I am throwing this year of stats away for most of the Canucks including Hughes massive Minus, this is not the year to be grading players. Til Lind proves he is worth more than Virtanen. Virtanen is the greater asset it really is that simple. I agree he has earned a shot. Hoping to see him this season. but he did not even make the taxi squad. I disagree this is the year you see what player play through adversity If COVID is your excuse to play bad play somewhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow 1983 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Why do people Like Lind this is a real question 22 years old, 6 1 186 pound which makes him a twig, We do not need another Brandon Sutter on this team. Has not gotten into an NHL game. And he played in the WHL where thy are not cranking out that many good players in the last little while. I personally would pick someone other than an WHL player. OHL or USHL is developing far better players I would say in the last 10 years at least 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our whole Defensive structure took a hit. From defense come puck possession and from puck possession comes Offense. I am mad about the Tanev loss to this core. Edler and Hughes have not been the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble 6 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I understand the Expansion angle, but Myers shouldn't be protected. That's the problem. Seattle wouldn't take him with that contract and if they did then even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came in as a young guy to a veteran core and became that Vet to the new young core. He was a true mentor. The respect he had in the locker room all the fans could see it because it literally could not be contained in the locker room and flooded out. It was sad to see that JB did not see how important a guy like that is to a team. I put Tanev right along side a guy like Linden Edited April 13, 2021 by Arrow 1983 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is more likely to be a bust then to fill a significant role on this team. If he can not be a top 6 I just do not see him filling a bottom 6 role. He has a lot of competition in front of him to make a top 6 role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a lot of competition in front of him to make a top 6 role. you need bottom 6 prospects as well kole has upside to be a decent 3rd liner. Most nhlers dont make the bigs til they are 21-23. If yiur a top ten pick you might make it at 18 but more often then not its 19-21. Watching podkolzin in wirld junior and in khl this kids definately a top 6 winger Edited April 13, 2021 by canuktravella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
