You wouldn’t happen to have Finnish heritage would you? Lots of Finns up there in the Mat from EuroCan.

Nope. I know lots of Finns here though, they are annoying fans, kinda like Leaf fans.

Its funny how Podz has skills like defensive game etc that go well in a bottom 6 role. However, he's got hockey IQ and skill that make him a great 2 way top 6 player. What does that translate to is interesting how often its debated here.

Remember the Petey v Glass debates in Canuck fandom and the glass half full crowd (pun intended) just couldn't buy into Petey's weight or skills would translate into NHL play. When someone is against a pick they fight that narrative well into his NHL years. The bar for Podz has already been set too high to overcome that kind of scrutiny.

Not sure what you are talking about, all of us here were thrilled when Benning picked Elias.

I’m a very suspicious person. Last year I wished everybody a happy new year and look what happened. So this year, from the bottom of my heart, (frank) you.

I didn't know this until yesterday but Jonny Tychonick left UND this year because they told him he wasn't going to make the team over the other two left handed D coming in Sens other draft picks

Too bad the WHL isn’t up and running, he should’ve went there.

I can't remember who was on here telling us how good Broberg is, hopefully they have now come to their senses.

There were quite of few that wanted other players actually. I was one of them but glad to be wrong. Glass was probably the player most wanted when the Canucks time came to pick. Very few actually wanted Petey. 2 or 3 people tops but as usual, a couple of years pass and magically the number of people who wanted Petey grows 10 fold.

That being said, I don't really remember much talk about Petey not translating to an NHL player. It was simply a case of desiring a different player. There were concerns about his thin frame etc(not me) but as far as skill goes, what was there to argue about? He was a dominant player against men in his draft +1 season. MVP regular and playoffs. Scoring leader... world class unicycling juggling score at will highlight reel. Confidence to spare... Early in his draft +1 season, I knew JB made the right choice...

I guess Benning now has to be considered a better GM than Yzerman Holland and Shero seeing Costmar was one of the top 3 players and Broberg Holtz and Raymond well weren't .

What is the injury, defensivitis?

He was drafted by Las Vegas, should be their 3rd line center.

Yup. He will be a decent defenseman, in a few years.

Thought he got traded?
- Bettmanhatesus

Lias Andersson was traded, something went sour with him and the Rangers. He’s with Los Angeles now.
