Derp...

Higgins or Burrows ???

Wasn't their a rurmor that MG was offered three pieces including Tatar, Sheahan, and something else before the NTC kicked in? That would have been decent return... nothing over the top good, but pretty decent for sure

One of the underrated aspects of Gaunce is his sandpaper like qualities. A lot of people rag on him not being as physical as he needs to be, but he's just not an initiator. In the preseason he got checked hard into the boards hard and got up with a fire lit under him and his physical compete level went up. The goalie trip is just another example of him playing with that I'm not going to take any BS attitude. He may not be the one starting it, but he certainly isn't going to be passive either and I think that will serve him well as a pro early in his career. When young guys get physically engaged they become better hockey players. I think that's also part of why Gaunce played so well in the playoffs last year. I expect him to be one of the best forwards in the playoffs this year as well

It's so funny that people are upset about Gaunce being smart. Would you rather have Dale Weise who can skate really fast all the time, or Gaunce who's going to be in the right place all the time???? Why is this even a thing with reporters. They must be bonkers.

Looks like Duchene with those Dekes! Going to be a stud.

Val N was either playing in the NHL or going back to Russia, Dallas took a big risk by giving him a spot as an 18 year old, and it's paying off early, but it could have ruined his development, as it does for other young prospects who play int he NHL, a lot of which are Russian. What happens if he has a big slump next year, is he going to demand a trade?, or be sent back to Russia to play?, or scratched? So many variables, and the sample size of his success is small, also he's playing with two of the best young players in the league, and aside from Colorado, almost no other team in the NHL could offer that spot to help his development. Realistically the stars aligned for him to be where he is today, that would not have happened in Vancouver especially under Torts. Also I would say that Shinkaruk's injury allowed his draft class to catch up to him. He was already a year ahead of where they were at the time of the draft. He will be as good as they are next year, maybe even better. Being quick to criticize is one of the problems with today. Very few have the patience to let things develop, the foresight required to make decisions as an NHL GM is beyond what most of us can comprehend as fans. Doesn't mean we can't have opinions, and doesn't mean that some of them won't be right. But making predications on very little data rarely yields precise results. For instance, how do we know Shinkaruk is behind? We haven't even seen him play healthy since the summer! How can we say the Shinkaruk who almost made the Canucks out of camp is behind? At that point he was nearly as NHL ready as Laughton, He will be ahead of him now, but in no way is Shinkaruk far behind his own draft class, at least until we can compare them next year at NHL training camps...

The article isn't saying that the deal would be a 1 for 1 just that it would include Frazen, for cap reasons I'm sure. I could see it being Frazen Tatar and a second or something similar. I would prefer Mantha and a first, but who on our side wouldn't.

Don't forget that an early first means an early second. Should be some solid picks available around then. Same goes for the third. I don't know much about Aaron Irving from the oil kings, but he has some good stats for someone B Mac projects outside top50. Brendan Lemieux, Alexis Vanier, Eric Cornel, Anton Karlsson, Scherbak or Goldobin could fall to us in the second too. We could add another 3 great picks this year. my top picks for us would be Bennett, Dal Colle, Perlini, Virtanen, Nylander

Classic Toronto Carolina matchup via CBC announcer's... Derping it up.

Last year -5, this year +22. Still plays against the opposing teams best players a lot. Erie is really good and that helps, but building confidence as a hockey player is as much or more important than building skill. You can have all the skill in the world, but if you don't have the confidence to make the right play at the right time then it goes to waste.

Classic Erie Colts vs Knights game. Love those three team match ups, makes for interesting hockey.

Ya 4 years from now, this team is going to be similar to Colorado if everything goes well. Hopefully we will also pick up a couple top 5 picks in that time and have a tremendously talented young team moving forward

OHL game summary has him with an assist on the EN... Wonder which one it is?

Apple!

Thanks for doing this again Looking forward to seeing the Canucks add some more talented youth! On another note. Anaheim has two 1st and 2nd round picks this year, and that's kinda scary.

I hope we get some really good young guys over the next three years. I want this club to be as good as the Av's are currently in three years.

Well if we don't improve from the bottom that we are at then we should trade everyone (except Lack), cause how can we get worse? Only way to go from the bottom is up and I feel like our players are at some career lows right now. It's going to get better, because it can't get much worse. I believe that.

Watch us beat Boston like 4-0 and everyone changes their tune after Burr and Daniel Break their slumps. Hard to watch any team put up a 0, but we are far from being exceptionally bad. Lot's of teams struggle to score at some point during the season. We really arn't that far away from being a good playoff team. Need to get healthy get some contributions from our first line and PP, and add a scorer. If we do that, I bet we are right there with any team over 7 games.

Sucks Richi is out, hope he gets better soon. Where will Henrik play?

Stoked for him to get an opportunity with us.

It's kesler. 100%

if he can make a good first pass or skate the puck out of our zone then it's a win for us

Let's leave the monkeys in the Edmonton dressing room. Burr and Daniel Streak busters tonight. Dalpe and Kass point streaks?

You got me!

Edler replacement?
