Just saying, how many people would trade Juolevi (or Tkachuck for that matter) for McAvoy +++ right now...? Correct, EP is a solid prospect. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet, pettersson gets another crack at mora it seems. So it could be a good possiblity for another multi point game.

Ballisticsports. Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 It is too bad moderators cannot remove posts that are irrelevant to the posted subject It might help people posting in the proper subject heading then Although i did enjoy some comments and upvote some, I had no idea the E.P. thread would derail I have seen this on numerous threads though Has it ever been considered to help keep postings focused to the subject? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems our team knew something about Pettersson last draft who was ranked lower than we did or would have taken him... And again, I'm not saying we will/should do this. Devil's advocate. No reason we couldn't do both either. Trade down to a 10-15 pick and trade for a 20'ish pick. And no, imo we shouldn't have taken that Tkachuck. This one, maybe... he would look good on Pettersson and Boeser's LW. Edited January 29, 2018 by aGENT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one, maybe... he would look good on Pettersson and Boeser's LW. Actually, i had Pettersson 3rd overall on my list. He's actually a good example. If we drafted my need we would've drafted Liljegren or Brannstom. Who would you rather have Pettersson or those D-men? Imo Pettersson was a can't miss prospect and so are Svechnikov/Zadina/Tkachuk/Wahlstrom so unless there is a can't miss d-man valuable(Dahlin, Boqvist) I hope we grab one of those stud forward prospects like we did with Pettersson.

BAM, just like that. Didn't realize this GMing thing was so easy. Turf Benning and hire KingofSurrey. No doubt he's gamed the Canucks to Lord Stanley through his NHL'18. Bet he'd do it for cheaper, too. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 11 hours ago, Eastcoast meets Westcoast said: I see is as weakest on Defence and then at Center. Where I think we have some decent prospect depth is at wing. Is EP a center or winger in the NHL? Beyond Horvat we drop off quickly unless Gaudette lives up to his promise. That being said, we could always use a bonified top three left winger. Just that I place the need of defender and centers higher. Young wingers in the Org. Boeser Baer Granlund Virtannen Goldy Dahlen Pettersson Lind Gadjovich Lockwood At Center Horvat Sutter Gaunce Gaudette Pettersson? Lind? At Defence Juolevi Trymakin If he comes back then a steep drop to McEnemy Brisbiois Chatfield... By all means let’s take Tkachuk, but it means we have to find our next top defender by other means. History shows that it is much harder to get that elusive top d man other than drafting him. I 100% agree d we are weak on, but EP is a Centre prospect and with Horvat Sutter already and Gaudette and EP on the way I do not see The lack of C depth you do. and top d selections are misses much more often then forwards are. High chance we leave the draft with 1 of: Boqvist/Bouchard/Hughes But I strongly feel: Tkachuk/Zadina/Svechnikov Will all make the NHL jump quicker and have a probability of being impact NHLers, whereas the D asides From Dahlin will all require patience. to me drafting d later in volume is the way to go this year unless management is extremely confident in a dmans abilitys in the top 5 outside of Dahlin of course if we are picking 6-10 I expect to pick a dman though 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I found this interesting as well. I did a little bit of googling and I can’t find any event of people being expelled or deported en mass and then recently being invited back in. In fact, most reports indicate that Sweden has increased its border control since 2016 due to increases in immigrant detention every year since 2009. Would like to hear more about this story.

J.I.A.H.N Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I don't normally watch the all-star weekend, but did this year and was amazed with Brock...............but I came away in awe over Nikita Kucherov 24 years old, 5'11" and 178 lbs you can't hit what you can't catch I am not saying Elias Patterson is in the same ball field right now But they have a lot of similarities including build................6'2" and 168 lbs at 18 years of age watched some video of the two and there is just a lot of similarities what do you think about that statement? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're barking up the right tree...but I expect your going to get flamed by the flamer's.....I remember comparing Boeser's shot too Laine's and that was about a page worth of flaming.... Those same folks would never admit to it now though...just 4 months later.....and Boeser's shot is obviously every bit as good and accurate as Laine's.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
