JB report card...

UFA’s D - term too long on too many
Trades B - steady improvement
Drafting A- - bread n butter
Contracts - B - no poor deals

Overall C+ but climbing to a B

Since when? Don't forget Sutter was a resigning.

What's the scoop on Cosmar . I never seen him play is he decent?
- VANTEL


Canucks army had him as the 19th best under 25 player on the Canucks.

He's what I like to call a tweeter. Draft plus 1 season he showed clear improvement in the same age group. Exactly what you want from a 7th rounder. This season, he has 1 point and his line doesn't look very dangerous to score most nights.

He's got good hockey sense, he skates very well, quick acceleration. His shot is slightly above average. He's active on the forecheck. Not physical but sneaks up from behind and causes trouble and has no problem engaging on the boards.

With better line mates and some PP time, I think he's point totals would be a bit better.

Overall his projection sort of depends on how next season goes for him. He gets a pass for moving up two divisions this year.

Different spots meaning anything Sudbury and North?

Northern Ontario has less than 10% of the provinces population even though it's 2-3 times the size.

The BC health authority should consider shutting things down for 2 weeks over the holidays and going from there. Takeout, curbside, delivery still open.

People travelling over the holidays are being selfish.

- golfingsince


The island and northern health authority have a small portion of the population as well.

Ontario is starting their lockdown after boxing day.
Let people have Christmas with their families within their health authorities, it's been a hard year and people's mental health is bad. Luck is down again after Christmas for 2 weeks.

2 deaths outside of care homes.
ICUs are not full (this is good, let's keep it this way).
The Islands 5 cases a day does not warmth the same response as Fraser healths 1500 cases a day, yet that's where we are at.
Decriminalization of drugs should happen to (before I get accused of being a cowboy). Over 1500 overdoses this year.

Again he’s raw & on a bad team. No hurry
- Nighthawk

I REALLY DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND. If he scores less than 5 points this season, his chances in a percentage to make the NHL is ZERO. No one has ever done it.

Utunen has even scored and he at 20 doesn't even see the ice anymore.

But at 18, Utunen scored 3 points in 43 games, you have to think Jurmo will eventually score given he's played less than half that number of games so far.

Jurmo is still only 18 and he has scored at a higher rate than Utunen did at every level so far. Don't think you can count him out of an NHL career before he even turns 19.

Especially when there is no rushing him. 3rd rounder are not saviours. He is just a kid.

I'm not counting him out but at this point in time, right now, history is telling us that he is on a current pace to never play an NHL game.

There always has to be a first right?

True but it’s much too early to decide. Odds in your favour with still plenty of time to change.

I.E. he is a long shot. At this point, the Canucks are gambling that his size has "stunted" his performance to date and that given his excellent skating skills he will improve at a much higher rate over then next few years (as he grows into his frame). He has raw tools but a long way to go.

I’m happy for Don.
Won’t have to hear him complaining about the fascist BC restrictions anymore.

I wonder when he’s going?
