  1. Sure. Saw it on HF (post # 225). There is some discussion that follows that statement also. http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showthread.php?t=1676277&page=9
  2. I think it is comparable to how Anaheim(Linholm) and Montreal(Galchenyuk) had those off years, and they drafted well.
  3. Interesting tidbits from the combine interviews today. Canucks chose not to interview Nylander or Ehlers....but they did have longerinterviews with virtanen and fleury...they also interviewed fabbri, Lemieux,demko. Saw this on HF. Not a solid source, but thought I'd share anyway. Could be a case of Benning wanting to trade down, or maybe a trade for the 10th is a possibility as well as keeping the 6th and JB knowing who he wants at that pick already. Or maybe it means none of those things at all .
  4. This might very well happen. Saw this on HF(don't have a solid source though). Hope they sit down with some picks closer to our range. Maybe this is who they are interested in if there is a Kelser deal for the 10th, or it could be to trade down maybe? Interesting tidbits from the combine interviews today.

  5. No not at all. Just thought I'd point it out. Probably means nothing. I guess in my mind the first players that would come to mind are Sedins, Kesler, Bieksa, Hammer, and then Burrows. Sometimes when questions are asked on the fly like that not everything gets mentioned I guess.
  6. I don't understand why people compare players that are the same size and determine that they will only be that good because they weigh that much or are as tall as another player. Players have different skill sets and attributes now matter what their size and weight. Joe Thorton and Tom Sestito are the same size should we compare them? Yes they are the same height and weight approx, but Joe is much more skilled and talented. Ehlers and Hagelin are the same height and weight, but you can easily see that Nikolaj has more skill and see's the ice better. Ehlers also has more room to grow biologically and skill wise. If you wanna compare skill and other attributes Ehlers is closer to a more feisty version of Gaborik that isn't afraid to go into the corners IMO.
  7. Just caught this on TSN. Good interview with Jim and TSN. I noticed how he didn't mention Kesler, or Edler as a part of the core. Looks like he wants to hire a coach that wants to play an up-tempo style, and wants to get bigger, but play a fast, skilled game also more like a Chicago brand. http://iphone.tsn.ca/tsnpodcasts/TD_...ning_May27.mp3

  9. It didn't offend me at all because I think you're a joke. I don't like starting fights, especially over the internet. I don't need to waste my time with people like you. I come here to have dicussions with other members in a diplomatic way. I've read Huberdeaus post and they have a lot more substance than your name calling attempts. Stop bashing players if you're going to come on here. Just b/c you don't like the player it doesn't mean that he isn't good, or is worthy of being bashed. Smarten up.
  10. You mad bro? Huberdeau just made a factual point. You resort to name calling when you're wrong? I think you're the little b#tch acting tough behind your computer.
  11. I'm very confident that Benning and co will draft the right guy for this team. He has a great draft record, and has a very good eye for talent.
  12. With Benning at the helm Im quite confident we will draft a stud.
  13. Smallish skilled guys like St. Loius score big goals. We could use guys like Ehlers, or Nylander on this team. They're not even that small actually being close to 6 feet. Once they fill out they'll be much stronger and harder on the puck.
  14. I'm pretty sure FLA will take Ekblad, or Reinhart so... I would trade and swing a deal with Buffalo. Maybe our 6th, Schroeder and Edler for 2nd overall, and Erhoff. IMO with Erhoffs departure it left a big hole in the back end no pun lol. We need a PMD and this team was better with him in the lineup. I would take Bennet over Reinhart. He's not as skilled maybe but he's got a lot of grit and drive to his game. Natural leader and good work ethic. This is who the Canucks need as a leader moving forward.
  15. If I was GM I'd go all in for Bennet,. This guy is the next Gilmour/Toews. I natural leader and everything I would want a Canuck to be. Not sure if JB, and TL feel the same, but what would it take to get this guy? Our 6th and.....
  16. Nylander is the next Giroux. I have a feeling Tallon will get his paws on him somehow.
  17. I posted this in another thread also. Not sure if you guys saw these highlights.. I've been on the Ehlers/Nylander train for this 6th pick leaning more towards Ehlers, but this Nylander kid is freaking sick. I would be estatic with either. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiPD0fWSRU8

  19. Don't feed into the trollism lol.
  20. Over payment. I'd rather have all of our guys in that trade over Malkin.
  21. You really believe in this guy. I think we should draft him also if he's available.
  22. Benning will choose either Nylander or Ehlers at 6th if one of the big 5 don't fall. Quote me on that. he wants to get skilled and faster. We already have some size, and some two-way guys. We need more speed and skill. Yes I heard Ritchie is also good, but I choose the first two I mentioned over big country.
