I find it funny thinking about how a year ago.... you were predicting playoffs..... glass houses, game 4, Vanek will still get his goals. on pace for 20 anyways, i guess 11 players are....

He has also made some nice outlet passes for scoring chances and has hit 3 posts this year with his shot. Baby steps
- VANTEL

His passes have been better but he still bobbles the puck waay too much and gets flustered when there's a forecheck. I've liked his physicality though.

The Sedins and Vanek will probably lead the team in scoring, but they'll still finish near the bottom and be boring to watch.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a parent kissing their kid as long as it is not every two minutes or lasts longer than three Mississippis

I'd only have him on the 2nd pairing on a good team if he was paired with someone who can carry him a bit. Otherwise he'd anchor the 3rd pairing.

Anyone who struggles to receive passes, handle the puck, and beat the forecheck is always going to have capped value to a team. It's the same as having an offensive dman who can't defend. That player only holds so much value to a team because of glaring weaknesses.

That's just reality.

McCann > Gudbranson
- LeftCoaster


McCann won't play as many games in his career. Or make as much money.

Want too make an avatar bet? It's likely to be over in the next year or two when McCann is in Europe.

I always like to assume every prospect Benning trades is a bust. I trust him.

A D like Guds needs his partner to not put him in a bad spot. So either get it to him early with time n space or be able skate it out or be a great 1st passer up ice.

Well, I guess vey is still tearing it up in the KHL, so it is possible that McCann plays another 14 years.... but I think that you and I both know that I meant in the NHL.

McCann is largely unknown, I agree, however, I think he's gonna have a long successful career in the NHL.
