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 .

I think Jake remains on a pretty tight leash that is slowly being lengthened (Green has said as much numerous times). The "fighting" part is there if he needs it - but I don't sense he goes around looking for it. Trust me, having been in many rooms that hit on Keith last night was more effective than a fight. It really changed tone of the game if you were watching.
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.

He had six hits last game and has averaged more than 4 for about a month to pull into top 10 in entire NHL in forwards hits/60 (and tie for 30th overall period). He is even starting to get penalties for being strong (that phantom tripping penalty last game). He will find the balance. Snarl isn't his problem, getting a bit more offense to his game is the next step.
BTW to @-AJ- - what do you mean about "Virtanen could not keep up with the twins"? Do you mean in terms of drop passes or ??? as if you mean skating, were you making a joke or ???
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 like Bo but he is incredibly soft. We have been lead by a soft ( no pushback physically ) captain for the last X years and I would rather have Gudbranson captain at least he sticks up for a teammate. We need to change the culture in the room and with Horvat who is soft and doesn't stick up for teammates I don't think it is a good idea. & No I don't dislike Horvat he is a great player and a good leader just not the right leader to take over right after Henrik retires. Just my opinion. He would better be suited for Captain at 26-27
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 .

They have CAP issues in Philly and fitting in a high demand UFA versus a steady team friendly cost in Tanev may tip the scales.
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

Tanev alone is a lot more than "scraps" and how many players who are no longer going to be waiver eligible and are sitting out games are going to demand a king's ransom? Signing John Carlson versus acquiring a young Dman with ceiling to go with your emerging very young squad makes zero sense.
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.
-
Your not getting Sanheim for scraps unless its something the really need like Horvat and I would not do that. Draft is the key . More Picks. Sign John Carlson .
-
Your right more intensity , killer instinct is their just need to be brought to the surface.
-
If we don't draft in the top 4 I want Evan Bouchard. Period. Brassard looks good but could use some work on his skating.
-
Dahlén is the real deal. A line of Dahlen , Pettersson, and MacEwen would be a force.
-
Bring him in for 2 games at least, see what he brings cant be any worse then Vertanen we need more grit and skill he brings both.

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