Whats up with Juolevi now? Hes back in the A? Is he back playing top minutes?Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 8:02 amI guess you were reading while on lines here tooRichardstroker69 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 7:28 pm Button just said on 1040 that we got the best player out of petterson’s draft year.

Button also goes on to say good things about joulevi and basically says joulevi is better than tkachuk because it’s impossible to trade for top 4 dmen.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Point is that’s two occasions where you’ve twisted what Button has said. Why is it so difficult to just say he complemented Elmer instead of making shit up?Richardstroker69 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 10:14 amI said sure, what’s your point?Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 8:02 amI guess you were reading while on lines here tooRichardstroker69 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 7:28 pm Button just said on 1040 that we got the best player out of petterson’s draft year.

I think this board is pretty much in agreement that the club is looking a lot better now. Most of if not all of the posters like the kids and the drafting and a good number of the transactions made the last couple years. Yet you still find the trolls that will not give an inch on some the blunders that happened from 2014 through 2016. They blame Linden or the media or trot out some stupid punch line.
Hargraves doesn’t mind taking a bat to these posters in hopes of beating some sense into them. Hargraves is here to help.

Do you have a crush on dubas? It seems weird you’re really going to bat for him here. You like that nerdy schoolboy look or what?Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 10:40 amPoint is that’s two occasions where you’ve twisted what Button has said.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
I could give two fucks about Dubas. I just prefer if people incorporate a bit of accuracy when they are quoting a radio interview. Why wasn’t it enough that Craig J Button was very complimentary to James Elmer Benning?

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Doyle do you think the team opting to not do a pre-draft interview on Tkachuck had anything to do with how much Linden despises his old man?

Re: Canucks Young Guns
That was my thought on the matter. Is that the only reason they didn’t take him though. But a lot of people seemed to think that they were going to take a D man that year regardless. Hard to really know what the truth is other than that they butchered the pick. All the apologists point to the fact that we needed D men - which we did. But we also needed centres and wingers too. Hargraves motto is always BPA in the first round and draft for need in the later rounds.The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 10:57 am Doyle do you think the team opting to not do a pre-draft interview on Tkachuck had anything to do with how much Linden despises his old man?
But yeah Tkachuk’s old man used to bounce Trevor around pretty good back in the day.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Its one thing to pick what was the best d prospect at the time but its another to fail to do your due diligence and interview the kid. Apparently it is unheard of to not....
So with that in mind, it sure reeks of a personal issue and that could really only be from Linden...unless Benning has some issue with the Tkachuks(highly unlikely). If he could steer the team with draft selections then its not too far fetched to assume he had a hand in more than just this. Especially with the dramatic change in direction taken by benning as soon as TL was gone.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Ultimately I have forgiven Elmer for the Juolevi pick and the entire 2016 draft for that matter. He had good to great drafts in 14, 15, 17 and 18. That doesn’t mean I won’t crack the Chef a good one when he tells me Olaf was a good pick though.The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 11:16 am Its one thing to pick what was the best d prospect at the time but its another to fail to do your due diligence and interview the kid.

Well maybe not that young but; Brogan Rafferty is 2nd in points for all defenceman and 1st among all rookie defenceman in the AHL

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Yeah, seriously. Wtf is up with Tanev. He should have clocked 10-15 games on the IR by now. When he does, I see BR getting the call up/dangler wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 7:46 amHopefully he gets a audition with the Canucks in the new yearmicky107 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 3:37 pm .

Re: Canucks Young Guns
As an asside.... what will Tanev’s new contract look like??
If he stays healthy this year I could see him getting 4 years and at least 20 million

When Tryamkin returns next season him and Juolevi will form a top notch 3rd pairing
