    Really, manyNorris winners aren't 1st rounders anyway.  I think Schneider is going to be an excellent dman, but he's not at that level, imo.  I don't think he has the offensive upside needed to be considered a potential Norris candidate.

    You stating most norris winners aren’t first rd picks only proves my point though.... it’s pretty hard to predict who’s going to become that calibre of defenceman. Not saying he’s a shoe in or anything but he’s got as much a shot as anyone else imo

    If the Rangers or any other team want Miller they need to offer up their best RD prospect. If they don’t want to then they can consider Boeser or Garland. You don’t get a top line player for your 2nd tier prospects even if you package a few of them together (quality is greater than quantity) end of story.

    This exactly. Either give up schneider or miss out on miller is how I see it. There should be at least one piece coming back who is a bonafide blue chip can’t miss prospect/player in any deal for miller. This team desperately needs a young stud defence man who has norris potential.

    I’m sure that Drury and his staff is thinking, they offer their initial offer as low as possible to see if Van management is dumb enough to bite (cause, well, Benning might have). I don’t think their initial offer is their final offer. Lots of time to negotiate too. JR talking to the media, he’s playing the media and the game the right way, unlike Benning. 

     

    Oh for sure drury is playing hardball right now and that might change. I’m fairly confident Rutherford will be smarter than benning was when it comes to these types of negotiations.

    Both gudbranson and schenn are prime examples of players who came along at the wrong time. Put either player in the league during the 90’s or early 2000’s when physicality was still a huge part of the game and they would have been top 4 d for their whole careers. I definitely have a soft spot for the throwback old school style defencemen who stick up for their teammates, love seeing the schenndozer playing so well as of late.

    It was funny after the fight when MacEwan threw his arms up like the crowd was cheering for him.

     

    Seemed like he thought he still played for the Canucks for a second.
     

    Also he lost that fight big time so I’m not sure what he was celebrating 

    He was just trying to rile his own team up. He was looking directly at the philly bench when he was waving his arms around.

    I always like to see canadian players doing well throughout the league but when it comes to teams it’s only canucks, I did however cheer pretty hard for the blues last year but they were stacked with good canadian kids and I &^@#ing hate the bruins.

    Why the Jake Hate????

    If you listen to this J.D. Burke interview, he explains that the underlying numbers still seem to indicate that it is more likely that this current production is noise rather than indicative of a sustained higher trajectory.

    There certainly isn't enough of a sample to indicate he is a legit 20 goal scorer.  He has had a good few weeks after a poor training camp, October and November.

    The real worry is that he hits 20 goals this year and his arbitration number gets ugly... and then he reverts back to the mean.  You could be looking at an arbitration award that starts with a three or four, and that is a worrying number.  The team will have a really difficult decision deciding on whether he is a player they want to spend that money on or whether a return from a trade could be worth more.

    Jd burke? Lol might as well ask my 9 year old neice what she thinks about virtanen

    I would love to see them bring back the schenndozer for that added toughness. I was stoked when benning signed benn but he’s been a disappointment so far Imo, seems like a bit of a fake tough guy with all the tattoos and big beard and yet not any memorable hits or scraps yet. I still think we need a physical deterrent sometimes and schenn was awesome in that role last year.
