Popular Post logic Posted June 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2018 Picks like these are what makes a GM like Benning very valuable, people gotta remember Vancouver was his first full time gig and he definitely had a learning curve and made some questionable moves now I think JB is starting to figure it out. Cant get much more value for a 5th than this guy, could be another Gaudette for us 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure_Pavel Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Its interesting that he played in 4 different leagues this season U18 jr B, U20 jr A, Mestis, and Liiga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering JB's success at the draft, and the obvious high ceiling of his rebuild, I hope we keep him longer than just the three years on his contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250Integra Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I have a feeling Utunen will be a steal in a few years. I think he'll make the big club in 2-3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I like the Utunen pick well enough, but you need to seriously tweak his stats to make him any kind of historical standout. And is it really doing Utunen any favours to use filters to make his U18 scoring appear comparable to guys like Laine? It’s like with Matt Thiessen (another pick I like). If you want, you can make his numbers look pretty amazing. Among all U18 goaltenders drafted from the MJHL, Thiessen’s 0.923 Sv% in 2017-18 ranks 1st all-time! Of course, Thiessen is also the only goalie to ever get drafted out of that league. Elite Prospects’ filters are really handy and can be a lot of fun. But they can also create some pretty misleading results. They do say out of posters who make such cautionary statements, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME is first all time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mighty Quinn legend continues to grow. Larger than life. Poor Hughes, on this team he can't use either of the numbers that really mean something to him, 6 or 16, and he can't even go by the name "the Mighty Quinn", because that name is attached to the big Irishman who was pretty much revered in this city. The team shrink may have some work to do on the poor kid's identity issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 He looks like Hughes light in the highlight pkg....solid on the puck, skates well and pinpoint passing as well as the same ability Hughes has to strip pucks away... In one swell foop our whole D. has been transformed and with 4 D in the AHL looking like at least one of them will make it (Brisebois, Chatfield, Sautner and McEneny)...it seems we just need brother Jack to come our way and the Cups should start rolling in by 2020...!

Also... https://streamable.com/l1wv7 I like the Hughes-roadrunner clip, and it alleviates the worries many have over his size/durability. The coyote is much bigger than the roadrunner and determined to eat him, but how much did that ever benefit him? Pretty hard to catch/hit someone who is smarter, faster and more agile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could go by ‘Mr Fabulous.” The ‘Midget Quinn’ But I don’t think Pat Quinn would mind a namesake that uses the moniker ‘Mighty Quinn’. The Canucks need a Quinn around.
