This quote from Bo (the Province sports{) is why AG and EP are going to be on the team next year...they both have the same drive that Bo has....
This quote is also for all you guys saying Bo will never be a #1 center:
“It drives me crazy, absolutely,” he said. “Anytime someone doubts you, you want to dig deeper and push harder and prove them wrong.
“It’s what I’ve been doing my whole career.
“Not everyone thinks I can be a first-line centre. And before it was those who weren’t sure I could be a second-line centre.
“My goal is to prove those people wrong.”
I think Bo can only 20g scorer and very doubtful he'll be a 30g scorer
That should help increase the number of goals we score next season

That's the only reason I responded. I, like others, come in here to find info on and discuss Juolevi, only to find page after page of someone posting the same thing over and over. His last response only validated that he's trolling; it's their usual "What's wrong, can't handle it? Muh free speech!" schtick. Unfortunately, as we saw in Jake's thread which ballooned to over 1000 pages, most of which were this same tripe, the admins rarely do anything about it.
Ah, you wish for more government/authority control? And this is because you're annoyed or irritated.
Unfortunately it wont die out until its provin or disproven which should happen naturally

you also caught those dirty rabbit punches when the refs were seperating them too huh?
Geez man the ref let's Hoe'rn get some rabbit punches in before stepping in

Utter xit is all I say.
Now I freakin know why they chose that dirty Hoern, so they could give him the win and make him generate a lot of money in his next fights.
Utter xit, Hoe'rns has a face stunged beyond unrecognizable, and somehow he wins Wadapak!!

What happened with Mittlestadt. That guy was supposed to be one of the most skillfull forward on this draft

I think that's Vilardi you're talking about. Hischier considers himself more of a two-way forward. I'm assuming we pick top 4, Glass wouldn't be in our territory.
Mittlestadt, IMO, is the most offensively gifted player in the top 10. 6'1 201bs. He actually weighs more than Nolan Patrick. Not much difference between the two in terms of size. Good in all areas. If Mittlestadt played a full year in the USHL, he would have for sure been in the 1st overall contention.

Benning is also very high on Mittlestadt, rightfully so. Also been compared to Tyler Seguin by scouts. I really hope we come out with either him or Hischier.
thats my pick at 3rd overall, mittelstadt the's guy has everything, he got size, speed and most importantly skill. We can always get size through trade and later picks

Right now it's hard to disagree. Tkatchuk is performing in the NHL, while Olli is still in Junior. I FIRMLY BELIEVE that Olli will be not only a more valuable player than Tkatchuk, but he will mature into an elite - minute munching - number one. Tkatchuk is what he is right now. Olli will become in four or five years the elite number one stud we've never had. Which would you rather have?
How come lumme or lock is not calling you out and whining about your assumptions that OJ will become an "elite number one stud," and more valuable player of than tkathuk despite OJ not even finishing a single NHL game.
oh thats right you're telling them what they want to hear

Yes, physical players are relatively easy to come by. As are skilled players who are too small. But if you can get a player who has skill, size, and physicality all in the same package, he has infinitely more value than the one dimensional players who are only useful in a skill role or a physical role. That's why it's worth taking a shot at drafting one high and hoping he works out.
Remember the Avalanche glory days? That team was built from trading Lindros for a half dozen players ranging from good to elite, plus 2 first round picks. Why? Because he had the great skills along with huge size and a mean streak. With a player like that it feels like having a power play whenever he's on the ice.
I don't disagree that size + skill is more valuable than someone who only has skills. Like what you've said everyone would surely want to have a player with skill and size.
Now a days however, I value skill more than size. Skillfull players tend to be great skaters, and keep possession as much as possible, which means less defending, and the fact that they know how to score, which is the only stat that matters.

That and the fact that there are some pretty big bodies in the Pacific division who have been bullying the Canucks for years.
I can understand that. But we can easily sign players who are physical or pick them in the later rounds, rather than drafting them high or taking the safe pick/ bigger player.

A shot difference that large leads me to believe that Erie will be to much for London to handle. That DeBrincat is some kind of skilled.. 13 points in his first 4 playoff games. 65 goals in 63 games during the regular season. 5'7 175
Canucks have developed a phobia for highly skilled shorties.

I think it's Vilardi's speed and mediocre stats don't have me believing he could become a 1rst line player. I do like Mittelstadt and wouldn't be upset with him around 5th pick but every guy you mentioned I like more then Valardi! Knowing how drafts never go the way I want we'll probably pass on all these guys for Valardi.
same feeling man

Vilardi seems to be that one player we have every draft that people obsess over because of his size.
61 points in 49 games in the high-scoring OHL is pretty mediocre for a top 5 pick.
He may have soft hands but so did Kyle Wellwood.
That's probably who JB is picking this next draft

can we pick a pure skill player

If JB drafted Rasmussen, that would spell the end of my time as a Canuck fan. I'm tired of sacrificing skill for size.

Goldobin scores a Bure-type goal and gets benched. But when Linden Vey couldn't score and always got pushed off the puck, did he get benched?? Noooooo.
Alright so even if you are just new to the team, and is primarily offensive minded 21 yrs old, you can now play PK, as long as you score a Bure-type type goal? OK.
He was no different from any of our bottom 6 players until that goal

Played great and looked fantastic to everyone except the idiot behind the Canucks bench who benched him for scoring.
Forget that we had penalized for most of 3rd period. Plus the idiot behind the bench have probably benched goldy so that an idiot in CDC would have something to cry about.

If teams are doing their jobs, then this should not the be the case. There may be some similar players, but each will have different attributes/skills/potential. Although, this may be where teams may decide to lean slightly more toward a team need over BPA if some players are only slightly better come draft day.
sometimes I don't trust in BPA, if this becomes the case, where rankings become interchangeable, we should draft according to character/determination/discipline.
I hope JB has an actual method to measure these things

I said MT would have been ruined by our coaching staff, but thanks for coming out
I don't think MT is lazy, Virtanen is only suffering because of fitness, if he'd work hard like the grinders we have or bo horvat when he was 19, he would still be with the nucks. MT is different, he's more like Burrows, he does everything do he could stay

The thing that pisses me off most about this thread is the fact that any positivity is stifled with the same old arguments. Robble robble Ehlers, robble robble hockey IQ, robble robble over weight.
The fact of the matter is, if Jake progresses into the player that he had the potential to be, we will all be laughing. That is not how the world goes sometimes. Benning took a shot on a hometown kid with the physical tool set to change the face of a team. Looking back, yeah, we should have taken Ehlers or Nylander. But that does not affect us anymore, we do not have Ehlers, we have Jake. We should be cheering on the hometown kid and celebrating the fact that HE HAS progressed over the course of the year. It may not be offensively yet, but his game is getting better. At this point, all we can do is continue to hope the kid becomes the player that he still has the potential to become.
If any posters float around here claiming to be realists and getting their panties in a bunch over a negative rep, they need to give their head a shake. Unnecessary negativity deserves bad reputation. I for one, will wear my Virtanen hat proudly and root for the kid until the day he makes it or breaks it. What else can we do?
We read posts from people who actually watch the Comets and ask their insight about Virtanen. Sometimes what they say about Virtanen isn't always what you feelers want to hear, and it has to be sugar coated or else you'll go out whining saying " it's too much"
