  1. Well, look at the Sedins. They went from fawns on skates to NHL iron men. I think Pettersson will follow suit.
  2. It seems I liked Guddy more then most. HF boards are celebrating. I really liked Guddys size and intimidation. But even I can admit he’s been sucking bad lately and this might be for the best. I think they (management) might have looked into this after the Arizona game. Guddy looked overwhelmed out there... Pearson doesn’t sound to happy to be coming here, but I guess we will see what happens.
  3. I’m not surprised to see Hughes and Juolevi on there, but I’m definitely surprised at how well Woo is doing.
  4. Nylander is a talent, but he doesn’t have the heart Pettersson has.
  5. Yeah his numbers are almost as good as Hughes. I’m guessing it has to do with zone entries and whatnot. If it’s accurate though it looks good for us having 3 defenders on there.
  6. Besides the amazing skill obviously, the thing I like most about this fella is his compete level. He’s got the heart of a grinder. He reminds me of Crosby in that way. Can’t wait to see his intensity in the playoffs. It’s also good to have a laid back guy like Brock as his roomate/linemate to keep him from being to hard on himself.
  7. How accurate has this system been over the years? It looks legit.
  8. I bet Hughes watches a lot of the Canucks games, and sees Pouliot and Biega doing what they do, and is thinking he can come in and take a spot instantly. If he comes in and can prove he can be solid defensively it’s his 3rd pairing left side D spot to lose.
  9. If Jake learned how to use his speed and crash the net with the puck more often he wouldn’t get the Green head game treatment.
  10. Hutton went from being so bad he was un tradable last year, to being an almost untouchable this year. I think we should keep him, but if he’s dealt at least we will get fair value now.
  11. I look at our teams future, then I look at the Oilers, and cry tears of joy.
  12. If he turns out as good as his dad we are laughing. His dad was a great hockey player for Jersey.
  13. I’m obviously not a scout but Wahlstrom hasn’t looked that good, whenever I’ve seen him on tv.
  14. I think the Canucks will make the playoffs. I’m a believer now this season. The whole team is playing inspirational hockey aside from the first half of that wings game.. anyways, I’m predicting that Hughes will be Quarterbacking the power play in the playoffs this season. First or second unit who knows but this will all be valuable experience for these young guys. The draft pick position is overrated now with the lottery. Playoff experience is invaluable.
  15. Is the rumour true that the Canucks wanted to pull Hughes from Michigan early? I heard this, then then never heard anything more about it.
  16. The hype is getting a bit out of hand. I heard someone say he’s the next Gaudrau... having said that, he’s on about as good a trajectory as a 3rd round pick can be on honestly. Amazing pick by Benning and company.
  17. I never said that. He asked me who is a star player after 5th overall. Is he not a star player? Chillax.
  18. He has a good shot that’s for sure. Will be a great depth player in a few years.
  19. Jake having a great year so far. He’s still really young and going to be a beast at 24-25. Sure shut up the haters pretty good.
  20. I definitely think he will be a top 3 player from the 2018 draft. His skating and hockey IQ are elite.
  21. Yeah it wasn’t even close. People were celebrating with the Hughes pick. People were mad we didn’t take Tkachuk. I think that had a bit to do with Politics.
  22. I don’t know man. I still have faith in Juolevi but Tkachuk would look amazing with Pettersson or Horvat...
  23. This guy looks like a steal. Just needs to keep working hard and add some size to his frame.
  24. They were only playing Kazakhstan, but Hughes looked like Bobby Orr out there. Best player on the ice besides Farabee. Canucks are going to be a dominating team in a few years with him feeding Pettersson and Boeser.
