  2. Not sure. I just saw it on HF and posted it. I've never heard of them until now.
  3. http://www.puckrant.com/Rumours Kesler Deal close2014-06-21Benning wants it done now Jim Benning wants the Kesler drama to end before the draft so that he can focus on drafting and free agency and not the drama that will come with a "Summer of Kesler" scenario. Right now Detroit and Pittsburgh are the frontrunners. Deal gets done before Thursday
  4. I think everything is pretty much a done deal already with attaining the #1st OA unless another team comes out of no where and blows the socks off the panthers. I read that Tallon didn't interview the top 3 guys in the draft. Does that sound like he wants to keep that pick? Unless of course he's already decided that Ehlers/Nylander/ are #1 worthy.
  5. Some interesting tweets RD @BuckFoston_ · 4h Bob Murray: "We haven't had a solid 2C. No offence to Saku. I was not happy with our defense. Our goaltending was okay." #canucks #ducks RD @BuckFoston_ · 4h Getzlaf asked about Spezza or Kes playing behind him. Murray jumped in and pulled a Gilly: "can't talk about other players" #canucks #ducks Bob Murray: "Faceoffs are a major concern. Quite frankly we played Getzlaf a lot because of it" #canucks #ducks RD @BuckFoston_ · 4h Bob Murray: "we need somebody that can shoot the puck on PPs also" #canucks #ducks
  6. http://canucksarmy.com/2014/6/18/jake-virtanen-is-good-so-don-t-draft-him Good read. I would be extremely happy with either one of Ehlers, Nylander, or Reinhart,
  7. Would love to have either one of Ehlers, Nylander, or Reinhart.

  11. I just heard on the team 1040 that ANA is offering Etem, 10th, and 24th for Kesler and the 36th?! I think this would really help us with getting the 1st or 2nd overall I would trade Tanev, 10th, 24th for 1st and keep the 6th if possible We get Etem, 6th, 1st We lose Kesler, 10th, Tanev, 36th Not sure if FLA or BUFF would comply though. We might need to add another roster player to keep up with the other bidders. Not saying this trade would be totally even, but we would need to overpay in order to get what we want.
  12. Well if thats the case we should let them duke it out(EDM/TOR) and we try and make a deal for the 2nd overall. I wonder what Buffalo would want from us? What could we possibly offer them for the 2nd overall?
  13. Yes they do play the same position and are both high profile, but some might argue that Horvat is better defensively, and Reinhart the more offensive of the two.
  14. I'd rather trade Gaunce over Horvat 100%, but it all depends on what Tallon wants more.
  15. Good points Warhippy. Lets keep in mind though that with the recent trades regarding our youth that you've mentioned they were not for older, aging vets, but for players around the same age that fulfill the needs of this organization as well(Kassian/Hodgson, Schneider/Horvat). I'm not going to really go in depth about this whole topic more than what the article suggested, and argue that Horvat, and the 6th are better, or worse than the #1 overall pick, but in this case we are talking about a player in the same Echelon as Tavares, Mackinnon, Stamkos(point wise). We need an elite young star like that to take over the #1 center position for when Henrik goes on the decline. Who else do we have in the pipeline with that much potential, and when will we ever have the opportunity again to draft this high and get that chance? I also realize that Draisaitl, Bennet, and Ehlers are in and around that category, but realistically the only guy whom we really have a chance to get out of those three is Ehlers which i'm totally fine with also. The only thing with Ehlers though is he's not a center. Yes we would be trading our meager depth of youth as you suggested, although in return we are getting youth(the #1 pick) as well in a more concentrated form of awesomeness. Again you bring up good points about keeping Bo and drafting an Ehlers which might be the better bet. Only time will tell. In a perfect world having Bo, and Sam would be an incredible dream come true. Why does it have to be one or the other lol? If there is a deal out there I hope it doesn't have to include Horvat. Overall I just thought this article was an interesting read and wanted to share.
  16. Reinhart is in the same catagory as Mackinnion, Stamkos, Tavares in their draft year point wise. He isn't just hype. No one said he's going to be the next Crosby, but being in the same company as the others mentioned is pretty damn good.
  17. Also keep in mind that we may be getting a very good prospect, picks in a potential Kesler deal. I've heard Linden say he wants to build down the middle. Would it make everyone feel better if we landed Etem, or Couturier to fill in that 2nd line centerman void for the future. I would love to keep Horvat over each and everyone of our other prospects, but this is something to consider with the potential of having a possible ELITE 1st line center for the future.
  18. I don't think I'd do Horvat and the 6th for Reinhart either, but I might consider it. Throw in Kulikov and that make things more plausable IMO. Did you get a chance to read the article posted above??
  19. I really like Horvat and want both him and Reinhart somehow. I think they would complement each other perfectly and we'd be set down the middle for the next 15 years. Bo will become a fantastic player in the NHL, but Reinhart is a few levels above Horvat IMO. Reinhart has more points than Mackinnon, Stamkos, and 1 point less than Tavares in their draft years. Reinhart is going to be a very special player. Maybe elite. Kulikov has the tools to be a very good PMD also.
  20. If Horvat and Nylander, Hansen, looks better than Reinhart, Kulikov to you thats fine. Reinhart>>Horvat Nylander and Kulikov I can't really compare because they play different positions. All I can say is that Kulikov is a 23 year old PMD with upside that we need on this team, and he was drafted 14th overall in 2009. Hansen vs the highest 3rd round pick. Who knows. There's a good article that i'm going to post here that may or may not mean anything to you, but there are some good points there. http://canucksarmy.com/2014/6/10/who...s-sam-reinhart
