Better than a 3rd round pick IMO. Exactly. Actually, if Goldobin is not ready by the TDL he may be the one on the trading block. I think this may be a make or break season for Goldobin in terms of his future with the Canucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPG. Thanks! Here's the updated SHL all time U20 points per game. EDIT: He's also currently sitting 27th all time for players of all ages (4th best since 2000). Tied for 6th all time among players under 24 (2nd since 2000). Edited November 23, 2017 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 1 hour ago, DeNiro said: I guess we should be playing Boeser on the fourth line if we wanna draft Dahlin, right? Tanktard Logick: Horvat, Stecher, Hutton, and Boeser then Gaudette, Pettersson, Demko, Juolevi, etc. should all be in Utica until waivers forces them on to the team. In the meantime, we run with Megna, Chaput, Weber, Bartkowski, Vey, Matthias, etc. to play brutal boring embarrassing losing hockey for 4-5 years. But no, they weren't the same ones who incessantly complained about them on the roster, right? They were all consistent too -- had season's tickets of course, paying to watch every game and support the team through their philosophy. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDragon23 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Oh Lord, that assist has me like Don't think I've ever seen this much excitement about a prospect since Pavel Bure. Brace yourself NHL, we are headed for great things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 The question is really where can he go from here in the SHL? Is there room to improve offensively or is the rest about defense and the little details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I want to believe that, I remember a completely different narrative. If one of Makar or Heiskanen were going to fall, then we would've taken them. Honestly, Heiskanen is beasting it up as well. The "No way he falls to us" thing was done for Boeser and Lind. Speaking of which, I wonder if this means that Elias will get a shot at the olympics this year. I mean, his production is undeniable.

That's a value you can't measure in top 5 picks. Edmonton, Toronto, Arizona, Carolina.....etc. etc. have proven you correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaunce I don't see as a key part of the future and a dime a dozen player. Also, I think talent always wins out and losing won't ruin a prospect. If they don't succeed, then that just means they weren't cut out to be a star anyways. Losing ruining development is a myth to me. Could ruin markstrom/nilsson, but demko/dipietro are the future! I'm also gonna disagree with you here. Look at Edmonton who for years had #1 overall picks. They screwed almost every single one over...just goes to show you that you can have all the talent in the world but if you don't put them in a position to succeed they will fail immensely. Notice once those players moved out of Edmonton they are now all doing much better? Let's not even talk about hockey, it applies to almost all things....school, individual sports, other team sports. If you are put in a position where frustration builds up and stress takes over you will be too focused on doing enough to get by and lose motivation to succeed. If however your put in a situation where your confidence continues to build, where your in a position to succeed you will find the motivation to keep trying harder and harder. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let a buyer think that they need one more quality forward to get to the promissed land. Added to that he won’t be on the cap for the next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Just woke up (I work graveyard shifts, so I sleep during the day) to find out that Pettersson had yet another 3 point game. This is just getting ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I feel that it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for Pettersson to carry his own top six line outside of the killer Bs. I'm sure he could do wonders for whoever is on his line. It's not like we need a strict first line. Two "top 6" lines that play an equal amount sounds exciting to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but that is completely wrong and most likely, spoken like someone who's never been/never tried being a pro sports guy. Losing does ruin development, because losing and losing hard, tends to shake one's confidence. When things persistently don't work, even when you are not to blame, its human competitive nature to start re-evaluating everything- including your strengths and things you do well. Especially in a team sport, where 'doing the right thing' is even more murky. There is a reason why all the Edmonton draft busts aren't exactly improving over time or in their new homes right off the bat. Because confidence,once shattered, is like going into a boxing match wondering how badly you will lose. Really hard to regain. And this is why teams that really do tank, end up stunting their youth's development, ala Edmonton and its 'lost generation'. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckistani Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Can someone please explain to me: 1. Why is Elias not playing centre ? i gathered that was his natural position growing up. 2. Why is it easier for smaller forwards to play centre than winger ? i'd gather your size/reach become more of an issue during board battles,which wingers are more prone to getting into than Centres, no ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
