How can you be so sure of this? Are you psychic? Of course there will never be another Bure, but Ehlers could be something special in his own right. I'm not saying that he'll be as good or like Bure, but you're just as guilty with your presumptions of him being the next Filatov. You shake your head at others for saying something, but meanwhile you're doing the same thing by comparing him to another player.

Absolutely..

Ok lol, Thanks for posting it then.

Imagine having Ehlers and Shinkaruk on the LW for the next 10-15 years terrorizing the opposition with speed and skill shift after shift?? It's like both of them are on the ice for the whole game because if you try to stop one of them the other one is waiting right behind to make it a nightmare for the oppositions defence and goaltending. Also to boot we would have Kassian, and Jensen on the RW doing the same thing
-
If we take Ehlers and manage to get another top 10 pick (Anaheim/Carolina trade) then we can take a big dude like Tuch, or even Mccann to balance it out. Ehlers will be a star with the right development. Also a great nickname for him could be "the electric eel" lol..
-
I really hope one of the big five drop to us and if not we better be taking Ehlers. This kid has superstar written all over him. Just one question to all the doubters. Why couldn't he be put in the same sentence as Drouin in terms of all round ability and skill? Also Weren't many suggesting that Drouin was a product of Mackinnion's success last year? If he's available when the top five aren't and we skip him we will regret it. I like Ritche and Nylander also, but Ehlers has something more electric about the way he plays. Almost like a Bure/Kane/Datsyuk. A lot of us are skeptical because of his size. This is why you keep him in the CHL, and AHL as long as possible to gain size and strength and develop him properly. We don't need to throw him to the dogs the way Edmonton does and ruin his max potential.

of players being drafted and a good quality of coaches that have been able to reach the NHL level, which has been great." Thanks for taking the time to write this.

Is Draisatl in this tourney?
-
How would some of you compare Ritche to Nikushcun? Who is the better prospect. And also can Virtanen compare to a Benn type player? I really hope we get Draisaitl. edit: fixed it
-
Can I come too? Im not sold on this guy at all. 3rd liner material at NHL level.

Dregers' an idiot.

I'd sign him to 4 years 2.8 million per. In two years that deal would be a steal for the Canucks. He will be put in more favorable stiuations next year such as more offensive zone starts, PP, better linemates etc.. If he's producing at this pace with the situations he's put in now imagine if he had all of those other opportunities. He will be a star. Very proud to say that I always had confidence in this kid, and believed in him. I bought his jersey right after the first time they played Buffalo 2 seasons ago. He will also be a strong leader once he matures into a 27 year old beast..

Decent game for Zack. Nice goal.
-
When Kassian gets signed to a reasonable contract this year he will be given more opportunities because he's here to stay for at least a few years. I believe he will have his breakout year next year when he's put in more favourable situations. Just look at the stats that oldnews provides for us. He's one of the best posters on here IMO. Factual information instead of silly fantasies and emotional hatred that some of you have for our players...
-
Yes we do, but in the end this mostly comes down to business, managing assets, making money, and saving money for Aquaman. It's not hard to see how involved the owner is with this organization, and why wouldn't he be?
-
IMO Kassian is a stud in the making. I supported the trade from day one and it looks like Kass is starting to put it all together which is pretty scary. He needs to work on a few things but he's almost like a complete player that can offer so much to a hockey team. I also believe that putting Kass on the first line ATM will lead him away from focusing on his defensive game. This organization is smart not letting him play with the sedins until he gets resigned to a reasonable contract. In the mean time he's working on his defensive game.. If he was put on the first line and the 1 pp he would be racking in points and MG would have to sign him to a larger contract money wise. He can play on that line. Look at what Jensen is doing cuz he's surrounded by way better players on his line. Some people forget that Kass scored 5g in 7 games last season when he was put on a line with the sedins. Notice how quickly he was demoted and slapped on the fourth line. Put Jensen with booth and Richardson and see how well he does. Jensen was put on the top line to boost his confidence. MG is just trying to increase his asset value in Jensen and mold him into more of what he wants him to become(a future sniper). MG and crew are smarter than most of us on here. They know what they need to do in order to keep players here for lesser money also....

I have thought about a three way deal between Van, Nashville, and Pitts. Let me know what you guys think.. To Van: Weber To Pitts: Kesler To Nash: Sutter Poliout Pitts 1st Van 1st We get our #1 stud dman, Pitts get kes, and Nash gets a pretty good package IMO. We can sign a UFA centerman this summer, or if elder is still on the table trade him for Shen, or Skinner. Our line up could look like this next year. Daniel Henrik Kassian Burrows UFA/Skinner/Shen Jensen Higgins Matthias Santo Sestito Richie Hansen Hammer Weber Garrison tanev Stanton bieksa Lack Markstrom I like our line up like this if we can get that second line centre. Edler should be gone and used as a trading chip to get one. Heck I'd even trade elder and Schroeder in a package to get one..
-
I would love to get Draisaitl. This guy is the next Kopitar mark my words. For our second choice I'd really like Virtanen or Ehlers. I have a strange feeling Perlini, and Ritche will bust.

Too many injuries this year Give Torts another year at least. Fire Gillis tomorrow. He is not fit for GM anymore. Keep him as president maybe, but remove him from his GM duties. Or just get rid of him completely. How can you throw a rookie goalie into the fire like that and make him a starter right away. He may have ruined a future starting goalie with a lot of potential by doing this. If you're going to trade LU get a back-up that has some NHL experience you idiot..
