I still think Demko is the better prospect out of the two. And how the heck does a 9 point in 25 AHL games Alex Nylander rank ahead of Adam Gaudette? Dube made the list but Lind didn't though Lind put up better stats on the same WHL team. It just seems too random and he tries to include atleast 1 prospect from each NHL team. Doesnt look like they did their homework...THN is ranked OJ ahead of Boeser every year...wonder if they are right? We'd be set if they are.

I wish he was our player... oh WAIT! EP is in the right spot don't get me wrong. I hate how Vilardi is ahead of someone like Gaudette. It doesn't make sense to me.

Pete M Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 This season was a write off in most fans mind...however, the team was doing better than expected before the injuries to Bo, Baer, Sutter and Gud happened. With these players back healthy...hopefully they can start winning up to the TDL, then make some trades to get more prospects and/ or picks. After, the TDL, bring in the young guns and play JV more to see where these guys are in their development by giving them more minutes. If they keep winning, then this is a bonus because they've improved their prospect and draft pick pool plus they are still winning...if they don't win, then they can make adjustments in the off-season to improve this team and get a better chance at a higher draft pick. It would be great if Gagner gets picked up by a team in order to give the younger guys like Pettersson, Gaudette, Dahlen a chance to make the team next year...two more years of Gagner will seem a long time. LE's contract makes him untradeable; however, he will be a useful defensive player while the young guys grow....Gagner on the other hand, is a liability defensively.

Horvat, future captain I'm telling ya (should be right now, if you ask me). Woulda liked to see Lalongo in there tonight against his old team and all that, but that age thing there, it catches up with ya. I remember back with Terry O'Reilly (great guy) one time against the Flyers, this guy comes up and says to him... no wait, hold on, back to the game -- you're getting me off-track here. How much time we have? Yeah so anyhow, they go and trade away Bietska (super guy, tough, shoulda won the Norris), but they're still hanging on to the Sundins. I don't get it. Trade away heart and soul with that guy, but you still got them two in there, barely 10 minutes per game, when you're supposed to be rebuilding. What's going on? You can't have that. Jim Benning, doing a great job, but he's gotta get in there and tell the owners to move on. Let the Sundins retire, give them the big ceremony and all that, and let the kids play! Let's go!

Hairy Kneel Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 2 hours ago, TheGuardian_ said: So Daniel Sedin just said that dump and chase is the way this team has to play to be successful. Essentially he said dump the puck in other teams zone and wait for them to make and take advantage of their mistakes. I think that means "dumb" the game down and don't rely on puck possession. 1 That's like playing "Go Fetch" with Jake I guess.

I mean, wiithout the top 3 that you mention there are still a few players to get excited about. Name any team in the league that has more than 3 top prospects not playing in the NHL.

Lind Gadjovich Palmu Lockwood Gaudette Dahlen Goldobin Plus this year's draft...And maybe Archibald, boucheretc And with the need to only add one or two per year going forward we have some depth. Besides, if the kids are ready, why would we want to leave any in the ahl or Europe so we can watch a bunch of placeholders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost done one more year on L.E.s contract...i.wasnt happy when we signed Gagne, mostly because he's burned me twice in fantasy hockey, his contract is palatable. Sure their will be a collective sigh of relief when both of them are done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbdoubleu Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Have Trocheck in my pool. He is an absolute fantasy beast. Ranked 10th overall in a league that counts SOG HITS and BLOCKS plus the usual scoring stats. Here's hoping for a 7-4 Canucks win, with Vinny getting 2 PPG 2 PPA, 8 SOG, 5 HITS, 4 BLOCKS, 7 PIMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
