  1. I'm thinking of picking it up, but I was wondering: Can I play the story mode by myself, or is it always co-op online?
  2. Thanks man, interesting chart. 3% seems reasonable, as players a likely getting ~10% more money with an agent than if the negotiated on their own.
  3. My hopes for him are Higgins-like middle six production (averageing 40 points, might put up 25 goals and 50 points in a career year) while being a solid face-off guy and good defensively. Ideal for a 3rd line centre that can do spot duty in the top 6 when required.
  4. In recent times: Rick Dipietro 1st overall in 2000 and Marc Andre Fleury 1st overall in 2003 come to mind.
  5. To be fair to Plum, he did first compare Horvat to Jarret Stoll (who has a career best of 22 goals and 68 points in one season, along with multiple 40+ point seasons). If Horvat tops out as a ~65 point two way centre we all should be rather pleased.
  6. Two Questions here: 1) Why were there 35 second round picks in the 2004 Draft? 2) What is the average commision (%) an agent earns on a player's contract?
  7. Fair enough mate. HF does seem to be way out of the park on a lot of players, a good warning to our newer members.
  8. Nevermind my ramblings. I now see what you mean, at 8 D he has a chance to drop 3 rankings. So they are in fact saying he is unlikely to be a 2nd line forward.
  9. According to HF's number ranking system, 8 is a first line forward, a #2 d man, or a starting goaltender, 7 is a second line forward, a # 3-4 d man, or a journeyman goldtender.
  10. Sorry, I should have added more to my post. I agree with you in saying Ehlers is a dynamic, not one dimensional, offensive player. I disagree with you in saying "basing our opinions on scouting reports removes our credibility when speak about a player's abilities". (paraphrasing)
  11. Probably because scouts evaluate players for a living and generally have a more accurate projection of players than fans do.
  12. After hearing his name and watching a little video, i figured we realistically would have a Hal Gill-like NHLer in him. But after seeing (and hearing) that his skating is already miles better that Gill's ever was I am very interested in this guy.
  13. Not a bad line up, I think I'd switch a few guys though: Sedin-Sedin-Jensen Burrows-Kesler-Schroeder Higgins-Santorelli-Kassian Booth-Matthias-Hansen
  14. If you watch the gif on the Calgary forum, you can see that Nino's shoulder hits the chin strap/earpiece of Burrows' helmet first. This lifts and slightly rotates Burrows' Helmet before his head even moves. There has to be contact with the head for the Helmet to start moving on it's own.
  15. Will update OP after practice when we hear what the lines are.
  16. How so? Minnesota is 3 points ahead of Phoenix with 1 game in hand.
  17. @King Alberts I get a kick out of your name being Alberts and your forum status is "Canucks Regular". Edit: The quote function has been rather hit and miss lately, anyone else having that issue?
  18. Lines could be different, we will know more after the game-day skate tomorrow.
  19. Just realized I only included first names for the Wild... Edit: fixed
  20. Both previous meetings required a shootout, with the Wild coming out on top on December 17th and February 28th. This is the third and final meeting between the two former division rivals this season. Preview: http://canucks.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/preview?id=2013021089 Henrik Sedin will not be making the road trip. Alex Burrows is with the team, but questionable for Wednesday night. Projected lineups: Daniel Sedin - Ryan Kesler - Nicklas Jensen Chris Higgins - Shawn Matthias - Jannik Hansen David Booth - Brad Richardson - Zack Kassian Tom Sestito - Zac Daple - Jordan Schroeder Dan Hamhuis - Jason Garrison Alexander Edler - Kevin Bieksa Ryan Stanton - Yannick Weber Eddie Lack Jacob Markstrom Zach Parise - Mikael Granlund - Jason Pominville Matt Moulson - Mikko Koivu - Charlie Coyle Dany Heatley - Erik haula - Nini Niederreiter Matt Cooke - Kyle Brodziak - Justin Fontaine Ryan Suter - Jared Spurgeon Nate Prosser - Jonas Brodin Jonathon Blum - Marco Scandella Darcy Kuemper Ilya Bryzgalov Just win...
  21. I'd say 70 is quite likely (for henrik at least) for the next two seasons. Point per game though, that's not going to happen.
  22. I realize our chances of making the post-season are very silm, but we will likely match up against the Blues in the 1st round and we are 3-0 against them this season. Just looking for something positive!
  23. Anyone else surprised Dale hasn't heard from the league about that slewfoot on Doughty?
  24. I would say yes. Top 6 doesn't mean consistently score 50+ points. Just looked at 2010-2011 and 11-12 and there were 90, and 95 forwards to score 50 or more points. That's 3 per team, not 6.
