  1. Sigh.. poor defending... Missing Edler and Tanev. /Canada - New Nazi Germany #susiekeys
  2. Minnesota getting Rossi at 9. Winnipeg getting Perfetti at 10. Must be seen as the winners. Askarov is just what the Nashville organisation needs. Same can be said about Holloway in Edmonton. And I like the Capitals pick of Lapierre at 22. If he can stay healthy he's the biggest steal. Also as mentioned, good job by Calgary obtaining two 3rd round picks and Connor Zary with their original 19th pick.
  3. Vegas 1+ skills overall come: Forwards Defensers Goalkeepers But still, wheres the &^@#ing playoff-grit and agression?!?!? Team looked satisfied with reaching round 2. Bullocks!!!
  4. Wtf!!! But damn, that guy on this forum who said the center dept in the Nucks is waaay better than Vegas... Compared Karlsson with Virtanen. Kinda wish Vegas would win it just because of that. Stupid fans make stupid expentations. Go nucks! (Stupids not inclueded)
  5. Wtf.. Canada are playing like the Italian soccer team. Diving at any chance. There's no place for that in hockey. Go Russia and go Podkolzin!
  6. Bro-berg is a beast. He could climb into top 5 after winning the gold for Sweden in the world u-18's today. Voted best d-man in the tournament. So mature, mobile and skilled. Could play NHL minutes next season. Also very impressed by the american trio Cam York, Trevor Zegras and Cole Caufield's display during the tournament. On the other hand... Podkolzin could well drop down into Canucks picking territory. Jeez that kid is lazy, and fragile.. selfish.. 1 goal in the tournament playing top line and first pp.. would rather draft Brendan Gaunce all over again. Go for Bro Benning!
  7. For Dubas to sign up his 4th (perhaps even 7th) best forward over 6 years for 6.925 m is simply mad. 7 goals in 54 regular games this season, almost 1 millon/goal :). Come 2021, if Pettersson continues to improve and maybe puts on a few pounds. I see him as our best and most productive forward together with Brock. But still alot of potential ufa:s for Benning to sign untill 2021 so maybe hard to predict.
  8. One of swedens biggest newspapers hinted yesterday that Elias Pettersson might be leaving after his rookie contract is expiring. They compared his upcomming contract situation with William Nylanders this year. https://www.expressen.se/sport/hockey/nhl/skracken-att-elias-pettersson-lamnar/ Is there any truth behind it? Don't we have enough cap space to be able to tie up Quinn Hughes And Pettersson long-term? Are swedish newspapers perhaps the worse kind of gossip $&!#papers in the world that is only good to use to wipe your ass with?
  9. Marcus Johansson got speed buddy.
  10. Matthew Boldy for sure, two way forward with Selke Trophy potential. Would be a perfect pick for the otherwise more offensivly talent in the roster. Or... Philip Broberg, mobile big strong two way defender. Only downside is his left handiness perhaps. Or... Victor Söderströn, smooth skater and right handed defender and like Broberg already got senior hockey experience. Or wild card(!)... Brett Leason, big late blooming center who's expected to go late in round one. Dominant in Canada -20 team, born 99, but would pretty much get right into our roster. Surprised to see so many of you thinking Zegras will be availible at nr 10. He's ranked 7th but may even get picked higher than that. (This years Jesperi Cuntaniemi )
  11. Dahlen would be much better off reaching his potential in SHL. Playing in a higher tempo with more skilled players. Even if it may be vital to adapt to the small rink, especially defensivly, I don't see how he can develop his game in a dump-and-chase-thug-league like AHL. And if the Canucks isnt gonna invest in him or give him a chance, trade him! Canucks will still get more from it than Burrows that we offloaded to get his rights.
  12. Yeah of course, Loui prefers the RW role but still competent as a LW, as Goldy, who's a lefty, still can opererate as an RW. Ritchie on the other hand is more off an all out LW. Got ahead of myself sorry. True, but i'm maybe more impressed with his defensive contribution, feels like his creativity and movement has vanished, and hey, EP would probably make most linemates pickup a second assist or two every now and then. That may be true, 10th pick overall back in 2014 but a dissapointing season last year with alot of unessasary minor penalties and only a PPG at 0.31 during his Duck career (Loui 0.41 in Canucks). Still, after watching the Matheson hit again and the lack of response from fellow Canuck players, I'd love to have a line-mate to EP who stands up for him, and Ritchie would be a great fit and a cheap trade with potential.
  13. Followed Louie closely since we've played for the same junior hockey side, Lerum, just outside Gothenburg only one year apart. Watched him emerge as a quick sniper in Dallas and his successful seasons with the Bruins. But it's safe to say that he's only a shadow of his former self in the Canucks. More of a pk-player than goal-getter. Great guy and wish him all the best, but from a Canuck point of view, I think we would be much better of with the phycical pressense of Ritchie. Btw the school-reference doesn't work. To cool (and old) for school and not living in the same time zone. And I don't want any childish internet brawl. This forum is abOOOtt the Canucks, and this parts dreamy trades, not abOOOtt insulting ppl..
  14. Ritchie would be a great addition and a Ritchie- Petey-Goldy line would be a big step up from having an invinsible Eriksson on the left wing. Nice call! Fingers crossed!
