  1. Granlund is playing on Thursday with the Canucks against the Sens.
  2. So you say. Can you learn to accept the next Toronto Maple leafs?
  3. The plan is to probably bring him up to the main roster next year I assume.
  4. If you guys don't like the way this team is being built then go watch Dallas or Tampa like Gstank mentioned. Or learn to accept the type of team that's trying to be built. It is pointless to bicker and complain about something that cannot be changed or thwarted.
  5. What part don't you understand? Jets = better team built for Ehlers. Canucks = soft team that isn't suited. We needed size and we got that size with skill in Virtanen. It just take time for the type of player he is to develop. He won't be the type of player that makes flashy plays. We are not going to be a team full of that.
  6. Ehlers has NHL skill and will always be more skilled than Virtanen offensively. Virtanen needs to develop his NHL skillset. It takes time. That's fair to say no? Not many power forwards can come in like Landeskog and light up the league right away. What I can tell you is that he will still be a useful player when he's not scoring.
  7. Not saying he's soft but the team around him is better suited to have his skillset than ours. Jets size can create space for him to flourish. We don't have that quality yet Edit: Also it is Tyson &^@#ing Barrie.
  8. Both those teams are loaded with loaded with skill yes but both those teams have gotten walked over bigger teams in the playoffs. You gotta have a balance.
  9. If Kane is available take him. Lucic can be acquired in the 2nd round. Not saying we shouldn't have skill, their should be a balance, but Virtanen's skill set is hard to pass up and fits our mold. Sorry if you don't have the patience for him to develop.
  10. a Not our year this year. Injuries, inexperience and disappointing veterans are a cause for that. Why? I am talking hockey, I have nothing against you do you have something against me?
  11. We are too soft even today. Can't you guys realize that?
  12. He wouldn't be able to do that on our team.
  13. He would do worse on our team. We don't have the size to allow him to flourish. It is pretty simple to see. Not saying Ehlers is weak but he would do better vs St. Louis/LA/SJS/ANA/CHI on the jets than he would with us.
  14. It is like people want us to get walked over in the playoffs in the future.
  15. you aren't listening. Guntrix that's a response to you in the Virtanen thread.
  16. No it isn't. Tell me how Ehlers would of flourished on our team? he would get manhandled and nobody would be able to stop that. Where as on the Jets he has that size that gives him that space in order to flourish. We are too soft of a team to be solely skilled players.
  17. Ehlers would of done worse on our team. We are too soft. On the Jets he has the size that gives him space. We drafted that size in Virtanen. It isn't rocket science.
  18. You keep being a pessimist then. I will support the player because it seems some peeps won't and I find it unfair that Granlund receives negative criticism when he hasn't even suited up for one game, but that's just me.
  19. Prust and Higgins have been waived and our GM has tried to move them. Granlund will be around a lot longer than either of them.
  20. Well he is our property now. You will have to learn to accept that. Whether or not you like it Granlund is a Canuck.
  21. Good to know you support this guy. It is not easy coming to a new organization.
  22. Yeah I can't argue anymore. I will run out of posts and my brain is half asleep. I will admit that I will miss Shinkaruk but I want to see how this deal pans out before I judge Benning's trade. I am not the type to jump to conclusions on trades right away, I try to examine them and find the reasoning behind them. I am an optimist however and hope that Granlund does pan out. He has my support.
  23. All I ask is to give Granlund a chance. He is our property now. I can't stop anyone from hating this deal or trying to understand it they way I do. I think it is unfair to him to criticize him negatively prior to not even playing a single game for us. I need a nap.
  24. Man my spelling and awareness to posts is way off today.
  25. Peeps that can't see between the lines.
