  1. I might have been a bit reactionary with my first post in this thread but I stand by it. I like Petterson but not as much as I liked Vilardi and Glas. How can you know i wanted Nylander and Tkatchuk? Previous draft threads that's how. I had Tkatchuk at 5 and Juolevi at 6 so that draft I'm ok with. Boeser pick was great. Virtanen draft I was as high on Nylander as I was with Vilardi. I hope Petterson turns into a star. 6'2 165 pounds is hard to get over. I like his stats in his league though. The only games I watched of Petterson in the WJC he was pretty much invisible. I know he was an underager. I watched Vilardi more then any other prospect and aside from skating he's an A+ prospect in my eyes. LA got a steal at 11 with Gabe.
  2. I never said Petterson will be a bust. Just wasn't my pick at 5th overall.
  3. I'm shocked Detroit passed on him for Rasmussen. Makes me feel a bit better.
  4. Like I've said I don't mind Petterson he has good skill but he's 165 pounds and has a lot of development to do. Vilardi and Glass have NHL bodies already and also have skill. Everyone making fun of me for Vilardi falling to 11 will get a wake up call in a few years when Vilardi is a star with the kings.
  5. So if I'm right in 3 years will everyone that minuses me eat their words?
  6. Well I wanted Nylander in 2014 and was vocal about it. I would have liked size down the middle with Vilardi or Glass. Hopefully Petterson fills out and becomes a star... he looks like stiff wind could blow him over.
  7. I honestly don't mind Petterson but he's not a physical guy at all. We need some size on this team. We are gonna get walked all over.
  8. He went to the kings. Didn't they draft Kopitar 11th overall?
  9. Whoever picks him wins this draft. We will see in 3 years.
  10. Wow some picks from teams I really don't agree with so far... maybe Petterson pick wasn't so bad after all...
  11. Too bad Benning will be long gone before Petterson makes the team.
  12. Does he? I wanted Nylander and Tkatchuk. I wanted Vilardi this year. Petterson should have gone 8-10th.
  13. I'm serious Vilardi will be the best player from the draft. Glass would have been better as well. Benning sucks.
  14. Over Vilardi and Glass? Fire Benning please. Edit: After a few hours to let the pick sink in, I don't hate it. I'd still rather have Vilardi or Glass but if Petterson can fill out he looks like he could be a good player. His stats in his men's league are quite good. I'll give him a chance.
  15. Yeah he's going to be gone for sure. Vilardi or Glass please. If we takes Petterson I'll be pissed.
  16. Benning is doing better at playing poker with the media this year. Last year it was obvious he liked Dubios and Juolevi. This year it's not so obvious who he likes. Besides Makar it's apparent JB has a crush on him.
  17. We have some forwards on the team that could greatly benefit from a guy like Vilardi making space for them, and going to the dirty areas. He excels in areas where a lot of our forwards don't. Petterson is smooth and skilled but doesn't look as gritty. Plus in a high pressure situation Vilardi dominated in the Memorial Cup against some high end talent. Petterson was pretty invisible in the WJC. Petterson was an underager though.
  18. So JB doesn't want 2 of the top 5 players in the draft? If this is true we are in for a world of pain.
  19. Deniro, you and Forsberg are guys who get it. Petterson looks like a decent prospect but Vilardi looks like a sure fire 2nd liner at worst.
