Merci

Wow surgically wrecked nylander groupies

Jemsen is our most elusive player and can snipe how is that not like nylander and ehlers. Gaunce and horvat are not power forward wingers like ritchie will be. And kassian and him are perfect line mates. Try again

Matthias doeant provide us with what ritchie will not even close. Gaunce a pwf come on guys.

Yea u can have 1 or 2 soft skill guys and ur right that we dont have that in the form of nylander or ehlers. But i put stock in shinkaruk and jensen being that element for us. Ritchie is another top 6 we need to have at over 220lbs

They did for sure.

Pot calling kettle black ahahahah

Yay one more round to go and its almost ze draft. Glad LA won so we stay on the big tough mind set.

Dream Scenario: Edler to Detroit for Mantha straight up Hansen + Booth to NYI for 2nd Kesler + 2nd + 2nd to TB for Drouin then draft Ritchie Ritchie Drouin Mantha Shinkaruk Henrik Kassian

Paajarvi: 35 games 3 points as 16yr old SHL 50 games 17 points as 17yr old SHL 49 games 29 points as 18 yr old SHL Yea I guess his numbers do add up to a top 10 pick. Have to admit when you really crunch it Ritchie and Nylander and Ehlers are damn damn close.

Doesn't make sense to me. Barkov: 16 points in 32 games in Liaga as a 16yr old 48 points in 53 games as a 17 yr old Nylander: 7 points in 22 games in SHL as a 17 yr old Yet 2nd overall -----> 6th overall. Weak draft? yea ok>?

Yea if he had 20 more points if would be 1st Lol Nylander on the big ice is a joke.

See if you've watched Ritchie like most pro's have you'll see this immediately within his game. He isn't bad at anything. Full speed, cross rink saucer passes Bullet one timer Half a second release wrist shot IQ to find the open ice to be wide open and make plays Drives the net as hard as possible Fast as fuck

Yes, but why. Why would he get bigger he already lost 10 lbs this past year from 236 to 225, He'll drop all his fat and then gain a good 10 llbs of muscle topping out at 228~. His speed is amazing if you actually checked it out, as well in his interview he said the thing he's worked on the most is his speed and conditioning haha The Pylon factor is real, but the kid is educated enough to know that's his weakness.

When did I say Ehlers was soft? months ago? One of my most recent posts I said he is scary resilient for being so small. And I am happy to admit Nylander smoked ppl on the strength tests, Their game won't translate it''s my opinion. I think they'll be amazing 2nd liners like Grabner and never be breakers. I may be completely wrong and they both could be Hall of Famers. But the fact Ritchie is as fast as he is, I don't care about the chance Ehlers or Nylander could ever be that.

Can't disagree with you here. I just think Ritchie is that game breaker size or no size in the Pacific Division.

So his conditioning/professionalism is why we shouldn't draft him 6th but at 8th it's fine. So you acknowledge his, shot, speed, physicality, two way game, saucer passing, insane hockey IQ, having an older brother that's pro. All makes him valuable at 8th but not 6th. You guys are hilarious.

You think Ritchie plays like Kassian, why is that cuz he's big? Your opinion isn't even existent.

Just curious but what would you have to have seen from Ritchie to bump him those 2 spots up?

Today he isn't in 3 years he is.

It proves my fact that a 22 yr old Kassian can score in the NHL and is an offensively skilled player

Yea we will Kassian Shinkaruk and Jensen are all 30 goal scorers in the making. Read a book.

Kassian was 5th in team scoring. Try Again.

Nichuskin is 205 lbs tips, And yea SJ La and ANaheim are already big enough.

Ritchie plays three times the physical game Kass does, with a better shot. If anything Kassian is the set up man and Ritchie is the Sniper, both creating tons of space on the ice for Horvat. I guess Iam saying the translation into the NHL isn't as smooth as you've all made it out to be. If we acknowledged it was a risk of him playing the game he does in the NHL you say he does, and I say he doesn't I've seen his footage and the defenders play worse than Stanton and Weber on terrible days. I see Nyland and Ehlers as solid 25 goal 60 point scorers on Eastern teams, but we need Ritchie to mold into a Neely and take our team to the promise land with his speed and shot.

Yea they drafted the antithesis to the big team. Do you think Nylander is like Kane, if so then we should stop talking.
