  1. That's 14 NHL'rs and MacEwen...assuming we keep 13 forwards, someone has to be traded or we need to send Gaudette down even though he will beat out Sutter in training camp...Sutter is the guy that needs to go and then send Loui E. down if we can't trade him with Sutter. Baer is the other wild card in all this as well, can he stay healthy? ...and then there is Goldy...we just drafted a Russian and we want Tryamkin back ...so we should give him one more look as well...
  2. SO much wrong here.... EP and BB are stars...QH will be a star and Bo is not far off those 3.... If Miller and Myers pull a Lui on us....then MacEwen and Juolevi are right there waiting to step in...and there is also Ferland and the bump that Gaudette and EP should get from having put in a season. There is very little that can keep us from a playoff spot this year...we have been among the top 5 most injured teams for a few years now, that is likely to change this year...the Ref's and U Bett man are the only obstacles I see.... We will be 3rd in the Pacific or better...! Just watch...!
  3. Toni just keeps on making plays and drawing penalty's....oh and scoring goals like he means it....5th round pick that just needs a few pancakes and years from the look of it...!
  4. Wait...What...Wrister...from the point....!
  5. WooUtunen....had 2 goals and an assist.... ...Toni had 2 goals....
  6. There's the glass half empty type's....the glass half full type's and the "screw the glass, pass the bottle" type's ...or as a wise man once said...there 2 types of people in this world...those that think there are only 2 types of people and those that know better. Juolevi will be vital part of our first Stanley Cup...year after next....!
  7. oh...5th... I never said Oli is as good as Hughes...I said that given Oli has been injured or recovering for about a year total time since he was drafted....that they are starting this year on even playing fields and we will see who can push for that last spot on our D. Oli's injury was in fact keeping him from performing turns properly...particularly skating backwards....I expect him to be more mobile, maybe not by Sept. but by Nov. for sure. You are a perfect example of a 5th line player....in the minors....
  8. Oli ...is 21 years old...one year older than Quinn...minus a years worth of injury setback...they are entering this year on a more or less even playing field...so Oli may yet surprise you folks.... ALSO....anyone expecting a 5th overall to be a superstar...just because they were picked 5th....sigh.....even 1st overall is no guarantee of a first liner ...let alone a Superstar...
  9. Do we have room for the Try man now.... Edler - StecherHughes - MyersBenn/Juolevi - Tanev That's 7 guys...if we carry 8 D. then Fantenberg draws in...Oli makes the team as soon as the first D. man gets injured...in training camp....or the weight room just before camp starts... By mid season Oli will be pulling Hutton's minutes...making room would have to involve trading one of Tanev or Stecher...here's hoping they start the season in good health and are tradable if we need to.
  10. I will try one last time and then you can have the last word.... BUT then we couldn't sign one of BB, EP or QH to there next contracts....they are more of an asset than the Assette....
  11. We have 3 of those guys now in Ferland, Roussel and Miller...as well as MacEwen ready for the show this year...when Roussel gets back we may have too many (kidding)...and none of those guys makes me want to mush their faces into the glass, even Roussel is more reactionary than advancing crapheadedness to a new level.... just saying....
  12. Ya...Oli has already turned 21...which as we all know means he is all washed up as an NHL D.man....no D. ever enters the NHL after 21 and is any good.... Oh wait....how about half the D. in the NHL enter the league after they turn 21.... Which statement rings true? "Getting Real" regarding this player means giving him a year or 2 after he gets his first NHL game to see where he might end up as a 22 year old ( which is one year older than Quinn Hughes is now) I think more Canucks fans would like a high minute D. over a high level of craphead Tchapuke.... Also if we had Tupchuck we couldn't sign one of Boeser, EP or QH ...all of whom I would much rather have....!
  13. ...Wish I could give you a few more up-votes for this one...!
  14. Personally I thought he had more good games than Sutter...but you could be right about starting in Utica...
  15. Our Hobey Baker winner...Gaudette....
  16. I think Goldy has great hands...maybe better than EP...it's the rest of his game that still needs to grow. I still want him on the team and I do expect some growth in attitude and positioning on D., I hope that's enough to keep him on the team and progressing.
  17. ShaysterHyster Mr. DoubleOh...that is a juicy rumour....! ....Now we have to sign Goldy...
  18. How the hell did we luck into this guy....! He drives the net like a 21-22 year old Bo but has the hands of Goldy (at a minimum ) and the shot of EP. I sure hope we can get him here a year from now...I am sure he will be ready by then....and we will be not only in the playoffs but a force to be reckoned with...!
  19. Same deal as Teves got...depth signings for the expansion draft, etc.
  20. We now have a glut of young D. and D. in general...with Hughes and Juolevi ( at some point ) making the team this year and Myers and Benn added... There is now way Woo can push his way on to the team this year...even if he deserved it. With the style of game he plays, another year in Jr. is going to better prepare him for getting crunched by NHL brutes taking revenge on Woo's hits.... We don't need 3 rookie defensemen on the team...it just isn't going to happen that way....
  21. Buddy...those are pairings...if we play an uber offensive team...then Edler and Tanev play the most minutes...otherwise Hughes and Myers will... Just Watch....!
  22. Somewhere between these 2 pundits....lies the reality of Oli's situation.... As I said before he will be playing top 4 by Xmas... Hughes / Myers Juolevi / Stecher Edler / Benn or Tanev for the shutdown pair
  23. Sure...but JB and Judd are finding gems in the 2nd round and a player in the later rounds... Also it isn't going to be 5 years out of the playoffs....we make the playoffs this year and if Juolevi and Hughes do what I expect them too...we may just make some noise in the post season...! Just watch....!
