  1. I just rifled through a few highlight videos on youtube. It made me realize (or actually 'remember') how gifted Jake actually is. His skating, power, and shot are really a step above most of the Comets roster. We were naive to think he was ready for the NHL mentally, but physically he is. I really believe it's just his confidence and maturity that needs to catch up with him, and that'll take time. When the time does come (this season, or the next) I think he'll show everyone some brilliance and carve out a nice career in Van.
  2. 6.25mil wouldn't be bad if we locked him up long-term (5years) I would still prefer a bridge deal @5 mil for 3 years though...
  3. I'll be living in Finland for 4 months starting in the Fall. Will update and confirm their strangeness level.
  4. I thought I was a smart kid...then I tuned in to the Scripp's Spelling Bee #nope

  5. apply yourself to supply your wealth

  6. Open request for a Tryamkin highlight package.... I need something to put a smile on my face during exam season
  7. If Virtanen pans out, I'll be ecstatic. If he turns into a wrecking-ball type player like Ferland I'll be ecstatic as well.... He has a skill set that doesn't come along too often.
  8. Can someone explain what happens if NJ loses today and we get a OT/SO point.

      @Gyllenhaal the tie-breaker isn't wins, it's ROW (Regulation/Overtime Wins)

  9. I couldn't hear Brock's response but I felt emotional anyways. now I love that clip even more:)
  10. If we can't draft Patrick or Hischier, I hope we take Mittelstadt. His offensive ceiling is extremely high and he's a Minnesota native, like Brock.
  11. Casey Mittelstadt grew up 20 minutes away from Boeser, I hope we can somehow snag him in June Also great game by Brock! what a debut!!
  12. Feeling so smug right now
  13. Can we please call him Goldy... Goblin seems forced to me
  14. After Forsberg was drafted (and traded) he spent one season primarily playing in Allsvenskan, and another season playing in the AHL with a few call ups. He broke out in the league in his draft+3 year. Which means Dahlen (if compared to Forsberg) should come to North America next year and play in Utica... And is scheduled to become a 60+ point player in 2018-19 =D
  15. Yea 53 and 54 would look nice together
  16. I think it would be a nice little story if Torts' 2nd got us Jost XD
  17. This made me miss Mikael, but good for Bo. Maybe trading for him will avenge the Neely trade as well..
  18. I agree. There's no one labelled generational in this draft like McDavid. But I do think that a guy like Patrick would complement the kind of team we're building here. In Patrick, I see a lot of Bo Horvat (big, skilled centreman with a high hockey IQ) and the combination of those two down the middle could be amazing. I sure hope we can draft Patrick, but I'd be ecstatic with a top 3 pick as you mentioned. Just think about it though, how many teams in the league would have two centremen standing 6'2 220lbs & 6'3 220lbs who are both capable of winning draws, killing penalties, throwing checks, and putting up major points! I can't think of any off the top of my head
  19. I've decided who my fave prospect outside of the NHL is .... Andrei Svechnikov XD (2018 Draft) Let's bring some Russian flare back into Vancity!! Also as a RW who shoots L, we could either pray and draft a slick Centre in this draft or stockpile defencemen (Liljegren + Valimaki look solid). Either way, the team would shape up nicely with very prolific talent
  20. I mean Kimmo Timonen carved out a pretty nice career...and the Fin's have been developing some of the better NHL prospects in the last couple years at all positions (look into this draft more) You can't judge a player by his country alone man. Kopitar, Ehlers, and Hischier are great examples of that But you're right.... MT has 1337 skill. Much dangles. Very sauce.
  21. One step closer to a top 3 pick after tonight's L ...Good new considering it's a total crapshoot after Liljegren and Hischier are off the board As much as I like Pettersson and the Finnish defencemen in this draft, we really need bonafide superstar, and I don't see that happening unless we continue to fall (Not a Tippett, nor a Vilardi fan)
  22. Hits and points aren't interchangeable, but I think you're jumping to the conclusion Virt will put up fourth line numbers here... If Virt can find confidence and put up >40pts a season he'll be worth it
  23. How is OJ a disappointment? He's captaining a country at the WJC. Not his fault the goalie is a siv and the young offense can't find chemistry. Also, Virtanen is worth the investment. Ehlers and Nylander can put up all the points in the world, but if Virtanen catches them with their head down it's game over.
  24. How do you guys think Bo/Boeser/Patrick would stack up against other teams top 3 forwards?
