darkpoet Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 First draft you've ever watched? Welcome to 2012. Every player gets a jersey with their draft year. Meaning 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allkill326 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Maybe he's good at faceoffs, so he can provide another awesome goal-scoring line, along with Schroeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown33429 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Mike Richards and Jordan Staal are slow as slugs but they're still pretty good. The centre position is actually the only position where speed isn't a necessity. Centres don't forecheck so they are not required to gain the zone quickly.

Phamda Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Can't get a sniper allstar know a days unless you have a terrible team. Edmonton will have a good team in 2-3 years cause they sucked for so long and got great talent through high draft picks. I can wait awhile longer before we get the first pick in the draft.

darkpoet Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Maybe as a bit of a tribute to the guy that wore number 12 and has been with the organization since he was drafted. Perhaps because it is the first time a retired number has ever been given out by the Canucks at a draft. Your panties seem to be wound way to tight.

Phamda Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Good point, but centres have to be the most responsible defensively for the most part. Kesler, and Hossa (I know he's not a centre) get Selke buzz because they can get back quickly to the defensive zone. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcroams Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 We won't be drafting first any time soon, so don't hold your breath. As for the Oilers, all those young guys will get VERY expensive soon. They better hurry up or they'll be the Hawks without the success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuxFan09 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 The only problem is we don't really have any sniper or pure skill guys in the farm. Kassian, Jensen and Gaunce are great, but to me they're all power forward type players. Where are our future playmakers and snipers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradinToSmyl Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I just have a gut feeling that samuelson will be the better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknown33429 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Sedin is pretty slow as well and he is defensively responsible. Centres are smart enough to not put themselves in vulnerable positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectacular Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hope we can trade up for a high 2nd round pick. Really want Samuelsson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I'd say, as far as high end centres go, Henrik is pretty poor defensively. Bolland always puts up pretty good numbers against us, and he's almost always on the ice with #33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
