We need more elite prospects.. So when was the last time our prospect pool was better than it is now? Were you even alive then? With the expansion draft pushing trade values down to probably an all time low, we should be big time sellers, huh? Do you ever actually think before you post?

We need more elite prospects.. Let me put things in perspective: Boeser- injured wrist. Was totally lights out before he got hurt. Juolevi- didn't play on a stacked Finland team at the wjc, not playing with 3 OHL offensive stallions yet still putting up respectable numbers. Demko- first year of pro hockey and respectively holding his own while learning the pro game and facing better shooters. Virtanen- ...... you got me. Justin Beiber was in town.

kingofsurrey Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 You should be reported for your rudeness. I am not sure why the Canucks fan base has such a long history of way OVER hyping our prospects . Do all clubs fans do this ? I kind of like that canucks in 2003 when we had on the farm team. These top 3 guys had pretty decent NHL careers. Do you think Juolevi, Demko and Virtanen will top these 3 ? Good luck with that.

coolboarder Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 This is a write-off year all because of Willie's coaching. I never liked his tactics and personnel decision on who to deploy in the line-up. I think that we are missing a few things, namely first liner winger and a good bottom pairing defense in case of injury and a good 4th line that can grind and score timely goals. That's all we need. Now, we might have to replace a lost player due to expansion draft and we must choose a player that we think will regress next season and unload him with an educated guess.

Burrows Kesler Bieksa No offense but in 2003 Burrows was riding buses in the ECHL and on nobodies radar. Kesler was a 'maybe future 3C if we're lucky' and Bieksa was a promising but unspectacular hopeful on D who spen the following 2 years in the A.

All three of those prospects arguably had some of the best possible semi pro years possible if you consider the hardware and awards they all were considered for and won. Its not excuses. It's facts. They don't have anything else to prove in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense but in 2003 all 3 of Burrows, Kesler, and Bieksa were Canuck prospects. They all turned out amazing careers. My point is that was some pretty good prospects we had at the time. Not sure if our current prospects will have these kinds of nhl careers. I hope so .... but not that likely.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more elite prospects.. Even if they were trending to meet their potentials and even if they were exceeding them we should still be sellers and wanting more. The chances they all become NHL regulars is only high because of our lack of internal competition. And so what if we wind up with two guys perfect for one job? Oh noes, a tradeable asset with high value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are kind of hanging our hat on all of them turning out, because JB traded away so many picks since he's been here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckleHorse Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Could you imagine having a guy like Ryan Reaves to lineup across from McLeod after that dirty hit maybe there would be no hit or being able to inject Marcus Folino into our top 9 maybe as high as the 2nd line I think it would minimize the dirty plays.

That is no answer. I asked for players in a team who are not up to the NHL i.e. like McCann and a lesser extent Virtanen (which in Vancouver's case was down to the rules) Which players in the Leafs are not ready to play in the NHL?

hammertime Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I wouldn't say the cupboards are bare. Horvat, Tryamkin, Virtanen, Juolevi, Boeser, Stetcher, Gaudette, among others are all trending to become impact NHL players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so .... but not that likely.. How can you even say that? The same version of you in 2003 was talking about how trash they were and how trash our prospects were. You are using hindsight to the fullest. Let me tell you how ridiculous you are in 5 years when some random draft pick of ours turns into a good player. You are literally using the same logic. All we can go off is hype until they play pro hockey. We haven't had this type of hype prospects wise since the Sedins. That's over a decade and a half.
