  1. I think Bart will get the Vey treatment as opposed to the Kassian. He'll have a longer leash and won't be punished as hard for mistakes. If Vey is given PP time, I'm sure Bart will receive some as well. And also, I'm sure he'll start out on the 3rd line at worst. He's just not the type of player to grind it out on the fourth line and work his way to the top. With the waiver situation, like Vey last year, there's not much else to do. And besides, we know Bart's problem has been with the mental side of the game and confidence. I don't think benching him will help.

  2. His acceleration needs work. I don't think it will hinder his ability to play in the NHL though. It's adequate.

    Gaunce- McCann- Cassels down the road as third line?

  3. Benning yes, he has to sell Virtanen as a great player ( which he is!)

    WILLIE im not sure. Virtanen doesnt bring defensive game like Horvat does. It will be interesting, but if benning wants Virtanen on the team, he'll tell Willie so

    Few prospects bring a defensive game like Horvat

  4. Umm no, that's not even a rumour you're making crap up.

    The oilers kept Leon because they didn't have any centers to start the season.

    When they realized they messed up they sent him back to junior. St. Albert was not in a playoff position so they traded Leon to kelowna for some valuable draft picks.

    pretty sure unknown is correct

  5. He's developed very nicely but he's projected to be a third liner. The fact that he's playing wing now is making him more expendable. I'm a huge Gaunce fan though so I'd like to see him stay, as I believe he'll be an incredible third liner, but at the end of the day, if he can be packaged for something better, why not

  6. Anyone think Gaunce should get the call up

    If Richardson is out for an extended period of time?

    Even though we've been winning, our 2nd and 3rd lines haven't looked good as of late

    they could probably do what they've done with Jensen, Bo-Sang, Corrado. He may not even have to play, but it'll be a good experience for him

  7. I'd like to see him sharpen and master some of his offensive tools first, i.e. getting open, knowing when to pass vs. when to shoot, etc. If he ever goes to Utica, you can bet defense and backchecking will be drilled into him.

  8. The whole sequence was a bad play.

    You may single out one player and say it was his fault, but I'm not going to.

    I think fans are focusing a little too closely on Virtanen.

    Only because we care about him the most

  9. I'd like to see him work on his floating when he doesn't have the puck. That's something that can be easily corrected. He also needs to work on getting open. He had an average game tonight. Wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. Had a couple good shots, some nice hits

  10. Benning has to be showing at least some concern that when stepping up a grade Virtanen hasn't shown much. The WJC when compared to WHL is faster. I assume Benning is attending the WJC and is wondering where the great shooters shots have disapeared to. I like his physicallity but that doesn't replace scoring.

    There is no concern. He's playing in a 19 year old's tournament and has been doing well. He'll be back next year and will play a bigger role. He'll be back next year a better player

  11. This guy needs to play better, has tons of potential and upside tho.

    With the exception of the game against USA, I thought he's been everything we've asked for. He obviously has flaws in his game, but nothing that's impossible to correct
