      that's what you want to trade, but what would edmonton want.? they would probably want horvat to start the package.

      It's a joke people. I even put it in the post. You really think Edmonton would trade Draisaitle?

      They traded Gretzky so...you never know.

  2. With the 5th pick overall in the 2017 NHL entry draft, the Vancouver Canucks select from the Swedish Hockey League, Defenseman Timothy Liljegren.

      I wonder how Juolevi would feel.

      Im actually hoping we get Liljegrin, I feel he's been over scouted like Chychrun last year. A d pairing of Juolevi-Liljegrin would be epic in the future. My hopes are that Tanev is traded for a mid to high first and we take Liljegrin with it and Vilardi/Mits with ours/

      I thought the album was terrible by Kendrick's standards lol

       

      DNA was hot though.

  4. An Andrew Ladd comparison is much closer than a Bertuzzi. Took Ladd 4 years to become an NHL players after being drafted. I can see Virtanen doing the same.
  5. Did you know the Leafs clinched a playoff spot? I didn't know until I went on Facebook and there were about 10 posts from TSN about it. I personally don't think that's enough. There needs to be at least 15 by the end of the night.

      Ugh, we may have to kick Ontario out of Canada if the Caps $&!# the bed and allow the Leafs into the 2nd round. 

  6. Ryan Nugent Hopkins value is at an all time low. I still think he can be a 60+ pt centerman in the NHL. We got a lot of good shooters on the team but we don't really have a playmaker. Nuge could fill that void and i don't think he will cost a lot. What do y'all think

      A small part of it is his being an Oiler from a crap Oiler era, but other than that I can't explain why I've just never been a fan of his. 

       

      He's got some talent though that's for sure.

    3. MayRayDown

      MayRayDown

      in the summer of 2018 when the Sedins' contract is up we'll have

       

      Horvat (23)

      Sutter (29)

      Cassels/Gaunce/Granlund

      Cassels/Gaunce (If they pan out) or we''ll find ufa to replace those bottom centres.

       

      Unless Edmonton wants Sutter to be their 3rd line centre or we want a 4.7m 3rd line centre I don't see a fit unless we move Sutter to wing. I think we have much bigger holes on the wings

    4. RRypien37

      RRypien37

      Cassels? The dude might be in the ECHL at the start of next year...

  7. Biega kind of reminds me of Torres on the 4th line. The guy just hits everything and he's fast too. 

    1. Roger Neilsons Towel

      Roger Neilsons Towel

      Yeah, I'm really liking him as a fourth line grinder. Love what he brings. 

    2. Alflives

      Alflives

      If he could learn to throw 'em, he could carve out a little career for himself. 

    3. Quantum

      Quantum

      Yeah, Biega's basically trying to prove to Canucks management that he'll be worth keeping around on the roster next season. And frankly, I think it's working. If he's an extra player who can play defense and slot in as a 4th line checking forward from time to time -- that's a huge win. We're likely losing one of Sbisa or Dorsett at the Expansion, so there will be an opening for him.

  8. Prospect/young players lineup

     

    Dahlen-___________-Boeser

    Baertschi-Horvat-Goldobin

    Granlund-Gaudette-Virtanen

    Boucher-Gaunce-__________

     

    Juolevi-___________

    Tryamkin-Stecher

    Hutton-Gudbranson 

     

    Demko

    Garteig

     

    I think Tryamkin can be our 1D tbh. He's such a mobile skater for a big guy. Huge guy and has been creating offense lately. He looks like Chara out there. I think we need one more good defense prospect and we are all set on the back end. 

     

    We just need a 1C now. Another Horvat and we will be in great shape to becoming contenders again.

     

    1. J-23

      J-23

      I like the line up you have there, but i think Horvat is a good number 1 center! My lineup would look like this:

       

      Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser

      Dahlen -                    - Virtanen

      Granlund - Gaudette - Goldobin

      Cramarossa - Gaunce - Labate

       

      Juolevi-___________

      Tryamkin-Stecher

      Hutton-Gudbranson 

       

      Demko

      Garteig

       

       

    2. JustABandwagoner

      JustABandwagoner

      tbh I would pick Virtanen in 3rd or 4th line plug role

       

      I have a feeling Lockwood may surprise and end up being a solid 3rd liner

  9. Has Hansen played a game for the Sharks yet?

      Trump is more strict I think I'm giving out Visas to foreign workers.

    4. Nuxfanabroad

      It's circuitous..they want him to migrate from Syria...

