Whats the rush you trying to sell tickets?

Clearly you are all looking threw your rose colored glasses , Pettersson needs more time to develop period Let him play another year in Sweden then bring him over. He needs to get stronger to play with the big boys rushing him will get him hurt . Give him time to develop more strength . One more year. Is needed.

I'll Quote you on that when it happens.

You don't have to be his agent to see what transpired , Jim should have traded him to Tampa and would have gotten a great return , instead he will end up trading his rights for a second or third if he's lucky. Poor management of a grade A asset .

Tryamkin well never be a canuck again that ship is sailed , Gudbranson doesn't scare anyone, If Cole is to be allowed to play feisty you need some protection.

Its easier to have a tough team mindset when you have Chara and McQuaid patrolling your blueline. This is something we don't have.

Okay, So most of you think Pettersson is ready I get that, I'm just looking at some star Players that stayed in the SEL till Draft + 1 or 2 before coming to the NHL and by the way the AHL is not far off the NHL only a little nastier .Peter Forsberg, Henrik Zetterberg both spent more time with the SEL to mature. No doubt Pettersson has the skill and heart Im just saying don't rush him. Shinny new toys have away loosing their luster once they get thrown in an old toy box. Management in the past have not demonstrated that they could and would protect their star players so like I said before we shall see.

Shure if they are ready we shall see wont we.

You have to do whats best for the players not for the fans

What I'm saying is one more year would help them both mature mentally and physically there is no rush, give them a few NHL games then send them back to mature like I said no rush.

Yah and I have been watching Winnipeg every player on that team have dropped the gloves. We will get killed by the Jets.

Really you expect these kids to compete at this level subject to the abuse the NHL and AHL give out ! One more year of maturing before your new shinny toys are come over would do wonders for their development. whats the rush?

Both Pettersson and Dahlen need another year in Sweden to mature after watching the playoffs so far it would be a mistake to have these kids in the NHL .

Yah I was watching Jake had good game so let me ask you this would you trade Jake strait up for Sanheim? And would Phili do it? Top 6 F, for a top 4 D

Fair enough we shall see hope your right.

Tell me this do expect Jake to be a top 6 or bottom 6 player ? on this team in two years.

Why is it then when you watch Jake play you are left with the feeling that there should have been more . Green feels the same way, its there he just needs to bring it more. If we had a bigger meaner line up you would see more snarl from Jake, he would be more aggressive. These kids need protection right from Bo and Brock to Stecher . Our leadership doesn't bring this look at Pouliot dropped his gloves to come to a fellow team mates defense, when is the last time the Sedins dropped there gloves to come to someone's aid. I don't expect Jake to be a fighter, just a little chipy and feisty . Like I said before it will come but he needs time and a little help. Take Winnipeg , Ehlers drops the gloves and will fight because the leader ship plays with snarl.

I agree to a point BO is soft because our leadership is soft period, learn by example we get some snarl backing him and you will see the change . The mentality of the room has to change and that starts with the Sedins gone. They may be good upstanding citizens but when in the trenches you need to bring something special. Bo has that in him.

Yes he has some Snarl I agree but I don't think he will have the snarl that Gadjovich brings but hey time will tell. Gadjovich MacEwen and Virtanen would give us the Snarl we need.

Kane is not coming to the Canucks period . You don't want him in your room Bo needs to be the leader coming up . No to Kane

Yes I like Gadjovic as well but his skating needs improvement , maybe Gadjovic , Pettersson , MacEwen Line big with lots of snarl.

Pettersson will need a big mean forward / center on his line that can take the hard minutes and give him some room MacEwen fits this, fast good hands and has some snarl .

Jake needs to bring some snarl to his game but that comes with age .

I would love Sanheim, so would Tanev fit their cap and if so even more reason to sign John Carlson, Sanheim is a lefty so who are you moving on the left side or are you cleaning house

I agree Tanev has worth but would you if you were Phili trade Sanheim for Tanev ? Signing Carlson would give the blue line stability. That is what it needs.
