  1. Kassian scores a nice goal last night, meanwhile we have an aging Prust who I can probably skate faster than.

      Such a foolish trade..

      Don't know about that. Kassian will find those bars and clubs in Montreal much to his liking.

      To be fair, I don't think either team is going to get what they want out of this trade.

  2. Yeah, I think I saw more creativity with the puck from him in one game then I have with Edler or Hamuis all last season.
  3. He'd be our best d-man with the puck if he made the team and probably our best pp qb. He has top pairing potential imo. Don't think he'll ever be a #1, but a #2 I could see in his prime.
  4. Virt can play either wing. He played lw mostly when he scored all those goals in his draft year, but is more comfortable on rw apparently. If we want offense from him, then I hope he plays left wing. Way better shooting angle and that's his bread and butter.
  5. Anyone order off NHL.com before? Thinking about getting a hoody or 2 but not sure what size to get. I'm 5'8. M or L?

      Mens, I don't know, I usually wear L or M that's why I can't decide haha.

      If it's a jersey hoodie I'd play it on the safe side and order it on the bigger end.

      It might be baggier than you like, but it should look fine since it's jersey style.

  6. I guess the people who were saying his upper body is small and he needs to get bigger are wrong. He's huge, made Prust look tiny. Virtanen and Bo are going to be monsters when they're fully filled out and gain their man strength.
  7. Yeah Gaunce could probably make the team now, but Kenins was on the team for a while last year and looked really good until he hurt his knee. Virtanen is ready imo and would need to back to jr, so I have no idea how Gaunce fits in, even if he is ready. I think Hansen would for sure. He's 5 years younger and better right now. Burr has been declining and has a big contract.
  8. Yeah on the 4th line. I expect Virtanen and Kenins to be on the team the most out of those players though. Something like Virtanen-Horvat-Hansen Prust-Vey-Dorsett Kenins Or Kenins-Prust-Dorsett Vey Still leaves Gaunce, Grenier, Jensen (If he put in work this off season) off the team. We have too many forwards. Hopefully Vrbata and one of Hansen/Burrows are traded at the deadline.
  9. Higgins needs to be moved. Virtanen, Gaunce, Kenins, Grenier and even Shinkaruk are ready for some time with the big club imo. Kenins, Gaunce, Virtanen probably full time.
  10. Nurse dummied Andersson.

  11. I think he's going to be one of our top prospects by the end of the season. Once he matures and puts on some size, look out.
  12. Yeah that too, but I doubt WD would try this. Unless it was late in the season.
  13. I haven't seen that backhand in a while, he needs to start using it more. I think once he gets some good linemates with the Canucks he'll start looking like he did in his draft year. The surgery and recovery probably affected his shot and he's lost a bit of confidence in it since. Once he scores a few it will come back. His game just seems made for the NHL. A Virtanen-Horvat-Hansen line would be unreal.
  14. Because I don't know any men who look like they're ten years old.... It's obvious he has a lot of maturing to do, there's no way he stays that small for the rest of his life... Some guys mature at age 16, some not till 23, he looks like a late bloomer. By the time he's fully filled out, I'm sure he would have added atleast 15-25 pounds. Whether he gets taller or not doesn't really matter.
  15. He still looks like he needs to go through puberty haha. I think he'll likely grow another inch and add about 20 pounds by the time he's in the NHL.
  16. The best part is how well he's doing with how small he is. Once he fills out in the next couple years, he could be the steal of the draft.
  17. Umm what? Jake will be in the NHL this year, you can quote me on it.
  18. Have you watched him at all? He regularly gets overpowered by kids his age, never mind full grown men. Even in one of the Canucks camp he got manhandled a few times.
  19. He is being realistic... when's the last time there was an elite defenseman who was 5'9? Subban is going to have a hard enough time as it is defending players in the AHL.
  20. Yeah if all goes well he could become a top 10 center in the league. He's a special player, I think top 5 is pushing it a little, especially with McDavid, Eichel etc just coming into the league.
  21. Just cause it's a Canucks forum doesn't mean you need to overrate players that much.. Even if he reaches Bergeron's level, Bergeron isn't even a top 5 center in the NHL.
  22. I think he might be trolling. He said Boeser is going to be the best American player from the draft that includes Eichel..... and then there's still Hanifin and Werenski...
  23. Just my opinion but I think Stamkos is overrated. Great goal scorer but not that great at anything else.

      Kind of like Erik Karlsson. Doesn't mean they're overrated. What they're good at, they're the best at it and it's what makes them special players.

      Yeah but I just don't think Stamkos is a top 3 center in the league like most people say he is. Maybe top 5.

      I'd take Crosby, Malkin, Toews, Giroux before him for sure.

  24. Sad thing is he's not. He probably still considers Jensen our top prospect.
