messier's_elbow Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think Jake realizes to make the team next year he will have to play a solid 2-way game like Horvat. Seems like his 2way game is slowly improving which is nice. Wish he was in an org like the knights though. Imagine baking him in London for another year or two?

He doesn't have much choice in the matter. His coach won't play him in a primary offensive position so he HAS to play defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling he is going to be traded next year if he does the 9 games in the NHL. Imagine him on a team like the Giants. Him and Benson on one line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I don't see Sam Bennett being as great as everyone says he's going to be. I don't like the way he plays as a centre projected to be a top 6 forward. Nylander is more of a playmaker so I think it comes down to MDC JV and Perilini. Each to his own I guess. I think Bennett is going to be a stud and if Calgary lands another big centre to go behind Monahan, Bennett might be moved to the wing. I think he can play either position at the NHL level.

MoneypuckOverlord Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I have a feeling he is going to be traded next year if he does the 9 games in the NHL. Imagine him on a team like the Giants. Him and Benson on one line. to be honest, I don't have much hope in the 2014 draft. I personally think from Reinhart onwards to Dal cole, all of them will probably just end up being a second line player. There is probably no 1st line players in this draft, this draft is probably comparble to the 2004 draft, which is downright sad, maybe more depth, but no upper end players with exception of Ekblad. Virtannen is probably by far the safest player, even if he doesn't pan out offensively, i'm sure he will turn out ot be an exceptional hitting machine that can snipe it in. A player every team will wish they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger-Hearted Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Virtanen's shoulder or the rust of post surgery might still be bothering him. Probably explains his lack of production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messier's_elbow Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Interesting that Jake wasn't used in a shootout that went 5 shooters deep. Ya thats rather odd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if all the bad coaching decisions in edmonton(Oilers) are floating down to Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Virtanen needs to get out of there. It's a $&!# show and not good for his development 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 This might be a silly question, but is it possible for Benning and Linden to pressure the Hitman Management to trade Jake if they passionately are unhappy with the way he's being trained/developed/utilized by them? I honestly don;t know.. Thanks to whomever answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuktravella Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Since when is Dal Colle a cancer? I've heard nothing but the opposite in that regard. lets see he was cut from team canada for some reason, there has been chatter online about him having behavior problems in the past but nothing specifically is mentioned but i believe theres some truth to it when theres smoke theres fire plis he hates the canucks so hes in the bad book in my eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
