  1. Anyone watching the Victoria game? That Teves guy sucks. He messed up 2 passes in a role.
  2. Bo should be the next captain. EP and Boeser are better skilled players without question when compared to Bo. But the captaincy should still be given to Bo. Why? EX: EP plays with emotion and you can tell by his off-ice interviews and on-ice plays. Having a captain that is emotional is not a good idea as emotions can also be construed as immaturity and lack of poise. So having, EP being the captain will not work because the emotions he expresses is how he plays and if it is taken away, it will affect his game negatively. For Boeser, he is as level-headed as Bo and more skilled. However, Bo is a better all around player and you want your leader to lead by example not just from the offensive end but the defensive end as well. So purely based on the fact that Bo is the better 2 way player, Boeser shouldn't be captain.
  3. Yes sir, would you like some french fries as well Mr.CEO?
  4. Because at 10, I would want someone that can carry a line on his own. That is why I wanted Matthew Boldy because I see that potential in him. Do I have proof? Of course not. Only time will tell and hopefully I am wrong about Podkolzin.
  5. I don't know man. I am very good at what I do. My services might be needed elsewhere
  6. Nah, I rather stay at home after a good day's work and argue with keyboard warriors such as yourself
  7. Yeah? And why did he rank 3 and they dropped to 10? Because scout's ranks mean nothing and if their ranking were perfect, guys like Nail Yakupov wouldn't be drafted.
  8. Cool! Did you also know that dinosaurs have feathers and look more like chicken than they do in Jurassic Park?
  9. No, I dont think I know more than Bracket or Benning. But I doubt evaluating one's hockey talent is scientific and can be measured. If so, there would never be a bad pick or a bust because all teams would pick the best sure fire player. I see the same game that Podkolzin plays as they do and I do not see what is so special about Podkolzin. Podkolzin will be good and can become a NHL player. But doubt he can carry a line on his own.
  10. Yeah but at 10, I would've wanted someone that could lead a forward line on its own and be the driving force.
  11. Yeah, but Ryan Smith and Burrows never really lead the lines they were in. They were mostly very good complimentary players to the stars of the team.
  12. No, its a reference to the guy who replied to me about Podkolzin's potential through an article by someone else. Like an article from some online source is what would define what a player will become. I responded by giving him another reference to another highly sought after prospect called Nail Yakupov and we all know where he is now.

  14. Am I the only one who is upset about this pick? Vasili Podkolzin had awkward as skating and he reminds me of Ryan Smyth. Not that Ryan Smyth isn't good but I would have chosen Matthew Boldy. I just do not see Vasili Podkolzin becoming a first liner. He looks to me to be more like a Ryan Smyth or Alex Burrows player. Good utility player but not one that can lead a team. Sigh....
  15. You right, we should definitely move down to take Suzuki if the other picks i suggested are gone.
  16. Yes you are right because we can also trade a good center for a good dman in the future. Always get BPA
  17. We should either pick Zegras, Suzuki or soderstrom. And I also believe Krebs will not be in the NHL imo
  18. We need to either draft Zegras or Suzuki. I know they are both centres but these two are elite and will be NHL players.
  19. LOL! Horvat expendable? How many times have you hit your head son? Please wear a helmet when walking down the street.
  20. Jesus Christ, if Benning is really thinking about acquiring the 1st overall because we are hosting it and Jack Hughes is Quinn Hughe's brother then we should fire Benning. It is this kind of sentiment towards players that made us draft Jake Virtanen in his draft year because he is a BC boy and can be like Cam Neely? Wtf? How does this logic make sense?
  21. The Nico Hischier comparison is spot on. I was thinking the same thing. Like decent player but not top line player.
  22. Does anyone here think that Jack Hughes is going to be a bust? Like he will be in the NHL but as a third line winger.
  23. Yeah, when I look at Hughes I notice his skating. But its not like its blazing speed. Also, his passing and shot isn't that great.
