  1. that's what i'm hoping for. or one of the forwards, preferably Dubois. Getting sergachev would be great. a few years ago i would have never expected we'd be in a position to have russian defensemen being half of the D corps rebuild.
  2. Correction, we want it. there's work to be done to make it happen.
  3. best case scenario IMO, sign a contract that starts next year and a PTO with Utica for the remainder of this year. barring the severity of his reported injury.
  4. Bizarre. this comes off like you forget that NHL players are humans. you shouldn't wish injuries on people, no exceptions. Just wish for a highlight reel hit and leave it at that.
  5. I'm confident in Granlund. I feel like he'll be gripping the stink a little less tightly after a few more games and I think he'll start to bury his chances.
  6. that's all there is left for him to do really.
  7. yeah, Rodin's situation is certainly unique. I think the fact that his game improved when he returned to Sweden is a positive sign. I don't think he ever quite got his feet under him in the AHL. I tend to think anyone projecting him right into the top 6 is jumping the gun. I just want to see him playing with and against NA pros.
  8. no one knows any of those things. but we know he is a top player in Sweden and it will be interesting to see him in NA. He said earlier in the year he still wants to play in the NHL. so that's all there is right now. simply an intriguing prospect who might have a sophisticated enough game to jump to the NHL next year.
  9. sending Trevor Linden to watch his games (and hopefully scout Stetcher a little bit ) is a strong play by the org to make sure Brock knows he is in the plans.
  10. Its awesome to see that after some inconsistent minutes throughout the season, he's right around that 20 minute mark so far in the playoffs. can't wait to see what happens with him in the coming years
  11. Fair point but if I'm trying to analyze moving to sign Rodin; I would have to think JB is comfortable with Anton's defensive game. I could see both Rodin and Gaunce making the roster depending on how the rest of the upcoming roster moves shake out.
  12. I wouldn't go so far as saying shink will likely never make it to the NHL. what can be said for certain is that he didn't fit the model and wasn't going to be able to shape his game as such in time to make an impact when the canucks need him.
  13. Brendan Gones is my hero.
  14. That's what Minnesota fans call Mikael.
  15. whether we'd like to accept it or not, Gaunce is the prototype and hunter is not. after time to digest the trade, it's clear JB is building a team to compete against LA and Anaheim. Stylistically, Brendan is the model of what will be added to the roster in the next couple seasons. once the Sedins are gone the Shinkaruk type of players will be targeted for acquisition.
  16. I think Boeser is the biggest reason why Shinkaruk became expendable.
  17. And an extremely OPEN mind. Talent can come from any league; I hope the fans start to embrace that more and more.
  18. i get it. it would be nice to see them called up. anything to be excited about in Van would be great right now.
  19. We've been telling you this for years! I think they are being relied on in Utica in a positive way though. they are the leaders of the team.
  20. Did he injure his shoulder on that Kesler hit?
  21. Im sure the players would agree but i believe the problem would be that the CBA can't be changed until it expires. someone can correct if im wrong.
  22. who said that? i just disagree that boeser is going to use said loophole.
  23. i disagree, its not something that worries me at all. i do agree with the NHL being able to easily fix the loophole but the CBA can't be amended for several more years if i remember correctly.
  24. i dont think it was a personal thing. that has been touched on a lot of times and it gets a little draining.