  10. Looks like JB is planning on drafting Petterson then
  11. If Tryamkin continues to show flashes of brilliance and becomes more consistent by seasons end would you risk trading Olli Juolevi + for Matt Duchene? 

     

    I think Tryamkin is going to be a dominant player in a couple years. Maybe not as offensive as Chara but the same type of player. 

     

    Duchene would put us right back into playoff contention and give us a 1c after Henrik retires. We could essentially avoid the rebuild and get right back to it. 

    1. canuktravella

      canuktravella

      not a chance in hell  why would u trade a blue chip d prospect on a entry level contract for a overrated center making 6-7 mill a yr on one of the worst teams in the nhl thats not asset management  youd maybe trade hansen and Tanev for him not  a rookie 

    2. canuktravella

      canuktravella

       tryamkin usually plays on right side  juolevi plays on left  why woukd we trade either of them 

  12. Can't Juolevi go to the AHL next season?
  13. Look at Andrew Ladd's development. He didn't start doing well until 5 years after his draft year. Players take different routes to develop. Just got to be patient with Jake and hope for the best. I see Jake as a Dustin Brown lite 20-30G scorer. Or at least a Raffi Torres type bottom 6 player
  14. Here's hoping we manage more than 13 shots against the flamers today. And hold them to under 40 shots against. 

     

    We have been getting outshot every game. This is not sustainable, can't rely on excellent goaltending all the time. Willie needs to give his head a shake. How long is he going to have Megna with the Sedins? That has probably been one of our worst lines. Take Megna out and give Bouchard and Rodin a chance. 

    1. yoshiyoshi

      yoshiyoshi

      i dont care how many shots we get so long as we get more goals than them

  15. Dubois was bad all tournament. Chabot was the MVP. Barzal was probably our best forward. McAvoy is skills. 

     

    Overall great game. One of the most exciting games I've seen. Can't wait till the world juniors come to Van.

      Still would live to have had dubois with our 5th pick, in CDC tho prospects are judged 2-3 months after their draft. Most people on CDC love to call prospects busts after having a poor showing in a small stretch of games (@/King Heffy)

      i wouldn't want to be the guy who didn't bury that open net one timer

      Tearloch7

      Bean and Roy were my biggest disappointments ..

  16. I can see Jake turning out to be a Chris Kreider or Dustin Brown type. I don't see him as a premier power forward anymore. Maybe just a 20G scorer that can hit like a truck
  17. Both left handed shots I think
  18. Guess Hockey's Future just doesn't update their website anymore?

      I'm pretty sure they shutdown earlier this year.

    3. Toews

      Toews

      You are correct, they have stopped updating the website, likely due to lack of viewership. The forum though still is a gold mine of information, be warned though there are a significant amount of trolls as well. Take the good with the bad.

       

      If you are specifically interested in teams' depth charts, each team's sub forum does a prospect ranking in the offseason, just do a search in that team's sub forum for "Prospect Rankings" and you should find out where the fan base ranks each prospect. HF can be guilty of a group think mentality but its not as bad once you get used to it.

      That's too bad that it shut down. Oh well. And yeah I will check out their forums thanks

      Much cleaner game than last week. Offense and special teams looked more in sync and the defence did its thing again.

      That was dominant.  Hopefully the return guy isn't too banged up.

      Wally's back baby!

  20. Jim should offer sheet Seth Jones a lot of money so CBJ can't sign him. Or Jacob Trouba. 

     

    Olli Juolevi-Seth Jones

    Or

    Olli JuoleviJuolevi-Jacob Trouba

     

    Those would be the best pairing in the NHL

      @Chip Kelly Nope. NTC do NOT have to be protected. Only NMC, with one caveat -- NMC's which expire the year of the draft do not need to be protected.

      Very interesting. I'm sure there are still some grey areas before the full rules become clarified.

      Jarmo's made some dumb moves, imo, as of late. I wonder how he'd react.

  21. Ronning went to NYR. Rather have him than Lockhart. Similar players but put up better points. Smh with this draft. I'm sorry for being a negative Nancy

      Nuxfanabroad

      Sounds like full-circle. Back in the 80's, they had little meaningful content, as I recall.

       

      Over the past 30 yrs, the importance/$ of televised sport has grown exponentially. Bigwig-stations had to buck-up. Those who can't shell out, get left in the dust.

      what they also do is put golf on ten 1 and the game on 3, 4, 5 which have to pay extra to get
