  1. I can deal with that no problemo.
  2. I don't want a bigger faster Raymond or an advanced Hansen where Jake was drafted. I want him to score with that deadly shot in the slot like he did in his draft year. Since then i have rarely see that shot or that world class backhand in close around the net. Hopefully he can put some scoring together along with his hitting.
  3. Thats good to hear about the Bo, kid is going to be a special player.
  4. NHL a cakewalk? should temper expectations a bit. NHL defenses and structures are quite a bit faster and meaner than the AHL.
  5. The last thing you want is Virtanen becoming a Marchand type player, starting crap and letting someone else clean up the mess you started.
  6. Well we are going to find out how he does against NHL defenders in about a month.
  7. I understand that and should have clarified it. We are going to find out weather Virtanen was the right pick in the next 3-4 years vs Nylander, Ehlers. or Ritchie.
  8. It'S hard to take guys like you serious, Nylander has outperformed Virtanen at every level so far. Virtanen is a great pick for the Canucks but to blatently run down Nylander shows either you are just trolling or haven't got a clue.
  9. He also patted the Pylons nuts in the handshake line after the Leafs big choke a couple of years ago.
  10. Lets not get ahead of ourselves here. I'm not sure i see a 30 goal season in Virtanen let alone a 50.
  11. He was on 1040 with Patterson this morning and had Virtanen at 27 Boeser at 68 i think and Shink at 74 or 76. Just the 3 Nucks in his top 100.
  12. Sam Reinhart from Virtanen's draft class ring a bell..John Tavares in the NHL of the top of my head, 99 from the past.
  13. You never know..Virtanen might be gone as well or traded or have a career ending injury. The future is hard to predict.
  14. Do you think Perry, Getz, Kesler, Lucic, are worried about the great Virtanen and his reverse hit? Watch guys like Dustin Brown and his ilk go after him with knee or head shots.
  15. Button has Boeser at 9..good Button, Button has Virtanen at 30-40...bad Button. Will be interesting to see what kid is closer to his ranking.
  16. I think your starting to wig out over 10 seconds of body language from a kid on draft day.
  17. looks like Vey is a little premature in that pic
  18. Yeah by the time he gets up to speed in a good program like North Dakota he could easily be 200-205. Kid looks like he has a good frame on him.
  19. 17yr old kid wiffing on a clapper in 1 vid and he is a bust according to some of the tinpot GM's and super scouts that bless us here.
  20. I hope we don't get suckered into a copycat deal trying to follow every Cup winner. 2011 should remind us of that, you just never know how the NHL is going to officiate the playoffs. That said i like this pick from the little bit that is known about him.
  21. None of these kids have played 1 game in the NHL, predicting Nylander as Kane level or Ehlers as a 70-80 point guy for years is a big stretch to say the least. If Nylander was a Kane level franchise guy he would have been the 1st overall pick in the draft.
