7th ranked D-man for Juolevi which is a slap in the face.

Who's on first? What's on second? I don't know is on third.

Good gag of a list eh

It's funny that he didn't rank PLD lower considering how he has played like dog poop this year
- classic321

I also like how he says OJ hasn't played that well when he is improving on his draft year totals with a less talented team and played amazing hockey in the WJC despite having a piss poor team to play with. Just goes to show how much the guy actually pays attention.

I wouldn't put them that low though.

I'd take Boeser over Colin White who was 12th.

It is all very subjective, that's forsure.

Keller at 1, kid has played 13 (frank)ing games.
Strome at 3, kid can't skate for poop.
PLD at 5, looked like he busted out before he was traded.
Sprong at 10

And i have only looked a the top ten.
Frankly, anyone of our opinions is worth about as much as his.

I talked with Stan Smyl at Christmas and he said they weren't to pleased with his play at the start of the season.

Goes to show you they think he has another gear in him.

Re Pronman ranking.

It also appears as though he's heavily favoring newer draftees over guys who have been in the AHL or overseas for a few seasons.

Edit: Vantel are you advocating to trade for a Swede?

Just threw out an name

Why do you keep using the day to day league standings to define a franchise's current or future success?

I don't know I tried using the calorie chart and weather forcast once or twice but it didn't really support what I was talking about

Yeah Surprise Toronto's pick Kapanen is so low.

He is GOOD.

Stan Smyl told you they weren't pleased w OJ? at a fan convention?

That would just about be as effective as your current method.

Look at their rosters, look at their prospects pools.
Both of those franchises are in an infinitely better position then ours.

Winnipeg is 2pts behind us. So if they win the next two games and the Canucks lose the next two games, i guess the Jet's strategy is proven to be better then ours until we pass them a week later?

No I've been close friends with him since I was younger.

Was a regular at his camp.

No it points out that all you Yahoos that are sh!tting all over the Canucks, and how terrible everything is , that we should be miles ahead like the likes of the awesome Jets Flames Leafs Avs and all the other young teams that have drafted so well and that are miles ahead of us.

Okay, but we can't have the President of our "NO MORE SWEDES" club slipping up like this.

The Av's are A complete and utter joke. Their lack of everything has made me forget pretty damn quickly just how bad the oilers were for so long.

They are so bad with such good young talent it defies logic.

Other than his off-ice stuff He checks off a lot of boxes that I think we need.
LW scoring power forward.

I would not blow a gasket like some might if we acquired him.

Throw the Yotes in there too and they have been drafting high forever .

Tanev straight up for him?

Everyone keeps saying when the twins are gone we are screwed. I say BS.

Benning has built a very decent D and goal tending has been a lot better than anyone predicted .

They are both producing points about 1 out of two games and I think that can be replaced especially with all that cap space.

If I am wrong we get some very high draft picks , but the backbone is already in place for the transition.

No I think that is too much , we can go cheaper. I could see Hutton JV

He just won wold and WJC and mem cup playign #1 minutes in both. He was a lot more tired than Tkachuk or Marner IMO. #1 dmen that win the cup)or lose in SCF) always seem to start the next season a little slow. A lot of miles for them, with very little down time.

Lets ask Redmile he always says he will give an honest opinion
