I'm saying There were those reports because the Canucks really don't have anyone else to trade if they want Drouin. Tampa would never do that deal. Pretty sure Tampa offered drouin for horvat plus and Benning told him to pound sand. Glad he did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no difference based on size it's purely player to player. Hopefully Jake is one of those guys that just takes a long time but it has nothing to do with his size. But a lot of those players develop in the minors so less is expected of them at first. Power forwards are often physically developed enough to play in the NHL so they're more visible and some people expect them to be that NHL player they want them to be sooner. In Virtanen's case, he's definitely ready physically, and the stats show he's doing well in other areas of the ice other than the scoresheet, but it's the offensive game that's left to catch up (and maybe mental development as well). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd even like to see Gaunce play with Horvat at some point with the message being, "you are a young player, enjoy the game, play 200ft, take some chances in their end" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I'm glad Horvat is still with canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you didn't hear doesn't mean it didn't happen! It wasn't BMac but it was someone from TSN. Maybe research a bit before you say something dumb.

There were people on here talking about it. I really doubt Alf and Deniro have real inside information. If anything it was the usual suspects (any windbag on radio?) speculating on what it would cost to land Drouin. 'Well I think the starting point would be Bo Horvat with the Canucks having to add o land Drouin." Who kmows if there was any concrete offer. JB could have called Stevie Y when Drouin was available and the call would sound like this,' Hey Steve, I heard that Drouin was available, what are you looking for in return?' 'Bo Horvat and your 5th OA.....Hey Jim are you there....?" 'Dial tone.' next thing you know rumours come out that the Canucks offered up Bo Horvat for Drouin. All quotes were were hypothetical and completely false. Any resemblance to actual events is purely unintentional and I do not want to be used as a source in the Trades and Rumours section!

guntrix Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Jake has been coasting a lot and has shown the occasional moment of brilliance with the Comets. Nothing too over the top. Mixed with their love for nightlife, I don't see how the comparisons with Kassian are unwarranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
