  1. Sorry but dipietro is a no go for me. Would not trade that kid period. I want to see him develop. This could be the big game goalie like we have never seen.
  2. I would add How much if Boldy's points were Hughes? How much of Krebs points were due to piles and piles of times.
  3. I just cannot see Newhook making it to 10. Kyle Turris went 4th with a similar season in same league. And Newhook is smart skilled smooth and powerful. I would be thrilled with him at 10. Imagine having to move Gaudette and Newhook to the wings because we have petey, bo, madden down the middle?
  4. This really depends how good he thinks he is. If he thinks he is an NHL player and pushes the arbitration concept and gets any kind of award from it the Canucks do not walk away they run. If he knows he is an AHL players he gets a one way deal at NHL minimum or a two way close to that and plays for the Comets.
  5. I just think he is an often injured poor man's Motte. And Motte would not be on our team if we had decent quality depth. So how does a poor man's Motte make a team when we fill out the squad properly and have Petey Bo and the Flow at their peak?
  6. This is not a worry to me. I think this one will sign but I am not convinced he has what it takes to make it.
  7. Kole will get there. He needs to play his game. And his game is about speed and power. It just takes a little longer. Not unlike how Gads will and JV is taking a little longer. When Kole is fast and strong enough he will be the Kole Lind of the Rockets on the Comets.
  8. Bet his team is much happier with the trade they made to get him now.
  9. I personally like Harley and Newhook. Both ranked lower than 10. But Newhook is a tank and committed to developing in college. While Harley is both big and talented but is cursed to us by being another LHD.
  10. So is getting a chance to actually play.
  11. Remains to be seen. Maybe Rathbone signs if Fox does not. Who knows.
  12. Maybe he can continue to be that in your face player. Lots of guys seem to step more away from that as they find bigger competition in the higher leagues.
  13. Maybe. But really think more a Sven Baertchi style winger.
  14. But back to Jake for a minute. What was that fly by he did on Giordano right before the third goal? What do we need to do with this kid to make him want to hit and want the damn puck? I love Jake, the potential he brings, the speed, the skill. When he is on he is my favourite Canuck. But wholly crap.....I saw him approach Giordano wondered if he would follow through with the hit or stand him up and fight for the puck. I was so blown away by the flyby I had to watch the replay for the goal. What da......? Hit the guy!
  15. I think Schenn has been way more what Guddy was supposed to be here than Guddy ever was. And for way less. Not sure I want him in every game next year, but as experienced stability in the 7 th d role that would get about 60 games with our usual injuries. That I am good with.
  16. Funny time to sign Woo to me. With a low number of available contracts and a Lockwood decision still coming I would have thought they might hold off until the summer.
  17. At the same time. A bunch of 'meh' middle six forwards is an improvement on where we were.
  18. That will help his save percentage.
  19. I was going to point out this too. I think the line mates thing leads me to believe lockwook may translate to NHL better than Motte. Especially as I can see lockwood get pretty good NHL linemates in a couple years.
  20. Doesn't really matter who is in the lineup if not Juolevi (injured) and Gaudette (with big club) because Jasek is probably the top prospect on Utica then anyway. At least if you look at who makes the Canucks next as I expect Jasek to be with the big club next year and only other guys I expect to compete for a spot are Dahlen and Brisebois. The other guys are just further away.

    So you send him down to learn something. Be plays more physical, gets more pims. Still plays plus. Gets more points. Does what he is asked and shows he can do it. Green sends him back down despite that and you cry small sample size. What is he supposed to do to show he gets it? I say you have made up your mind and he could turn into EP and it would do no good.

    Yet he came up and scored three points in three games was plus 3 and went back down. How does your argument hold water?
  23. I am very sure you will see that next preseason.
  24. I would be very happy with a Jasek Gaudette Lind third line in two years. Hopefully with Jasek and Gaudette there sooner as Gaudette is ripe and Jasek is almost ripe. Lind will take a little time. But he will be a player.
  25. Brise just getting to play and show how he can start to fit in was awesome. Hopefully he gets a couple games and goes back to learn how to put what he learned into his game for the next time. Think this kid is a gamer and someone who can play the cool calm Tanev role in a couple years and be the rock for someone like what we hope Rathbone will be .
