Unless I just have watched games where he hasn’t exhibited skating as a strength strange In the prospects game I thought he moved really well. Skating & speed looked like a strength. Then against Charlottetown I didn't think he moved quite as good. Not totally sure if I'd say he's a great skater but I'd say its more of a strength than a weakness.

Smashian Kassian Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Kaliyev is just piling up the points. 45 goals & 88 points in 56 games. For draft year comparison of goal scorers; Tippett had 44 goals in 60 games, Meier had 44 in 61, Virtanen had 45 in 71. Even Zadina last year had 44 in 57. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just deadly - think he has best shot release in draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.I.A.H.N Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 What I am hoping for is this...……... 1st round...………..Boldy or Krebs.....a high end LWer for Pettersson Trade for a late 1st, early 2nd...…...pick a defenseman 2nd (ours)……….pick a defenseman 3rd round ……….pick a goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hey, here a question for everyone Has anyone seen any articles about how genetics may play a part of who is picked? So 2 equal players with equal size/abilities/ and Benning likes both...……...does a genetics profile get included? Anyone have the answer? Do they interview parents....etc? Simply, wondering!

They do tend to meet the parents and get an idea of how big the kid will grow but at the end of the day, talent and character drive the decision. No two players are identical so it would never occur. You just have to make a bet if they're close on who you think plays the best game to translate to the NHL (think how they determined Shinkaruk didn't play a game that would translate), and who has the drive and will to compete and get better every day. That's the trick of scouting, its projecting talent and understanding personality....the latter is why JB is so high on character and his picks all show a hunger and drive to be the best they can be. Trust in JB and Bracket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Gonna watch the Giants play the Royals on Saturday. Hopping to see Bryam play. I think he has the speed, skill, IQ, size, and truculence to be a Marc Girodano type player. Will be a major addition for which ever team gets him. I think only way we get him is if we trade up or win a top 3 in the draft lottery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Canucks tanking or what? After today they’re picking 7th overall but with one win it could be 15th overall! Please somebody pull away already! This last spot is just getting sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleThorn Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The turtle derby is frustrating. If we miss the playoffs, we're picking ( using realistic prognostications ) anywhere from 6th to 12th. If we make the playoffs, we're almost certainly picking 16th. I both want to see a post season and am scared at how that could backfire on us. A healthy team might be able to hold their heads high, but Murphy's Law has not been our friend. I will always take a win over a tank, but I think that a post season has more negatives than positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just gave the draft simulator a click and Vancouver got 3rd overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second being curious of your thoughts on his game afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
