  1. So what's with the needs surgery on both his hips situation? That doesn't sound good.
  2. Absolutely a better way to go I think, unless Miller is happy with about $5 m/year over 2 or 3 years. It seems like he likes the idea of Vancouver though.
  3. So we could have picked him up for nothing and we still didn't want him on that contract?
  4. Yeah, I had my doubts about Ritchie so I'm glad we got the guy that can score, is huge, fast, fuelled, has a great shot, and is tough. Regardless like you we really don't know how these guys will turn out. Reading reports and watching Utube videos and then calling out one pick over another is beyond stupid and egotistical. The thing a lot of these guys don't get is that they say we draft two way and not for skill. That's not exactly it, a player is either good and able to excel and offer something at the NHL level or they aren't. Rodin was a skilll guy, Shirokov was a skill guy. Great if you get Selanne as a skill guy from a pick but if you get Shanahan, Roenick, Linden. That ain't bad either. Since we're not there the best we can do is sit back and watch now. These guys may be years away anyway but there is a total chance that Nylander and Ehlers could bust, same with Virtanen. However, I like our chances. Personally I think out of those three Nylander has the most chance to bust because he is over confident. Ehlers actually looks very grounded and I think he will score 30 goals a year for awhile. I think Virtanen will too though so we'll see which one of these guys ends up the best.
  5. I can never tell with his stupid articles. Jeepers he's an idiot.
  6. Didn't Benning say that Nylander and Ehlers didn't even make it into the conversation?
  7. Nice, that pick looks solid. Over 16 minutes a game and moves good at that size, likes to play the body and has a cannon shot!
  8. We actually took Demko? Ahhh lameeeeeeeeeeeeee why did I wake up.
  9. Should we trade Shinkaruk and Virtanen for Reinhart?
  10. Anyone that hasn't watched this guy at least 5 times live this year is full of it. That's 98% of the people here. They picked the guy immediately after major surgery that should tell you something.
  11. That's good I didn't get to hear it. Regardless lot's of players don't get selected to the teams they want. It's funny what moving to a big city and making millions of dollars can do to change your mind in that matter.
  12. Exactly you only get so many stars, if half those guys develop into Ryan Kesler like guys we're lucky. Pretty important postion and by far the highest ranked player left. I wasn't hyped on him and wanted the leader from Moncton but then again I'm not there.
  13. Bleakly, he might be a steal for sure. Seems to be quality.
  14. I think so but there's lots of good players left. Some good leadership and skill there.
  15. Let's go Flyers ... lol Kapanen played for Flyers too didn't he? Yes he did.
  16. Well why don't you pretend for a while that you not a scout, a coach, a GM, or patient?
