It could be tonight, but I hope not. Weird. Since Ericksson has been in the line up, the Canucks haven't lost, with the exception of Game 1 against Minny - and I'm not sure if he wasn't in the line up then. But I think Gaudette works better with Virtanen than Sutter unfortunately. Jake's going to have to adapt. Hoping for a huge game from him tonight. Well not a huge one for Jake obviously except for that opening hit, but a good game for sure as St Louis was surging! LE, I love how he's been playing, I don't think they should change a thing, and I haven't read about Myers yet so I won't presume anything here.

Or is he out for the series? Yeah, maybe the expectation for Jake is just too high at this point you know - in terms of his consistency and commitment, and work ethic. Maybe the fanbase just gotta accept him as he is - if he doesn't turn out more than a 30-40 point player, then so be it. I think it's getting to the point where he is what he is. What you see is what you get from the guy. But hey, if he can produce 30-40/45 points per year, and be decent defensively, that won't necessarily come at an expensive price point. Maybe 3.5-4 million per year over a few years? Could be moveable down the road if need be as well, as I wouldn't classify someone like that as a core player. Supplemental? Yes. But not a core piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 24 today isn't he? I say, another year or two, and if he doesn't show signs of maturity and consistency at that time, then maybe it'll be time to move on.

As long as he gets a fair shake with longer reins I agree with you. I think he should be allowed to play his game, within a structured game plan albeit, but along those lines. Coach bad mouthing him to the media is especially unwarranted. If he sucks, he sucks, but let his play decide, not some effing metric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how much they'll get for Jake if they're thinking of trading him. I'd rather just keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
