  1. Zack plays great. Zack doesn't play great. He is up and learning what the guys do at this level and getting comfortable. That is what matters this time up.
  2. Or Canucks fans into Northeastern fans.
  3. Joulevi Hughes Dahlen and Jasek. But maybe McEwen. And I still think Jasek is closer than Dahlen. But Jasek doesn't develop as high as Dahlen. And I wasn't counting Demko so maybe 5.
  4. I really see Juolevi with Petey and Hughes with Horvat. I think Hughes just gets Petey the puck less while I see Horvat and Hughes sharing the puck and making space for each others skills. Juolevi is the cerebral positional euro style defenceman Edler wishes he was imho.
  5. Madden does need a year or two more of college to mature imho. I would like to see Lockwood in Utica next year and Rathbone and Dipietro. Really hope we see 4 rookies on the Canucks next year and Gaudette. But I do not see how JB cleans house that well in the off season.

    Brendan Gaunce | C/LW

    I really don't get how Gaunce has not earned a shot this year. Having his best offensive stats in both leagues. Never been a PPG player as a pro before (he is in NHL and close as he has been in AHL. He is also a plus in both leagues. And more than a PIM per game for the first time as a pro. If that is not more offensive punch and more aggression and at least covering a large portion of the knocks against him I don't know what else he could be doing and still be Brendan Gaunce.
  7. And I don't think Boeser is the best possible match for Petey. He doesn't really create space for Petey and uses space Petey creates. Maybe Dahlen will make more space and it won't matter. But Virtanen draws coverage with his play and pushes guys off with his speed. Plus he has killer zone entries. Petey in space behind someone like Virtanen would be amazing. Or Petey and Dahlen on Horvats wings if we get another killer center to play with Virtanen and Boeser like maybe Jack Hughes. As Horvat would create space for Petey.
  8. Really starting to think that between this deadline and next deadline we could move out Sutter Roussel and Beagle and slot in Gaunce Macewan and Gaudette. That would certainly be younger and really looking like more upside. Not been a fan of MacEwan but has size and is amassing a nice body of work. Needs to keep getting stronger and faster, not bulk up. Work on his stick skills this summer like Jake did last summer He is not far off being a solid bottom 6 scorer.
  9. I would say the C is actually his to lose
  10. Looks like tonight puts EP past Nolan Patrick for second place in his draft year. I guess it will take about a year to catch Nico.
  11. I don't think your list matches your comment. At least one is a Canuck next year. Dahlen or Jasek or both. Honestly Jasek would outplay several bottom 6 Canucks this year. Dahlens challenge is he is a top 6 forward and not quite quick or strong enough
  12. I am hoping for like a 9-2 win. That should be good enough for Mikey to win out and Canada still does just fine.
  13. Yeah, can't ask for more than the shutout and an assist from your goalie. Not a lot of work and few quality chances beyond the penalty shot. But he did everything he could do in his start.

    Brendan Gaunce | C/LW

    And it seems we have Gaunce in Utica because whoops, we signed Schaller.
  15. I think it interesting that he is listed on the right side. Hmmm.
  16. I thought the point would be Madden 3C and wise not there at all. Hughes first pair (and listed at Right side!!!!!) while Wahlstrom is 13th forward. Isn't that the two we picked and the two we passed over?
  17. Thing is though that Tanev's own offensive ceiling is higher. He just doesn't step up often enough not he isn't good enough.
  18. I think Jasek as a 'C' prospect is a great thing. I recall Hansen (who really seems to be Jasek most comparable) as our 'A' prospect we added for a playoff run one season. Lol. The cupboards are full and we had to build a pantry.
  19. Hey now....when we got Greg Adams he wasn't even as good as Greg Adams though.
  20. Jasek is quite the versatile players. Checks, hits, skates, playmakes and scores from any forward position. Green is gonna like this kid in a year or three. We will see how close to PPG he can creep in the AHL. Maybe next year see how he meshes with a kid named Lockwood.
  21. You want him to play for us or for Sweden? Cause he ain't going to summer training until after the world championships.
  22. I was thinking he stay in Utica all year and pave the way for EP to join Utica for the playoffs.
  23. Wow. When did the Lind thread replace the Virtanen thread?
  24. Personally think we should ink this kid as soon as we can. Get him developing in our system etc. Would be cool to have Hughes in the NHL next year and Jack mirroring the systems down in Utica
