  1. Guy is on pace for over 50 points, 27yrs old. Buy out booth or trade someone to keep him. He's literally the best thing to happen to this team since the cup run, you don't let that go because you want to play a rookie. I want Horvat in the lineup as much as the next guy but if it takes an extra year to get him there and we keep santo, I'm fine with that. Gaunce can be called up next year and everyone can get their rookie fix. Santo and Horvat > Horvat
  2. I fully agree. There's no point in trading our top prospects for a top six player this year. People think you can just trade for a guy and all your problems are solved. It won't change the fact that our boys can't put it all together consistently. Building a team IS a process and it doesn't happen over night. Sometimes you have to take a step back before you take 2 forward. Anyone watch the islanders in the past 20 years? They sure loved jumping the gun. It's not like gillis is turning down Booth, Weise and a 2nd for Giroux every day because he wants to see what they can do first. I'm sure he works the phone all the time but it's going to have to make us a better team, not just make a trade looking for a spark. I'd love to see a shake up as much as anyone but if gillis trades someone like elder for scraps cus the message board cry babies want something done now, I'd be pissed.
  3. Man some of these packages are ridiculous. I understand his potential but I wouldn't trade Kesler + or elder+ for him. Maybe a one for one deal but both those guys have proven more than one 30 goal season. He would be a nice addition but I wouldn't gut the team for him. Who's he gonna play with? Twins are doing just fine with Kesler and he can still centre the 2nd if santo stumbles. If we trade Kesler plus for him then we're worse off this year.
  4. Hahaha well said. Hey OP, read #3 and stop trying to get people riled up over BS. They foot the bill and there's more hockey on tv because of it. If the commentators bring you to tears every Saturday night, toughen up or turn the channel.
  5. Another gm had him ranked 4th. Other mocks had him in the top ten... Criticizing the pick before any player in the draft steps on nhl ice is retarded

    Brendan Gaunce | C/LW

    I like it. Get kesler scoring 100 points with the twins then trade him for a kings ransom before his next contract
  7. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that he started the year in a more defensive role and moved up.. Not really sure if that's true but it would explain his lower point totals.. I'd expect him to be around the top in league scoring next year if he can't crack the nucks. Could be pretty sweet, shinkaruk candidate to win whl scoring title and Horvat possibly ohl title.
  8. Would have been perfect if we drafted Horvat back in hodgsons draft and hodgson this year haha Bo would have made the perfect young 3rd line centre and coho would be coming it at the right time.
  9. Sweet Jesus I can't wait to see what this kids got.
  10. I think a full year of top line duty in junior would do him a lot of good. They're probably going to name the kid captain next year. He's going to have to beat everyone by a country mile to get the third center job. It's not out of the question but its going to have to be the clear cut best option for the Canucks to say your our guy after 9 games. Otherwise his best development will come from getting an opportunity to completely dominate the ohl as a vet.
  11. That would be so sick if they played on the same line. Could see Bo getting top shutdown duty though. I think his numbers are a little low because he started the year in a defensive role. I Imagine those numbers inflating with a full year on the top line.
  12. Just for fun, pull up the 2012 draft. Where do you think horvat and shinkaruk go if that was their draft class? I'd say Toronto takes Bo at 5 Maybe buffalo takes shinkaruk at 14
  13. Lol how do you not give it to him? He scored one of the most clutch goals in literally all of hockey history haha. .1 second left in game seven for the championship? Who does that haha? Sounds like a mighty ducks movie
  14. That's the beauty of it.. We got shinkaruk too who has over 100 goals in the whl. Watching the videos, hunter looks like the most pure skill we've drafted since bure. His hands are incredible Horvat was probably the best face off man in the draft too and was named ohl playoff MVP. Pierre said one team had him ranked 4th.
  15. Great coach, most success we've ever had but he wore out his welcome. No cup with a fan base that has never had one, sorry but we're moving on.
  16. This is a funny thread lol.. I'm not gonna go through the trouble of posting something to a photosite and then linking it in here but if you want you can creep my Instagram. @teehad Should be easy enough to figure out which one I am
