He is as touchy feely as Bloated mosquito .... should give up hockey and post on HB where he gets the emotional support he needs to cope with all the unfairness of professional hockey.

(frank) it, I'll stop questioning this management team.

But you really shouldn't stop b/c it's all so rational.

If anyone knows how spending 4 years in junior and 1 complete season in the AHL can crush your spirit and stall your development, it's the Subban family.

The way the habs screwed up PK's career has surely got to be on Jordan's mind as he follows the same career path as his older brother.

ADBlocker isn't working for me, but then again, I woke up to 1/2 my programs not working this morning. MSOffice was all screwed up. Tried to fix issues, puter said there wasn't any. Tried a system restore, never thought it actually happened. Restart and it is working, but hb is acting up now.

my antivirus program wouldn't load at one point either, said it was expired, after restart it tells me I have 199 days left?

but yeah, my adblock isn't working, but I'm just happy getting the other stuff working.

What pisses me off is everybody wanted a rebuild. So we are patient and try to do proper player development and they can't wait.......sigh. And if it doesn't work out it will be the team pushed the young guys to hard.

But why single him out?

Hutton/JV/McCann/Cassels are all first year pros and got games. I'm sure they said something similar to him, but I'm sure that if he's even half as competitive as PK that he's wondering why he didn't even get to lace em up for one game....I mean didn't he play in one last year and score a goal and then get sent down after?

- Nucker101


I was at the game he played last year. He was way better than I expected. Still way too small at that point though. Love his skill level and ability with the puck. I see him having the potential to be like our version of Sami Vatanen or one of those other small, but offensively skilled D-men. Likely won't get a sniff until he's 22-24. Realistically, he's still too small. He needs to continue to work the same way he has up to this point and fill out a bit more. They do also need to fill the team in Utica.

I would have loved to have seen him play a game, but I'm not upset by the fact he didn't.

I think Subban should have got a game too. From sounds of things he was one or if not the best Dmen in our prospect tourney. Give him a game and send him down.

My new Canucks Army piece just posted, where I look at who's still here and break down the prospects' odds of making the team:

Thanks for the link.

I liked your bubble list, these guys can't get too comfortable, others want their spots, and they haven't proven anything yet.

Word

People really have no idea. Lefty and I have been praising McCann for a long time. I have no problem saying I believe he's the canucks best prospect. Many on here jump all over it like he clearly isn't. Even though they've never watched him. Then he plays great in one pre season game and half of them say yeah he is good.
We can all read. Don't give me a scouting report on why a gut is good. Tell me what you've noticed makes him good. It's starting to look like oiler fans in here ffs

- Bieksa#3


I think McCann is our best prospect too, if Horvat is not considered. I think with the two of them its going to be like the Bergeron Krecji Bruins combo in the future.

Best prospect? That's a bit of a stretch, and /best/ is subjective. I think he's a top prospect, but he needs another year in junior, I think we need to stop thinking about who's our 'best' prospect is and look and who's the most NHL-ready instead.

Not only NHl ready. In a spot that is of a team benefit. Fill a role that someone else lost.
