  1. He had 9 goals this year in the AHL. Find one player comparable to that who went on to a top line career in the NHL. I have no doubt he can end up a 3rd or 4th line player at some point, but the dream of a high scoring power forward i think is not likely to happen.
  2. When did Clark Gillies struggle?
  3. Unless things change drastically (which they could) Virtanen will not be a top six high scoring power forward winger that was drafted at number 6.
  4. I don't think it's so much of a bust scenario it's just that at a number 6 pick he is underperforming from what you would hope from a high pick. He could turn out to be a great 3rd liner for sure. But disappointing none the less if that is his ceiling.
  5. I don't want a fighter i want toughness. I'm tired of watching the defence wave their sticks at the puck when a simple bodycheck and try to send a guy to the ice would do wonders around the net.
  6. Awesome, thank you... yeah i used to watch a lot of junior games but don't have the time or location now.
  7. Based on what? On what you have read or do you get to see games.
  8. Just on his AHL season this year, tongue in cheek there. Seriously i don't think he will be that low but i'm not sure he will be a 20 goal scorer either. Mind you i didn't see Yakupov as a fringe player either... Where do you see him in the future?
  9. After this season i see him as more of a Darcy Hordichuk player, i think we will be jumping for joy if he turns into Torres and is a 20 goal scorer.
  10. Unless a switch gets turned on soon i see him as another Kassian kind of project. 4th line guy who can score 10 goals and create an energy shift. The coaches put a positive spin on everything but the reality is that it is highly doubtful he lives up to his billing as a top line power forward.
  11. He probably came back under an alias name... some other prize poster we deal with now! lol
  12. It's pretty safe to say that those same people are dumb as doornails.
  13. lmao! I think at this point you could say 25 percent of Bossy and not have to worry about cotton in your diet.
  14. Serious? You pick out one of the greatest goal scorers of all time to compare him to? Rookie of the year Mike Bossy i think only once (his last season) scored under 50 goals in a season... the all time leader in Goals per game. In junior he was unreal at goal scoring too.
  15. Didn't the Islanders have them horrible uniforms then?
  16. It was pretty easy to google "Lebrun horvat for drouin" I apologize but I was on the road at the time and my wife's driving was more concerning than trying to figure out how to copy and paste on my phone.
  17. Lol this has to be the funniest thing I've seen, someone claims a rumor or "cdc hogwash" that no trade was ever mentioned and when you tell them it did they freak out and block you! Hahaha unreal!
  18. I call troll! Maybe your mom can show you how to use google! How did you make it this far in life? Lol
  19. Here's a hint Pierre Lebrun, now quit being a lazy azz and go listen!
  20. I just searched for it and found it in less than 2 minutes!
  21. Lol if you people don't pay attention to what is going on in the hockey world, go away!!
  22. Your the one who wants to hear it then search for it.
  23. Just because you didn't hear doesn't mean it didn't happen! It wasn't BMac but it was someone from TSN. Maybe research a bit before you say something dumb.
  24. So where would you put him in the top 20?
  25. I think it was a situation like the Russia team was in. First game, finding their legs and new teammates. I sure don't think Russia plays like this the whole tournament and i bet they get better as time goes on. thinking the same for Finland.
