The Craig Button - Jake Virtanen - Brock Boeser Equation

Post by Southern_Canuck »

If you are starting to think that Virtanen might become a slightly more talented version of Raffi Torres, here is some food for thought...

Craig Button ranked Virtanen 43rd for the 2014 draft - drastically different than Bob McKenzie (7th), ISS (10th), and Central Scoutting (6th North American skater) - and Button compared him to Raffi Torres...

So if you are starting to think that Button correctly assessed Virtanen as a talented 3rd line banger - here is some good news:

Craig Button ranked Brock Boeser 9th overall in 2015 - compared to Bob McKenzie (26th), McKeen (28th), and Central Scouting (26th North American skater)!

Maybe Craig Button is a prescient being, and Brock Boeser will be an incredible steal where the Canucks selected him at 23rd overall...!

Well the Canucks thought so. They were all set to trade down, grab a second until he fell to them.
The only HW the Canucks need

Bob McKenzie (the prospect hockey mastermind) probably hates Button.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

anything out of the top 3 is a crap shot.

These are motor mouths paid to sell advertising and they know little more than the rest of us on the ability of any player.

Jake has the late hit-jump-make-the-boards-go-boom-oops-I'm-out-of-the-play eagerness of Matt Cooke. He needs to wash himself of that stain.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
