Alflives Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 13 minutes ago, 18W-40C-6W said: I think coaches hate playing their wingers on off wings because in their defensive zone they have to take an outlet pass on their backhand meaning they can't see the middle of the ice as well, they are on their backhands quite often when breaking out which can lead to turn overs, and also you can't protect the puck as well As an ex player who played the off wing, I loved it, because your offensive shooting angles are better. Green seems to prefer playing his players on their strong side vs offwing The great Red Army teams of the 1970’s had no right shot players. (Except Tretiak, the goalie) Great players can play on the off wing, or D side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to the net strong, finds openings in the dirty areas. But with a snipers edge. 2 years in the K will be better than Utica. He'll get more PP and 1st line starts. More open ice to work on creativity. Less meathead physical grinding in the K than in the AHL. Less injuries too probably. Bigger ice will let him work on his skating. Nice points, HK! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo5789 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I'd be happy with Lavoie, Leason, Rees, Korczak, Dorofeyev. With Kaliyev, Robertson, Vlasic, Brink, Afanasyev still on the board as well, we should be getting a decent pick with our 2nd rounder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generational.EP40 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I can’t believe I attended that draft. Probably the most lacklustre draft ever in terms of movement. Leave it to Vancouver for that to happen in after the most hype and activity ever really heading into it. 1 measly trade was made to move up in the middle that’s it. Got relatively quiet after the Canucks selection. Pretty disappointing in that sense. I guess I can say I at least attended quite literally a “draft” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Landeskog or Meier type player would be amazing if Podkolzin pans out and makes his way across the Pacific. I like the pick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaliev would be great but doubt he's there, heard lots of people talking about Dorofayev and Höglander as well though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasDrake Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Love the pick! Now that we got started might as well go with Dorofiyev next! Vlasic would be real gud also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking if Podkolzin and Zegras were gone then he would have made the trade. I also wonder if Broberg was big on their list. Well they had his name on the jersey they gave him. I wonder how many names they had done up beforehand Edited June 22, 2019 by Gnarcore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was explaining was how coaches tend to prefer players playing on their strong side, and Green has shown this preference. What I prefer, means little as, last I checked, I am unfortunately, not running the Canucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been hyping Puistola for the 2nd round pick for a couple months now. However I didn’t think Dorofeyev or Brink would be available in the 2nd round. Also really like the motor on Rees. So any of those 4 guys! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
