Canucks Young Guns

Kid has a good attitude and approach. Force management to make a decision with him on instead of managing his own expectations.

He may be a diamond in the rough. Nothing that would alter the team’s trajectory, but hopefully a building piece for management down the road.

If we can pull an NHL player out of the 4th round - that's a huge win. Let's see how he does at training camp.

We're going to need a few mid/late round wins. Long shots but it can happen. Sick of seeing other teams get lucky and not us.

The previous regime has a few hopefuls to show with DPetey, KK, and longer shot guys like Riley, Mynio, Romani, etc.. As much as they fucked things up, drafting was not the worst thing they did. Could it be better? Yes of course, but I think a passing grade is fair considering. And that might not be a bad thing since the scouting departing was carried over. You wonder how much better they could've done with more draft picks/opportunities as opposed to the opposite in trading so many away. It appears TNFGs will give them plenty more.

As a fan watching games, I'd love to see Cootes in the lineup - as a fan who should be patient, I want to see him in the A this year and only get called up towards the end of the season.

I want to see the 2 guys that should occupy half our center position for the next decade occupy half of Canada's at the WJC this Christmas.

This could be one of the funner ones to watch in some time with a number of hopefuls on multiple teams, not all on Sweden like every other year.

There is already a shot blocking 3C on the roster

Chytl?

[donlever]

Lol....the skinny Swede.

[Cornuck]

What's the over/under for Chytill's games played this season?

Edit: AI says it's 49.5 games. I'll take the under.

[donlever]

He's played 10 56 and 12 games over the past 3 seasons.

I'll be surprised if he makes 30.

[Nuckertuzzi]

Let's hope that's a consecutive 30 right before the deadline.

[donlever]

I mean its to bad for him really.

He did show us some semblance of skill as a Canuck.

4 years ago, his 23 y/o season, he kicked it up a notch with 22 & 23 in 74 games.

An upwardly mobile player.

Next season he plays 10 games.

...and here we are.
