  1. You’re on glue bro.. what do you expect to give up for 26 year old, versatile 40-55 point wingers on cap friendly deals with term.. if we never try and improve our team we’ll never be good.
  2. 5 guys from 5 diffferent years in like a 8 year span, I tend to veer away from Russian players but thats a pretty cherry picked list. 2008-2013 2008 Kyle Beach 11th overall 2010 Brett Connollly 6th overall 2012 was a god awful draft for Canadian forwards in general 2013 Lazar, Shinkaruk ect
  3. a Bobby Brink and Brock Boeser connection on the wings has a nice ring to it

      I think he will be gone by 40 :(

  4. Big steal, was ranked top 5 most of season. The fact he has two years on contract is not a worry what so ever, we will need good young talent on ELCs when we are ready to contend. Character is definitely not an issue if JB was willing to pick him IN Vancouver. His game oozes Canadian play-style is absolutely relentless and plays 110% passion and wears his heart on his sleeve. This guy IS NOT a finesse, dangle you sniper type of Russian player, he's a puck hound, in your face, dump it in and beat everyone to the puck, sheer force of will, I want it more than you type of player, he reminds me of a Russian cross of a meaner Horvat X Virtanen. -Horvat Goes all in every night, competes for his teammates, very well rounded game, heavy on the boards. Complete 3 zone player, Good all around offensive tools but not elite in any aspect, stride needs work but can be corrected. -Virtanen Possesses elite physical attributes but the IQ isn't quite up to par, has elite north-south potential. Can go from the d-zone up the ice on an end-to-end rush in matter of seconds. Honestly Podkolzin is an a lot more refined version of Virtanen in their draft years, this is because Podzolkin is already been playing mainly against men in Russia's AHL, Podzolkin seems to be gritter than both Horvat and Virtanen in the sense he has the tenacity to get in your face and be more chippy than just playing a heavy game. He can throw big hits against men and isn't afraid to back it up his KHL rights are owned by SKA a powerhouse franchise that are notoriously hard to negotiate with, and are also known to not include young players in their squad as they can afford to buy players every year. 2021-2022 Big name FA/Trade - Petey (8-11M) - Podkolzin ( 900k) elc Or FA - Petey - Boeser FA/Virtanen - Horvat - Podkolzin
  5. Good value, Term and dollar are perfect looks like Eddie really does value being a Canuck and it should show people that it seems like Vancouver takes care of their guys pretty good.I like how it ends as Petey's ELC ends, Like other posters above have said, I believe this gives Benning room to move our D around a bit. Tanev/Hutton or both could be gone at draft.
  6. I actually like this move a lot, take advantage of Florida wanting Panarin, Package would probably be our second this year + our third or B prospect. Might seem low but it could only be for one year as he is UFA next year, is 29 years oldand will command big money, 70 points likely his career high, but alongside petey he is a 30-30 guy for 4-5 seasons Florida does this as its addition by subtraction, opens up the possibility of a Minnesota-esque FA day for Florida, as well as getting assets for a guy they wont be able to keep next year if they sign Bob/Panarin this year
  7. Shoulda gave Bo-Sang a chance...

  8. Brian Burke is the one who said that. Teams who rely to much on one trait lose in the first two rounds. You have to be balanced, speed & skill, Size & Grit, Special teams but most of important is the intangibles, the Bryan Bickells, Maxime Talbots, Fernando Pisanis of the playoffs are how you win cups, you need 1 guy to play way beyond his means and score some big goals.
  9. Rathbone isn't signed IIRC, committed to Harvard for likely 2 more years
  10. Can someone electronically inclined help me out? I live on the north coast so my internet speed is sub-par at best, recently have had the option to upgrade to a better service but i haven't noticed much results as my router is a 2-3 years old, can someone recommend a new setup for me?

      @logic Did you do any speed tests?

      Are you sharing internet with anyone?
      Do you have apps that you don't know that are in the background? (i.e. BitTorrent, Netflix etc)

      I highly doubt your router's age is an issue. 2-3 is nothing.

  11. Can anyone explain why our 50th season is celebrated as 19-20 but our inaugural season was 70-71?

      The lockout makes it funky. It's our 50th year in existence, but 49th season.

      Buffalo is celebrating their 50th as well.

  12. Third jersey is ugly af, might change opinion when seen in full gear
  13. Anyone order from hockey authentic? I see they have an adidas away for $199 wondering if the site is legit

      All good just wanted to suggest some other known places to you. The NHL store is authentic though.

      sorry I should have put that I'm looking for a Petey Authentic Away

  14. His progression has be undeniable although he started way behind where he should have. It’s not unrealistic for him to score 20+ next year If Jake is a consistent 15-20 goal guy who could potentially be one of those playoff guys then I’m happy with the pick.
  15. Lol if he was good enough to be a key cog on the team he would be, but he’s not even close. Gifting players icetime doesn’t make them better
  16. I wonder what the guy in your avatar would say about that? being around winning does wonders for your mentality
  17. A winning environment is just as crucial as enough ice time for developing, throwing kids into roles they’re not ready for means lost games = losing environment
  18. Lmao playing a kid every game of the year for his first pro season is a recipe for disaster
  19. ice time isn't just how you develop players
  20. You realize Roussel set a career high and would have smashed it barring injuries. He’s worth every dollar
