer games but plays on 2nd line and power play. Almost half of MTs points are on the pp. Just saying, he might be the best fit of the top 10 picks and his stats are benefitting
