  1. I might be a year early on all this...but I don't think so...look at NJ...they started the year with 7 player's 21 years old or younger...one or two may be 22 now but they are all in the lineup and doing just fine. I have seen enough of Gaudette to know he will make it and Gadjovich is built for the NHL...he is 90% a sure bet...Lind maybe 80%...all the other kids I put in the lineup are in the NHL now or are sure bets...Juolevi included.... Finally a line of EP / Bo / BB would be impossible to deal with ... Goaltending is the only issue...after we draft one of the top 4 D. in this years draft.
  2. That was an impossible angle rocket that nearly dinged in....! I don't think Gaudette and certainly not Petterson...need anytime in the AHL, both will be Canucks next year. Juolevi might have to start in Utica but by the trade deadline at latest he will be a Canuck. Gadjovich and Lind are going to light it up in Utica and be ready to go in 2 years....MacEwen should be good to go on the 4th line next year sometime. With Jake and Goldy coming on and Dahlen also looking like he might be good to go by the end of next year... Your 2019 playoff cup contender's: Pettersson / Horvat / Boeser Baer / Gaudette / Goldy Dahlen / Sutter / Virtanen Gadjovich / Gaunce / MacEwen Gagme...if we have too....I guess and Eriksson if we have too ....I guess.... If the Sedins are here for one more year that would mean Dahlen and one other player stays in Utica or gets traded. We need Gaudette as a center next year and when Pettersson is ready to be a center again we will be able to roll 3 highly offensive lines and still have a 4th line with Gaunce Gadjovich and MacEwen...not too shabby.... Add Dahlin too that group and the sky is hardly the limit!
  3. 2 post above is a bar graph....it shows that Heiskanen who was drafted 3rd overall is not doing as well as Juolevi at controlled zone exits ...he get's the puck out everytime.... Next year I see him and Stecher being a Killer pair for us, Stecher is just breaking out now ...half way through his second year and Oli only need about a year more...he may start in Utica but by mid season next year I see him with Stecher...
  4. ....This needs to bumped...our prospect pool is as good as anyone's now....we should have had 6 prospects in the tourney and 3 of the 4 players we do have in the tourney are doing better than any 3 from any other team in my opinion...
  5. For Center's we have Bo, Gaudette and Petterson ( LW to start and C. within 2 years) as well as Sutter (for now)...if we can get one of the top 4 D. in this draft I think we can make do with MacEwen or Gaunce or similar for our 4th center once Sutter is gone. edit; should have read the other post above before posting...they are saying the same thing....
  6. EP and OJ both have that calm ability to hold the puck long enough for the right play to present itself. They are both capable of playing "takeaway" defence...steaking pucks and passes as well as the ability to deliver breakaway or "onetimer" passes. EP has better moves than that punk from Chi town and plays better D. Goldy and Stecher coming on, Gaudette, Gadjovich, Lind and the rest of the kids...soon here...one top D. away from cup contending is where we are!
  7. Boeser now tied with Ovi in the scoring race again and both are top 15 in the league. New Jersey started the season with 7 players age 21 or younger...they have not fallen off there incredible pace yet, but Nico only has 7 goals...I think EP has twice as many by New Years next year....we need to play Dahlen and Goldobin and Gaudette as well and by the end of the year maybe Gadjovich or MacEwen or both. If we can keep Vanek producing we should be able to a 1st round pick plus a prospect out of a playoff hopeful team...draft one of the top 4 D. with our pick and pick up another C. with the Vanek pick.... Rebuild done...if we nab Dahlin...Rebuild ...overbuilt...cup contender until we can't afford them....
  8. ...maybe it's better to be cut....particularly if you don't think you should have been...43 save SO...!
  9. The faster Jake progresses...the better this looks and I think he is turning a corner this year ...maybe a 20 goal scorer next year if he gets some linemates....
  10. I tend to agree with you...but at least Nylander is having a better game than last game...where he was looking like the Gagme out there...he isn't losing the puck anymore ...he just isn't doing much with it....
  11. ...wouldn't mind drafting another flow....maybe AJ in the 3rd round or so.... never mind drafted already....
  12. If only that goal was 20 Lbs heavier.... EP is going to be even more of a highlight reel machine than our beloved BB...!!!!
  13. ...but like I said Oli will still be better...and we won't have Tanev for too much longer...maybe 3 years at most.
  14. The tide has already turned...not many teams have a 40 goal scorer...let alone a rookie one....I would speed your time frame up by one year at least...we will be a contender in 2 more years with the draft of a top 10 D. picked this year...Dahlin, Boqvist, Hughes, Wilde or even Merkley or Woo might do....
  15. McAvoy wasn't even in the conversation at the time of the draft and Sergachev seemed a bit "flakey" and not as good in his own zone. I still say Oli will be a more valuable #2 D than whatever Sergachev turns into even if it is a #1 D...I think Sergachev would need a Tanev to be a true #1 as well as some more seasoning of course....and always be less than stellar on defense.
  16. Oli is a class act....Tkachuk will have a class action filed against him on day....no thanks....and Keller was a long shot at the time....
  17. I did not get to see much of the game at all ( half the 3rd)...the one shift I saw Oli he looked almost bored...he beat a defender to the side of his own net and carried the puck up ice...made a nice cross ice pass and could have gone to the net, but just slowly circled back to his spot on point. I think we see a more engaged OJ against Canada and that will mean more ice time for him as well....
  18. ...people need an issue to grab hold of...nothing to see here, he is average speed, he could use work on his edge work, he is first to the puck in a 15 foot race every-time.....
  19. Gadjovich / Gaudette / MacEwen.....need I say more....
