  1. That is if Juolevi does become a PMD. Defense is really hard to gauge in scouting unless you are Doughty or Ekblad and that's probably the reason why Jones dropped in his draft year. As least Tkachuck is apparently NHL ready and you already expect some elite scoring from him. Just bummed Canucks went from being 3rd last to dropping to the 5th overall to having a chance of drafting a player that was seen as someone that dropped but could have been the 3rd overall according to some scouts. To drafting a player that is probably 6 and 7 in most rankings. Isn't the #1 rule in drafting in the 1st round is to get the BPA?
  2. If Jordan Subban can make the leap in the NHL as a Torey Kurg like OFD how cool would it be to see a Tryamkin/Subban pairing nicknames anyone? "David and Goliath"?
  3. Except 10 to 15 pounds lighter
  4. Going to agree on you on most parts but people were saying a week ago Tkachuck would have been the 3rd overall and is NHL ready and in the playoffs it shows that he can score, something Vancouver needs (29th last year) as much as Defense.
  5. Vancouver had Tkachuk on a silver platter. I am so pissed right now.
  6. I am not a huge NBA fan and only watch occasionally since most of my friends are NBA fans. But I don't get the mockery Lebron James gets when he loses at the finals. If he goes 2-5 in the Finals that's still 7 finals appearance and two championships. I'd say that's a heck of a run. I mean the NHL's supposed "greatest player" today Sidney Crosby only had 3 finals appearance and 1 championship (any maybe another one). Heck even Mario Lemieux only had 2 finals appearances. And these players were generational players in Hockey. So not sure why people make fun of Lebron if he loses in the finals.
  7. NBA from where I'm from is boring people in my country watch and follow it a lot but they don't have any affinity for a team. Back then everyone had Lakers jerseys, and Heat jerseys, and now people are wearing Warriors merchandise. I always laugh inside that for a country where basketball is a religion and NBA has a following no one follows a team from thick and thin.
  8. McNally is a Canucks prospect drafted in 2010. He is an American that decided to take the college route in Harvard. It looked like Benning had a hard time signing him so he was traded at the last draft for a 2015 7th round pick. Note McNally was drafted in the 4th round. Apparently McNally is a big stud D-Man and is seen as a PMD. A prospect Vancouver could have used. I said the McNally situation because it's like trading Boeser's rights for a 4th round pick.
  9. I sure hope this doesn't turn to another Patrick McNally situation
  10. Carol - Elegant melodrama with some wonderful performances.
  11. Not saying I want 80 points from him if he can be that consistent 50 - 60 point physical presence then I'd be happy. I said 80 points for Ehlers because that's a his top end potential. Of course you, at least, want to Virtanen to meet his potential as much as possible as well. Personally I am crossing my fingers if Virtanen has a rookie season like Mark Stone *drools*.
  12. As a 6th overall I think that's what most expect from him. Don't get me wrong I like Torres if a 6th overall lands us a 3rd line, 30 pt per season guy that gets suspended too often then I'd be disappointed especially if the guys drafted after him turns out to be Top line player. I'd hate to be looking back and say we drafted a bottom 6 energy guy over an 80 pt per season Ehlers or a 1 line center Nylander. Hopefully that's not the case and Virtanen can be an effective power forward and goal scorer.
  13. at NHL 15 Gaunce is an 86 overall by the 2019/2020 season with 90 pts. The Franchise is in good hands
  14. As a 6th overall pick I'd be pissed especially if Nylander, Ehlers, or Ritchie end up Top 6 NHL players.
  15. Sounds like a Linus Omark
  16. TSN 1040 repeating the ISS feedback and ceiling is someone who won't make it to the NHL
  17. He probably wasn't. He is from Minnesota, he probably spent most of his life booo'ing the Canucks
  18. We are going to see a lot of memes and gifs like this everytime he scores
  19. What's wrong with Reinhart at least with him Canucks gets a 1st line center and a potential future franchise player.
  20. Daniel Bryan looks to be either booked in a match againts Sheamus or a the multi-man ladder match for the IC Title. Yep WWE, thanks for nothing. I know a lot of people said Bryan's road to WM last year was the plan all along. After seeing all what played out these past few months it's now obvious there was never an initial plan to put DB at the WM30 main event. Like I said I have never seen the WWE go againts the fans so much. But I guess when you have no other competition I guess you can probably do whatever you want.
  21. See that's the problem I have with the WWE. Reigns is unproven and hasn't done anything to indicate he's ready to carry the company yet they do this to give him the torch to carry the company? I can make many analogies but since this is The Canucks forum that would be like putting Bo Horvat in the main roster this season and making him the #1 Center and team captain.
  22. If I recall Chris Jericho actually choked out Goldberg in a backstage fight. So if in reality a guy can beat someone twice his size why can't Bryan beat Lesnar? Is it because of Lesnar's MMA background? If we are using that logic than NO ONE in the WWE has a legit shot in beating Lesnar. In the end WWE Screwed up big time with The Rumble. Reigns is simply not ready to main event Wresltmemania and hasn't done anything to earn it either. Sometime I think the WWE is hypocritical they keep talking about this "IT" factor or people earning their spots. Yet Daniel Bryan is the most over guy in the roster and if that doesn't signify the "IT" factor then I don't know what does. Yet you have Reigns who is average in the ring, below average in the mic, and doesn't even get a fraction of the reaction Daniel Bryan gets yet he has "IT"? Anyways the rumored match up for Bryan is Sheamus and the main event is Lesnar vs. Reigns? So yeah I am boycotting WM31, unless things take a drastic change for the better.
  23. Or how about Jordan Schroeder, that multi-point night against the Flames many thought they found the team's 2nd line center (Kesler was injured that time).
  24. Vrbata had a pretty good list of suitors during FA. He may be second teir but there were other teams interested in him.
  25. You know how does that work out in the future? Doesn't Bieksa and Kesler have the same agent? I heard there were late night shouting contests between Benning and Kesler's Agent.
