  1. I think I know how we can fix our 6 million dollar man.
  2. Lumme, Salo, Juolevi - the Nucks always get it right with Finnish D.
  3. Jake is a long ways a way from staying with the big team. It is better to understand his needed time down there not in how many games but seasons.
  4. jake is gone and won't be back for a while.
  5. So that is why his skating is slow.
  6. Among are big D's Trym, Sib, Edler, Gud is the no 4 guy.
  7. you are guilty in the latter parts of your post of what you accuse a previous poster of in the first paragraph of your post - cliches - did you not notice this? You seem to think you know what is going to happen with these players which of course you do not know - nobody does. Yes, you are correct in stating that the odds are against Jake, but that applies to all first round picks. Statistically, the chances of any first rounder making a career as a top six are not very good. In other words you are stating a fact that applies not just to Jake but all first rounders including OJ. In simpler language there are statistically more first round busts than top six or four successes. If you have such insight at picking the sure things than you really should be in the business rather than posting on here.
  8. On a team that has very few bright spots, he has been overhyped - not his fault. He may turn into a consistent top 4 guy but right now he is far from it. For the third goal guys were standing around and it just happened that his man scored. Hutton should be competing against guysguys like Pedan and Subban instead of getting a free pass. I would think Jake and Sven would agree.
  9. he seems excited down there and playing with some intensity. You look at him the past few games at Utica and he is showing some game that we didn't see up in the show Just leave him down there Benning!
  10. Sven has disappeared again and someone find him?
  11. Jake is starting to look noticeable as other posters noted keep him down for the year and give him big minutes all situations and teach the kid to play the pro game.
  12. Is Pedan better and cheaper. He is defo faster and better shot.
  13. Gud's play is troubling. Guys burn right by him. And he cannot seem to even get pucks to the net at all. His speed is a massive problem.
  14. we are not contenders, but this is what the real fans wanted to see and that is some youth and future in the line up. It is very enjoyable to watch guys like Trymakin and Stech in the line up because they have unique styles of play for obvious reasons. The biggest difference I see with Nikita out there is that he seems to feel like he is one of the guys out there - a lot more comfortable and confident. The ceiling with him seems to be a lot higher than what we are seeing at this stage, but to get to a Chara level you gotta wanna it.
  15. Jake is now officially a longterm project. Maybe 2-3 years down the road we might see a better player. He was rushed.
  16. you are making things up now - Sven in a shutdown role. Read gameburn 2 post that sorts out the difference between Bo and Sven.
  17. Lucia plays with McDavid are they the same type of player with the same expectations?
  18. Bo is three years younger. As well their use has been different. Bo wasn't expected to score and not given opportunities to do so - know your history. His goal scoring has been a surprise for the management. The expectations for Sven are different, top 6 and points. You are comparing an apple with an orange.
  19. All the forwards who are supposed to put up points are except Sven. The snakebit idea works for about 10 games max but we are now a quarter of the way through the season and he has done very little. It is now starting to look like he as taken a step back. If Rodin was healthy you have to wonder if Sven would even be in the lineup Sven was good last year because he started to play a dirty goal game but this year that has disappeared.
  20. Sven was a first rounder. And projected to be that so the second rounder point is mute. 'gain traction on reality', just doesn't work. I am talking about the phrase.
  21. A ton skill that isn't translating. 24 isn't quite as young as it used to be. Look at all the 19-22 years olds getting it done - see Horvat. Sven isn't going to be an a top line player,
  22. He is starting to look like borderline NHL talent.
  23. No i think issue is that some players get more free passes. The point with Hutton was that he was in despite being brutal while Nikita and Stetch were out.
