Hedman Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 If he can get a little faster there's no reason IMO to believe that he can't be a 1st line player in this league. Great hands, great shot, obviously has a nose for goals and overall just a great player. Definitely not a bad skater right now, but would love to see him get a little quicker. Will be interesting to see him next year with Tyson Jost if Schmaltz decides to go pro with the Blackhawks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Imagine if we did draft Matthews. Boeser and Matthews, would be our Sedin's for the next decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope we draft Matthews, for obvious reasons, but also because it would be cool to have that all-American core of Demko/Boeser/Matthews for the next 10-20 years!

If you were 20 or 21, would you really leave a couple million dollars on the table to finish a degree that you could get at any point in your life? With 3 more years to go before he could potentially walk away from the Canucks, he would really have to hate the organization to wait it out. Whether or not he impresses enough at camp to earn a contract this year remains to be seen, but with the direction the team is heading, a good summer could potentially fast track him into the NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're making room for our new shiny bobble Brock Boeser. Maybe Hansen plus Tanev to Edmonton gets us something nice, like another top pick? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Benning and co. will want him there in a leadership role the same way they pushed Jake this year. It's definitely a long shot, because JB has said they want him to stay in school for another year, but stranger things have happened. He would definitely have to separate himself by a quite a bit to get that contract this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would definitely have to separate himself by a quite a bit to get that contract this summer. I'm sure they are going to try and sign him after his NCAA season ends this year, whether they will be able to is a different story. If they do, he could join Utica for playoffs (similar to Schroeder). I think a development year in the AHL next year would be optimal for his development (although I don't think another year in the NCAA would hurt either). NCAA is a great way to develop strength due to its easier and more routine schedule, however I don't think that is really an issue for Boeser. I think going through the more difficult and demanding season in the AHL would be best for his development. The big added benefit of the AHL is that the Canucks could micro-management his development (get the coaches to play him in certain situations, practice certain deficiencies, dictate his workout schedule, etc) in a way they can't when he is in college. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must laugh again. Either you're being sarcastic, or you completely missed the point of the sig. Glad to see I'm not the only one here that thinks (knows) that it's stupid to trade Hansen, tho. You bring up the fact that you want to move Hansen in every thread, even threads that have nothing to do with Hansen (like this one). As a fan of the player, it's incredibly frustrating. Dat Boeser, tho... Edited March 13, 2016 by 48MPHSlapShot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having watched Bure all of his career I would have to disagree on that comparison. Bure pre knee injury was the most exciting player ever, even moreso than Ovechkin. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Bure has had any equals ever in terms of pure excitement. He could do things with the puck at FULL speed that most hockey players couldn't do in warm up. I still remember his first game at the Coliseum like it was yesterday against Winnipeg. His first shift he went end to end around every Winnipeg player, went right through both defencemen at full speed and almost scored. There were people in the stands literally crying. Nobody could actually believe that a player this good and exciting was actually wearing a Canucks jersey. We'd never seen anything like it before. Sadly we will probably never see anything like it ever again. In Vancouver and maybe in the entire NHL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
