Winnipeg fans are convinced they are getting a Finn that is able to lead the league in scoring. I doubt they would ever trade Laine.

me neither

Will Winnipeg be your new favorite team?

Sure seems so. There isnt a Mcdavid, but a couple guys or 3 or 4 better than Eichel IMO
- poohcrumbs

I personally think Matthews is on the same elite level as Mcdavid. Time will tell how his transition to nhl will be. But, comparable like Crosby and Toews.. 2 different players.

Didn’t you just trade nylander as part of the package for laine?

YOU'RE BACK!!!



TBH, I kinda want the Leafs to take both Gustavsson and Parsons at the top of the second round... maybe trade back a little and pick up the latter at around 40 if there's an offer out there. It's time to overhaul the goaltending depth.

Oh ya! Sorry lol Sub in Kadri

Not comparable
- Canadianleaf

100% comparable.
It's a media vote, so don't put too much weight on it.

Laine is a bad skater which is a risk for the role he should play.

I knew it sounded to good to be true

I agree, compared to the rest of the league our goalie prospects have to be dead last. Seems like almost every team has 2 good goalies. Some teams 3

When his is 6ft8 and has a reach of 10Ft it won't matter how fast he is. You won't even be able to touch the puck.

We're going to have to agree to disagree I think buddy... Sorry

Patrik Laine says eight teams interviewed him at combine. Expected more. Says Toronto was the toughest.

i'm not saying he is slow.
he skates bad technically.
not very agile, weak first steps.
this is all relative obviously.
will pan out a good nhl player, but potentially next brian boyle.

Two goalies not named Parsons. The London Knights love in is over.

Must be.

If only we could have three of the best 2 goalies in the world like some teams....

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I may be, but isn't Parsons rated 3rd best goalie in this draft? Which for goalies means nothing.

it would be funny if the pens interviewed him just for the sake of fking with him even tho there's no chance they get him

Would love to have listened in on that.

Ha ha, my reference brought out a bunch of Three's Company love, good stuff! Back in the day it was on rotation on the old CVKR tv station. They would run through the whole series and start over again. I must have watched the entire thing three or four times. God Bless John Ritter, he should have had many more shows.

Is Carter Hart rated #1?

As a Londoner, I'm a solid fan of the knights. But I'm not sold on Parsons. Honestly I give up trying to even attempt guessing which goaler could pan out. Bibeau put Val d'Or on his back to get them to the Mem cup from what I remember and he's just meh now.

Still think we could grab us a Pu at 29/30 or 31 though
