LOL I wont be surprised if the Gophers get shut out again.

I think theres a reason why Gillis really wanted Schroeder to leave Minnesota, not because he gets to play near Vancouver, (Everett Silvertips) but that fact that there have been problems with that developement program and that Gillis saw that, Minnesota is not going to be a strong team this season. Pretty much the same reason Garth Snow was trying to pull out Aaron Ness out of Minnesota to a diffrent leauge. MIke Gillis pay so much attention to detail, that he probably knows more about other teams and other leauges then people think. That guys puts in so much time in researching whatever he needs to know. Lets see how it turns out in the end... if Gillis choice of asking him to join the Silvertips was the right one or if Schroeder deciding to stay in Minnesota for 1 more year was the right one.

Nice to hear, but he needs to develope his offensive game at the NHL level. It's nothing to us if he lights it up in tier 2 hockey.

Scouts say he's a winger. In a interview video, he said he's a centerman. But it's great to have players that can play multiple positions. Apparently he's good at taking faceoffs too. A pure bonus. Hodgson gets waived, out here comes Schroeder who is also a faceoff man. Very excited about this guy, unbelievable pick. What a gift to Canuck fans at 22.
