  1. The acquisitions of Goldobin/Dahlen/Lind/Pettersson/Gadjovich definitely have put many of those worries to rest. If we're in a position to draft a defenseman we want next year then that should be the priority. If not another forward drafted high in the first round wouldn't hurt. I am talking Horvat+ level. We will see though. We could end up lucking out and having one of our fwd prospects we don't expect to be an impact player to turn into something special. It ultimately depends on the circumstances we face this time next year and how our prospects develop.
  2. Damn the way he talks and acts is very Hank-like
  3. Nothing is a guarantee but he has good genes and skillset. He should up his confidence a ton and overall game in junior.
  4. He will have time to work on his offensive skill and round out his game. He is playing with good teammates which sets him on the path to becoming a complementary forward we need. The type of gritty forward that can play with skill and create space for them. But yeah physically he looks ready for pro.
  5. I see the sarcasm flew past me.
  6. No need to rush in a teen PWF. Been there done that.
  7. It looks like he suffers the same problem as Ekblad. Man-Childism
  8. I was high on Vilardi but I don't mind Pettersson. Dude has some serious skill and smarts.

      You can do very well up to $50 per bottle.  Of course, the art of it is getting bang for your buck.

       

      Wine is very personal, it depends on your taste.  New World v Old World, drier, fruitier, full bodied etc.  I could recommend a bunch of old world wine, mostly French but if you're into Australian or Californian or Chilean, you might not like it.

  10. Vilardi is a natural C. Only played wing last year other than that C growing up and when he started in WHL. Spitfires just had too much depth down middle.
  11. I have a muscle tear and a torn tendon in my shoulder. Forget which tendon it was, remember the doc saying it was the one that helps you with shoulder abduction movements. Can't gym for a little bit, right after my pulled back too. I guess ima do a $&!# ton of cardio and abs/legs. That's all I can do :L
  12. Hopefully he falls or, more of a pipedream, we get 3rd overall. Either way he is an enticing player.
  13. I work at a pub so I can eat anything on menu whenever I work.
  14. Short-sighted? It is a lot easier to argue that Fucale won't ever be as good as Price than it is to argue otherwise. Nope not at all whatsoever. Goalies as good as Price are not a dime a dozen. Goalies like Price are few and far between. When you combine base statistics and underlying numbers the only other goalie who comes even close to Price is Holtby who plays on a better team albeit is still a good goalie. MAF is a good goalie that so happens to play on the leagues best team. Still doesn't compare to Price. Pens and Caps would probably make the playoffs without their top goalies meanwhile the Canadiens will and have $&!# the bed if Price is out for any period of time. If he can't get a Matthews level player than he shouldn't be traded. You didn't fix anything. Price>Luongo Price>Schneider. Price is more valuable to the Habs than Luongo and Schneider ever were for the Canucks and the way the Canucks handled their goaltending situation with Luo and Schneider was complete crap. Also you should still smack yourself in the face, twice for good measure. To put it plainly the Habs are an average team and Price brings them up a couple levels. If Price was on a team like CHI or PIT then he would bring those teams up a couple levels despite them already being legit threats for the SC.
  15. Anyone who thinks the Habs should trade Price should lift there strong hand up and smack themselves in the face. Hopefully that will knock the sense back into you.
  16. Actually it very much is. Fucale isn't even close to making the NHL, he wasn't even in the AHL last season, and won't ever be as good as Price. If Price is being traded I am expecting a Matthews level of player. You'll only get Price with a serious overpayment that would hurt a team tremendously. A deal like that won't ever happen therefore he isn't going anywhere, especially with extension talks already starting to begin.

  18. They also need to sign these guys during FA. Nothing too expensive/long term though, top 9 help. I don't want Jake going into a shell again. If we have guys that can show him the ropes and handle most of the rough stuff it probably would make Jake more willing to get involved rather than being relied as the main guy to handle all of it, would be too much pressure IMO. Even a guy like Dorsett shouldn't be a main guy, he plays with heart but he is a big guy in a little body. Lebate falls into the same category as Jake but I see him more willing to take part of the rough stuff(ie. fighting/scrums). Cramarossa IMO is a future Dorsett-like player. Just bring in 1-2 guys with size and that bring a legit physical presence to the top 9 on a consistent basis on top of what we have now and we will be good. No need for the Megna, Skille and Chaput type players anymore. If we don't score we will make teams think twice about messing with our youth and they'll always leave Rogers Arena black and blue after a tilt with the Canucks.
  19. We lack both unfortunately. We have more potential young skilled guys(Goldobin, Dahlen, Boeser) than we do tough physical ones(Virtanen??? Lebate???) and we should be using a top 10 pick on skill almost everytime but we should be using some of our 2nds and 3rds to find these physical guys, especially at forward.
  20. Pettersson could probably do a bazillion pull ups at that weight. 6'1.75 and already plays against men. Would take time for him to garner strength. Mittelstadt must be lower body strong since he is a pretty good skater.
  21. Idk whats the flak on Pettersson. Really high skilll/IQ and is already playing against men.Dahlen is high on him as well.
