MoneypuckOverlord Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 But did they We just don't know about this stuff. It's not worth covering anyways because it's not a job interview and unlikely it will,change a gms mind about a player anyways. Unlikely lets say Jared McCann had a linden like professional attitude. I still doubt Florida or Vancouver will determine their pick base on an interview, when it's the players ability that matters most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Honestly I have a feeling that Kesler is going to be dealt to Anaheim. I mean with the Kesler trade rumors resurfacing and the fact that Virtanen and Fleury got longer interviews really makes it sound like it might actually happen. Plus, I do recall Linden talking about how they have a player in mind for the 6th pick so it makes sense for them to interview prospects they are not as sure about for their 10t selection. It will be a terrible move dealing him to anahiem and I don't believe it will happen. The long interviews is because during lindens first week on the job, asked about the draft, he said that that he would like to possibility draft a dman, (fleury being a good possibility, and the second best dman,) with the 6th pick that's an option, he also had some good things to say about virtannen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Anyone see Sonny Milano's sick stick trick video? The kid has some serious skill. Strange he's not talked about often here. He's perhaps overshadowed by Eichel, but he's definitely legit in his own right. He scored as many points as Eichel in the U18. Tuch is ranked higher, but mainly because of his pure size advantage. Either would be a solid, solid pick. (Esp. when we end up with Eichel next year.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 They have Ritchie's weight on the combine site. http://www.topendsports.com/sport/icehockey/nhl-combine-results-2014.htm NICHOLAS RITCHIE PETERBOROUGH OHL LW 6' 2.25" 226 God he's so perfect.

baumerman77 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Sounds good to me. So you think Fabbri who was OHL mvp will go past 15th? Yes. I think there is a much better chance of him going after 15th than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merci Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Actually if that is Ritchie's height and weight he needs to lose at least 10 pounds. Nope down 10 up 10 and he's right at 226 the perfect weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Actually if that is Ritchie's height and weight he needs to lose at least 10 pounds. That's what everyone was saying when listed at 235. Reports had come in all year that he had shed a lot of weight during the season already compared to last season. 225 is about where he should be. That is an encouraging measurement. It'll be interesting to see where he falls on the % body fat and push tests. That may dispel most of the accusations that he is fat or out of shape.

saucypass Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 The long interviews with Virt and Fleury would seem to speak to that option. I would like them to look at Perlini , Tuch and Milano if Virt is gone by #10 If it were up to me I'd take a combo of either Ehlers/Nylander/Fabbri and Tuch/Ritchie/Virtanen with any of the two picks. Wouldn't mind if we used one on Kapanen or Fleury assuming that they're still available. Speaking of which, what happened to Kapanen? I don't hear people talking about him anymore? Honestly, I can see Toronto picking up Perlini if we're not using the 6th pick on him and I doubt that he's worth the 6th pick IMO. It will be a terrible move dealing him to anahiem and I don't believe it will happen. The long interviews is because during lindens first week on the job, asked about the draft, he said that that he would like to possibility draft a dman, (fleury being a good possibility, and the second best dman,) with the 6th pick that's an option, he also had some good things to say about virtannen Why would it be a bad deal? Unless our core players can rebound from this season + we acquire a legit top six forward or a PMD with insane chemistry with the twins, I highly doubt we'll be legit contenders next year. I'd vote for a rebuild if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those test will really help to figure out where his weight should be. I just think 225 for a 6' 2.25" 18 year old is a little high. But that being said, I can't wait for the test results.

theminister Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Etem is a pipe dream IMHO. Vatanen suits our needs better and will be easier for Anaheim to give up. Vatanen, 10th, 2015 1st. Even so, I'd prefer, if we need to deal Kesler, a trade happens yo the other conference and definitely not in our division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingo Chili Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Too many indecision on who to take with #6..Just get more picks . Tanev/Garrison + 6th overall to Florida for 1st overall Acquire #7 pick from carolina Send kesler to anaheim for 10th ++ canucks draft: 1st - ekblad 7th - nylander/ritchie 10th - virtanen/fleury rebuild/retool just got quicker.
