A couple of things here. 1) The AHL feed is terrible. 2) Hoping that this would skyrocket Jake's confidence offensively with the puck. Fantastic shots! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake will not be able to replicate Nylander production in the NHL. QUote me on that. 100% IMPOSSIBLE Not a good pick considering he was 6th OVERALL. If Jake was picked 24th overall i'd be aight.

There is no guarantee that they would've produced those numbers if they were on the Canucks. If they played on this team they would've got the same minutes and treatment as Jake. They would've played low minutes on the 4th line. We need to get over not drafting any of those players. I'm happy we drafted Virtanen, this team needs some toughness. Fan base needs to stop crying over not drafting Ehlers, Nylander, Tkachuk and praising these players and trash talking players like Juolevi and Virtanen in every possible way they can. Nylander plays with Matthews, on the 1st line he's obviously going to be putting up big numbers and Ehlers is playing with Wheeler and Sceifele also on the 1st line. If Jake was in there spots he would be getting the big minutest and he would be putting up great numbers as well. Let's be happy Jake is starting to get his confidence back playing in Utica.

Exactly why can't we support him instead of bashing him, and complaining over who we could've gotten instead of him. It is what it is, and this fan base has to deal with it.

We had one of the greatest goal scorers in a Canucks jersey in Naslund, and people still complained about him. There's just no pleasing some people. Ah well. Moving on.

There needs to be a Nylander and Ehlers thread, then these people that are so obsessed with them can talk about them there and not in the Virtanen thread.

Hate to admit it but you do have a good point. All we can do is support the kid even tho I dont really like the pick. Guess Benning kinda makes part of it up by drafting kids like Tryamkin/demko not in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find toughness in free agent or later rounds in draft. Sure, jake can get great minutes but who said he can put up great numbers? Didnt Button say he had $&!#ty hockey IQ. Meh.

Guess Benning kinda makes part of it up by drafting kids like Tryamkin/demko not in the 1st round. haha. thanks. yeah. like all GM's they don't always hit the home run, and they don't always make the right choice. given the opportunity, i am certain that we'd be equally crucified for making some poor calls on certain players and prospects as well. nobody makes the right decision all the time. benning is human, much like every other GM in the league. maybe virtanen was picked too high in the spot he was picked. but that's not his fault. if jake can be a top nine forward in the league, contributing 20 goals on most seasons, I'd consider that a success with the heavy game he also brings as well. 40-45 points is good for me for a kid who most on here love to, for some odd reason, hate on. i'm still rooting for him, and his 2 goal performance tonight - i'm surprised - hasn't had more people on here talking about it. when he's failing, more people talk. when he's succeeding, people are quiet. that's really odd behavior. lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're entitled to your feelings of not liking Jake being drafted 6th overall. But, it's done and over with. Can't go back and undo that. lmao. Keep rootin' for the kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
