Good to see some positive talk here . Looking forward to seeing this kid grow in size and talent.
Lol.. its nice to have someone positive to talk about!
I would expect the talent pipeline to be the primary source of positivity for the next 3-5 years.
well, I am pretty pumped that Lankinen's GAA is higher than the price of Diesel.
The 'Chain of Command' is the chain I am going to beat you with until you understand I am in charge.

Only if there were some way to pump 'n' dump him.
How about if he only started against teams in the bottom third of the League on offence ?
And the Canucks practiced their "tight defensive shell at the expense of offensive opportunities" mode in those games ?

Lankinen would appeal to a team we are competing for the top lottery pick with.

Well, the positives is that TNFGs won't need to look for sparkplugs to help ignite this team... Diesel will spontaneously ignite by itself.

I guess the second part is actually a negative if you're not trying to increase your lottery odds.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he turns out to be the better player in that draft for the canucks
