I was wrong to assume this was a safe place to share feelings.

I was just going on about how the canucks have maintained a good development system when given something to develop. I think the Finnish kid has potential and it's strange that he didn't get the chance to play much even though that's the farm teams purpose.

Plus I'm going through "the change" so I'm an emotional wreck right now. Bare with me, I'll be good by draft time.

Gadjovich Palmu and Lind all sat a lot at the start of the year . They were not ready but are doing better now. They were eased in to the system . Lind said in an interview last week he was not ready for how good the players in the AHL were . He said it took time to adjust to the speed of the game and the size of the players.

He was brutal in Utica and he should shut the (frank) up. He was always a nothing prospect. Good luck with the change

Stolarz for Talbot is official . Trade done

Now Elliot back to Calgary for Smith?

Philly knows how to goalie! Benning could learn a few things.

Ehlers 15 goals 27 pts 40 games
Debrusk 16 goals 23 pts 49 games


Huh . I remember when

Never mind

I thought you wanted to trade Virtsey? Make up your mind, sheesh.

Palmsey will be better than Theo Fleury, book it!

I would trade him . If the price was right I wouldn't even hesitate. He is a blockhead.

He's on SNL tomorrow.

I got you bro.

I hope he comes back next year and develops with Lind and Gadjovich and Dahlen in the AHL. Hopefully 1 or 2 can becomes NHLers.

Maybe one of Lockwood and Madden can make it from the other pipeline down the track as well.

He's on SNL tomorrow.

Great tune, also at the PNE in Sept 10

Are teams asking about him? I'm assuming you'd get a decent return, a D man? Could Zack MacEwen eventually fill that role?

Teams were calling about him last week. I am not sure what his role is TBH?
I know what people want him to be but he is not. He has about 5-10 huge hits a year , about 1 fight a year and his top goals stands at 12. That is not hard to replace. If you get a good offer I say take it.

I haven't seen the nastiness in Zack in a while. When it comes out he is a beast but it really hasn't been his style.

It wouldn't bother me if Jake was in play. I'm pretty sure Goldy is despite what management says.

JB better double up on his hair dye with all these injuries!

Tough game tonight against a strong Sharks team, hopefully a little closer than the last time they played.

I would like to see Gaudette with Boeser again

JB better double up on his hair dye with all these injuries!

I think it's God trying to get Benning to do the right thing and tank

I hope so. Nothing but a useless floater.

I could easily stomach a JV trade, I don't think he is anything special nor do I have high projections for him. Honestly, sometimes I think he will turn out to be a kassian type with less salt.

- VanHockeyGuy

As someone who wants the team to win, I can only assume we're going to get (frank)ed up tonight.

Elliot Friedman is reporting Van/Edm may be working on Gagner for Spooner
