  1. I guess no news on Tryamkin's update in terms of contract, and whether he's on his way?
  2. the other thing that also concerns me is that he doesn't want to play in the AHL. but what if he needs more seasoning? goes back to Russia for that? sounds like NHL or bust.
  3. I have to admit. Vey has begun to win me over lately with his play. but he's no number one centre. Linden Vey is a good supporting cast type player. might be able to do much better on a different team.
  4. yah. that is good news
  5. if Hank is out for a while. our chances of drafting top three just got higher real fast. no way this team is .500 without Hank.

    yeah. he's been out so long I almost forgot about him! that makes the line up trickier. someone has to be exposed to waivers then. probably gonna lose another young player most likely. ok. maybe this then: Sedin/Sedin/Sutter Bäertschi/Horvat/Virtanen Etem/Granlund/Hansen Gaunce/Vey/Dorsett Burrows - buy out? McCann - start the year in Utica. defense, if we can carry 8 looks ok. Edler/Tanev Hutton/Sbisa Hamhuis/Tryamkin extra on defense: Pedan, Larsen sent to AHL: Biega.

    hoping that Granlund can become what Hansen is today. Hansen was projected to be a third or fourth line player. but he's having a great year. and he's such a versatile player. I think Granlund can become a similar type player. don't think he will ever become a first line player. but I don't think it's a stretch to say that he can play top six minutes and fill in admirably. but he's probably more suited to the third line centre or wing and maybe be a tweener in terms of a second liner. he is still very young at 22 years of age. so there's room for him to grow still. hoping for the best in terms of Granlund's development and growth projection as a player.
  8. Ahh! thx for clearing that up JR
  9. so I'm hearing that his mobility is pretty good for a player of his size. what's the diff between mobility and agility then for a hockey player?
  10. if the reports are true. that would be excellent! hope to see him in Canuck colours before the end of the season
  11. updates on this? is he on his way?

    that defense is going to eaten alive. need a veteran back there. too many rookies on D. Hamhuis. but that only means someone has got to go. I'd put Biega on waivers. if he gets picked up. that's fine. no great loss. but if he passes. then we can call him up later in the season when injuries occur. i I also think a lot of people will be disappointed in Rödin. I'm not sure if he can just be slotted with the Sedins and expect to be producing like a first liner. I think Rödin is a solid third liner. maybe a tweener second liner. heres what I think will happen: Sedins/Hansen Bäertschi/Horvat/Virtanen Burrows/Granlund/Etem Gaunce/Vey/Dorsett McCann I really think will be spending a good portion of the year in Utica.

    I can't really see Rödin playing top six minutes. or even have a top six role in the NHL. but we'll see I guess. are the Canucks trying to sign him and bring him over and play with the big club this season? or is he going to start again in the AHL and work his way up? i see Etem, Granlund, Vey as all middle to bottom six type players. they're good support pieces. but not necessarily pieces you build around a franchise.
  14. yep. played 11:17 last night. well. Vey didn't get that much more either. he played 13 min.
  15. well. if we look at statistics. Jake only has what. 11 points in almost 40 games now in the NHL? Kesler had 5 points in 28 games in his first year as a pro. so yes. if we're gonna judge the two players on statistics alone. Jake is already ahead of the game than Kesler was at the same age. with that being said. I'm encouraged to see Virtanen improving his game and finding more confidence. the kids got a wicked shot. he needs to shoot more. and I think he will next season. I think he finishes this season with close to 10 goals. not sure if he reaches 10 goals. but he'll be close me thinks. next season. I expect 20-25 points from him in his second season. that should be reasonable expectation for him. if he delivers more. that's just gravy.
  16. know who the top five best for the 2017? Patrick can't be the only player in that draft class. there's got to be more. if we tank next year. it better for clear cut number one then. lol.

    Jake can play either wing, can't he?
  18. yeah. hopefully they sign him soon. love to see him in the line up. wanna see what they can do.

    super excited to see what Gaunce can do tonight. where's he playing in the line up? 4th line?
  20. I get the sense that he won't be playing any NHL games either this season.
  21. might be management screwing up. lol.
  22. bury some of the contracts down in Utica.
  23. yes. but first overall doesn't guarantee a superstar player. sounds to me like 2017 is one of those draft years where there's no clear consensus of the number overall player. not like this year where it's been Matthews that's clearly gonna be the number one pick in the draft.
