  1. Eichel is way better at everything else and is not that much behind in goal scoring ability.
  2. This might be one of the stupidest posts I've ever seen. You already have shown you cant evaluate talent with how obsessed you are with Jensen. Even if Jake doesn't come close to reaching his potential I bet he still puts up numbers close to Hanzal. Hanzals been a 30 point player most of his career.
  3. Anyone ever take a masking agent for a piss test?

      How much do you smoke? When is the test?

      Chug many many litres of water before the pee test; end your stream in the cup, don't start it there. vitamin b2 /b12 roughly an hour before the test, cranberry juice.

      Mask kits don't do anything except dilute your system and jam it full of vitamins to put colour in your urine. How many days until the test?

  4. Yeah I think he's down to 210 or something now. When he's fully developed he'll probably be around 220 and be a force.
  5. Guys are pretty much done growing by 20, at most he'll grow maybe half an inch. Could see him adding 20 pounds within the next couple years though.
  6. From the HF thread about McDavid and getting targeted for hits. "I think McDavid will be fine he's an incredible skater and had Orr talking to him for years. I only worry about Jake Virtanen, that kid is 225 and skates like Ovie in another year. I think McDavid will be respected though." Some people here really don't know what a special player we have in Virtanen. It's why Benning picked him over Nylander/Ehlers and why Benning keeps hinting he will be on the team. I said last season Horvat would make the team and I believe Virtanen has an even better chance to make it than Horvat did last year.
  7. Hmm lets see....he's only 18 and he'd already be our fastest skater, hardest hitter, 3rd in shot probably behind Vrbata and Sutter and hands would only be behind Sedins, Vrbata, Baertschi and Vey who are purely skilled players... He's also already atleast as good defensively as Kassian was..
  8. CDC and HF will be hilarious if Sutter underperforms and we're stuck with the contract for 5 years. Not that I think he will though.

      i think sutter is going to surprise a lot of people...maybe not as a goal scorer but melding with line mates...

      Yeah I think he puts up almost 50 points this season

    4. Tom Sestito

      He won't. He's not a good enough even strength offensive player (quite an awful one but that's fine) and we don't have the offensive weapons to support his production on the third line. He'll be in the range of 30 points WHICH IS FINE if he's on the third line.

  9. Wow Predators haven't drafted a player out of the OHL since 2011... Josh Shalla..

      That's so weird. I know him, went to my school. He's from Oshawa or in a city right beside it

      Looks like they scout Europe the heaviest. Followed by the QMJHL and then the WHL/USNDP

  10. He had some nice dekes and toe drags last night. His hands are a little bit better then I thought they were. Seems like training with the Canucks staff is really helping his game, which is why I think he'll be on the team.
  11. I'm surprised people are still debating, I feel it's quite obvious now he's going to be on the team this year, atleast imo.
  12. Apparently Sean Day is 247 pounds... and can still skate like the wind :/

      Chycrun or Day will be a coup for our club

      I still think Chychrun is going to be an all star in the NHL.

      Gotta be getting pretty chubby. Or he's been pumping iron regularly since he was 12.

  13. Alot of hockey players are annoying unless you know them. He's still a kid also.
  14. Virtanen doubters need to chill... If Sutter can put up 20 goals, Virtanen with twice the talent and more speed should have no problem scoring atleast that in the show

    1. Brad Marchand

      Brad Marchand

      Why?

      It's much more fun to hate. Benning sucks, Virtanen sucks, Sutter sucks.

      In fact, every Canuck sucks until they leave, then they become future HOFers.

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      but probably not this season...benning said, he still has things to learn,,,,he'll get there but they won't rush him...

    3. Mathew Barzal

      Mathew Barzal

      Nobody thinks he can't do that. We just should have traded down five spots before picking him.

  15. I just hope atleast 1 forward is traded before the season starts. 1 or 2 of Grenier, Kenins, Virtanen, Gaunce, Shinkaruk will be ready this year.

    1. thejazz97

      thejazz97

      Grenier + Shink + Gaunce + Kenins

      Winter Soldier

      Kenins is already ready so I don't know why you'd mention him here.

  16. Surprised how many people are freaking out about losing Clendening. He wasn't even good in the Comets run, and he's small and slow. He'll top out as a bottom pairing defenseman which aren't very hard to find...

      I liked Clendening but we won this trade, especially if we can re-sign Sutter.

      I am happy Clenny is gone;. Never liked losing Forsling, but, am now happier more prospects can transition to the comets and progress in their development.

    4. Erik Karlsson

      Erik Karlsson

      That is correct Marchand

  17. That's why I want Hamuis and Vrbata traded near the deadline so we can drop to atleast a top 5 pick and can make a big package to grab Chychrun.
  18. Chris Higgins joke has really taken off on HF...

  19. Chris Higgins has really taken off on HF...

  20. Look at Lucic, he never even got to ppg in jr, skipped the AHL and has put up 30 goal seasons. Virtanen is way faster and is more talented offensively. His offense should translate just fine imo, and I'm pretty positive he will be on the team this season. He's working with the team 5 days a week. His shot should get back to where it was and I'm sure they'll let him know what they expect from him to make the team.
  21. He's a pretty good prospect.... Put up better numbers in the AHL than pretty much any prospect we've had, and has 30 points in 69 NHL games while getting dicked around with the Flames. I easily see him putting up around 40 points next season. That is if WD gets off his meds and gives him proper pp time. If I see Higgins, Hansen, Dorsett, etc get pp time over Baertschi, Horvat and the young guys, I'm going to lose it.
  22. That's funny coming from you and the Cuthbert gang... Ain't no hate, just playin around.
  23. Well no crap eh, that's kinda the point... Sorry everything goes over your head.. There's no way you're a scout... This kid is defintely our best goal scoring prospect by a lot. Virtanen needs to learn a few things from his and get his scoring touch back.
