  1. can we use Ferland next time we play Panthers? ...i still think matheson needs to be taught a lesson.
  2. Hes not a vet either. My point is hes not a 10 mill per year player long term deal yet but not far from it. Most likely he will reach that level but hes not there yet and thats why i called him a prospect, as in prospect to become a player of that level and value.
  3. Where does Brock go during his summer holidays anyway?
  4. long term deals is hard to make it happen on both ends. Brock is brilliant prospect but still has some ways to go to be in the 9-10 million range. we will see how things turn out but hes a first line player and should be Peteys partner for many years to come.
  5. Glad to see him resigned. I still prefer Leivo over Pearson. Miller-petey-Boeser, Baertschi-Horvat-Leivo/Goldobin/Virtanen works in my book.
  6. Leivo and Pearsson are same age. Imo Leivo is somewhat better skater and works harder in the Dzone and without the puck. Id still pick Leivo over pearson but thats only due to those reasons.
  7. Leivo-petey-brock was really good last year. im hoping miller will fill the role of the grinder and powerforward on that line instead of leivo, but leivo is always there and i think he could be a top 6 based on what i saw last season.
  8. Yup miller can bring something to the table. Energy and skill in one.
  9. around 7 for 6 or so? sounds fair imo...
  10. calder tropy is his...now its just a matter of time untill the Art Ross or the Maurice richard is his also. Hes definetly got the potential for it.
  11. glad to see Edler stay for 2 more seasons. Hes still the best we got and hopefully hughes and others will develop into more solid D. 2 years is a long itme so team will change a bit of course. but with hughes and stecher Edler and a healthy (!) Tanev its not that bad.
  12. Id say this is nothing more then a mental fatigue. Sharpness goes and the confidence gets lost. Next season he will be more prepared but also depends on how hard he will train for the season and how well he recovers during the summerbreak. The mental game is important for someone thats supposed to be racking up the points. Petey has been ok but no points has made it to the board so it just makes the struggle harder. how much he improves physically will definetly have an impact for the next season and hopefully he will mentaly be more prepared during these last stretches of the season, since he will have this years experience with him.
  13. hehe id say its both mentally and a physical drainage that u cant tell its there since it just slowly wears u down. It takes it toll on confidence and sharpness and we wont se any explosive things for the remainder of the season. it will be more an occasional assist here and there. It will take some time to "recharge" the batteries and for now its just a long road untill the end of the season.
  14. U guys are just Leetching on those who doubt....Brian said so...
  15. The kid exceeds my expectations. His skating and jumping on the rush is phenomenal. I knew his passing would be good but very uncertain on how he would measure up against NHL competition. He still needs to improve in the Dzon though, but this kid feels like EP40 on D. Tons of potential.
  16. its not so strange. we have been spoilt with all kinds of magic so far and i think hes feeling the long season wearing. i dont think we will see much noise from him other then an occasional assist if the whole team plays great. next season is a whole different story. I think tonight everyone will keep their eyes as hughes makes his debut tonight anyway.
  17. The more i watch Edler the more important he gets. Hes a lvl higher then the other D right now.
  18. well its a bad contract but hes still a very versatile player that can be used in any given situation. And seems to me hes doing great on the 1st line with pearson and horvat.
  19. and no one reacts when loui gets 4 points in a game? nice game by him imo. Thats what id like to see more of. great game against the sens. The entire line with bo and pearrson did real good.
  20. Impressive how he has evolved to the most complete player on the team though. Captain Bo.
  21. u still have Baertschi and Eriksson. one or 2 of those will most likely go.
  22. Leivo is pretty much same as pearson. I prefer Leivos skating ability over pearson though. Leivo and spooner is my preferance. If i may guess whats going to happen next year im guessing Goldobin and pearson will go. That being despite goldys improvement during the year, he will find it hard to be a top 6 player with everyone healthy and goldy is definetly nothing else then a top 6 creative player.
  23. beagle, motte, jake, macewen if he gets back in the lineup. u cant do much with injuries. not many games left of the season either. Do u need that much when there no reason to play games since ur cutoff from the playoffs?
  24. https://www.nhl.com/news/vancouver-canucks-elias-pettersson-converts-forsberg-goal-in-shootout/c-305839504 that was one sweet penalty shot...
  25. Isnt it obvious Tanev will play with hughes? Question is if Stecher and Edler should be together since Hutton and stecher did pretty good together earlier in the season. If this is what we got he should play with stecher on right untill tanev arrives.
