  1. Throw Boeser and horvat in the mix and things are lookin pretty good.
  2. 20 pounds heavier and the summer isnt even over yet! Very good sign.
  3. Leon Draisaitl Mikael Backlund
  4. Guess what? Virtanen is not done developing yet.
  5. Lol. I know right? I remember the same reaction for Boeser. After the following season , he was dubbed the best nhl prospect not playing in the NHL. Lol
  6. He is able to wow you with his ability to score high-lite reel goals and his skating is excellent. His puck skills are fantastic and he has a high hockey IQ. He makes use of his great hockey sense in many facets of the game and it shows up with his creativity and the way he makes great passes out of nowhere. We love that he can both score and pass the puck to help create plays. He’s one of the best thinkers in the draft class and when you combine that with his skill it creates a very desirable package. Ya, why would anyone want that right?
  7. Did they just show a highlight of him getting scored on ? Hahaha.
  8. Well ya , obviously. I'm saying its surprising. He could fall out of the top ten. That s surprising.
  9. Wow Vilardi is dropping like crazy. Must be something the teams all know that the public doesnt.
  10. Bennett had a good rookie year , but last season wasn't so hot. 26 points and a minus 16. Just sayin
  11. He hasnt had time to learn how. One tournament doesnt mean he is incapable. It takes more then a hand full of games to adjust.
  12. I can do 11. Most people can bang off at least 7-8 palms outward in decent shape. Not being able to do one , and failing at bench is not a great sign. Its unbelievable for a pro athlete actually. Might still be a good player , but teams will look at this no matter what they say to the press. There are others that couldnt do one pull up either that turned out just fine , but for me its pretty shocking, and kind of funny.
  13. In other news , Casey Mittelstadt had a horrible day. That's gota be embarrassing. https://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/top-5-draft-prospect-fails-combine-miserably
  14. Ya he is exactly what Benning described as their target. A playmaking centre ( that also plays wing) that can run a powerplay. Sounds like Benning was literally reading this guys draft report when he said that. Lol.
  15. Hey guys. Looks like Benning may go somewhat off the board again this year with Elias Petterson. Very interesting. Could be a very good pick. Article : When the Vancouver Canucks fell from the 2nd position all the down the the 5th position as a result of the NHL’s Draft Lottery, the collective sigh from the team’s fanbase could be felt across the province of British Columbia. However, over a month later and the team seems content with their position. “We feel at 5 we’re going to still get a good player. Whether it’s a forward of a defenseman, we’re getting a skilled player,” said general manager Jim Benning when discussing the draft with TSN insider Pierre LeBrun. A rumor circulating today however indicates that Benning may not have been with as forthcoming with LeBrun as it appeared. It appears like the team is zeroing in on the two forwards as options for the 5th overall selection. Both players are lauded and accomplished offensive talents and put up big numbers in 2016-17. In Glass’ case he produced 32 goals and 94 points in just 69 games with the WHL’s Portland Winterhawks this season, while Petterson produced 19 goals and 40 points in 43 games for Timra, alongside Canucks prospect Jonathan Dahlen. https://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/report-canucks-inviting-top-prospects-to-vancouver-for-exclusive-interviews Pettersson draft profile :
  16. Indeed. The more he plays the better.
  17. OJ might not even know his ceiling until he is tested. Im stoked on him for sure.
