i was actually going to say that in my post

"He will be the best player from the draft 10 years from now"

Gotta love Feaster

Hes got good bloodlines but why waste a 1st rounder on a potential 3rd rounder?

Implying brassard never played with nash, nice one
- Mapleleafs_91


He didn't play with Nash. Not even on the powerplay. Youd know that if you watched hockey instead of just googling your information.

Maybe they think he's the next Lidstrom, but instead of risking of waiting to the 3rd round like Detroit, they got him in the 1st

No. I like gagne hes a good player but thats an "if" for you guys.
- Mapleleafs_91

At 23 years old, im fairly certain he hasnt hit his peak yet. I think Gags is just on a longer curve than others. His 3 zone play has improved hugely in the last couple years.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but can someone please tell me exactly what JvR has done/shown to indicate that he won't be much more than a 50-60 point winger at best?

I know the kid was drafted 2nd overall, but NOTHING I've seen from him has warranted the Flyers supposed asking price of Schenn+. Coupled with his injuries this season, no thanks!

Can JVR play defense?

I think he has all the tools but he has to put it together. He could be a 70 point guy with 30 goals some guys takle longer to develop.

He is not worth a schenn or a gardiner from us. I enjoy people making a big fuss over him when he has nothing to prove himself yet. And getting paid at 4.25 million, if he were to get traded to the leafs and still produce 40 pts a season, fans would go mental saying hes poop. Yes obviously id take him over mac, or kulimen, or bozak or whatever, though he has nothing more than them in his career as of yet, and right now it remains that way.

Jankowski is a center and would have went high in the 2nd likely, but you got the point already

Feaster better hope hes right on this one.

They will soon suffer our pain that we've been going through for 8 years now...

if i was Feaster i would trade Iginla and Kipper for picks and prospects, go into next year with a poopty team and draft MacKinnon... Boom, franchise is back on track within a year

Not trying to troll, but what has Schenn done, either? Both started out with a lot of promise, and both have failed to progress as much as people thought.

The difference is that power forwards have much more value than defensive D. Any team should be happy to have either player, moving forward.

Gardiner had 1 year and JVR>>>>>>>>Schenn

Talk to me when gardiner makes the allstar game. He had a 30 point season. I know he is a defenseman but you base everything on points so I will too lol
