Yeah but it is 3 or 4 guys that a lot of Vancouver media follow Taj1944

I'll believe it if I hear it from like a COL reporter/writer. Sounds like pure speculation otherwise coming from one side.

Safe bet my ass. He'll be outside the top 5 players from this draft.

If you think there are 5 better players than Sam r in this draft you're delusional.

I've been called worse.

They only follow him because he trash talks them all the time. I don't doubt that he is involved in the local media somehow, he gets some info that is pretty insightful but he certainly no hockey "insider"
- Chest Rockwell

Yeah it is just a rumour but it is a rumour that makes sense.


Statsny is going to UFA .They need a centre.

We don't lose Tanev and we keep ourm6 th. We finally get a centre that will pass and lose Kesler and Shink . Ehlers replaces Shink

at least we are on the same page. Let's revist in a while.

What's your knock on him? He seems like the smartest offensive player in this draft.

Exactly, unless Adrian Dater is reporting it; I'm not buying it.

I'll go in depth when I'm not typing on my celly. This thing drives me nuts.

Personally would like us to nab sam and could trade shink. Just think we don't need to make a deal like the one earlier. Has to be better options out there.

Let's be clear... I didn't say he'll be a bust. I'm saying he's not the top prospect you sell the farm to pick #1. He's one of a handful of guys who will be good NHLers from this class and IMO there are at least 5 guys who will be better. You sell the farm for Crosby. Not Reinhart.

To grab number one you have to give up a lot. I would rather trade Kesler than lose Tanev in the deal. To keep the number 6 and draft number one would be a huge huge jump start to rebuild

Reinhart Horvat Kassian Ehlers Jensen could fill out your top 6 with the twins this year and next year draft another high pick. rebuild done.

I didn't post the other video showing him in the gym everyday working out for 90 min.He sounds pretty dedicated and is a local boy. Draisaitl might still be there at 6

I work out 2hrs a day. Doesn't mean I should be picked 1st overall. & that "local boy" BS couldn't mean less to me. Who cares.

Draisaitl won't be there at 6. Even if he is, then we miss out on Ehlers who would be a lightning rod in Desjardins' north/south system.

A horrible one at that

So the rumour is on twitter

Fla gets AVs 1st T Barrie and Shinkaruk
AVs get Kes
Van gets first overall and keeps 6 th
- VANTEL

The guys on twitter are just (frank)ing around, this "rumor" is as legit as the sh!t we post in here. Still fun to see all the rumors on twitter though.
Having said that, what an awful deal for Vancouver. Kesler and Shinkaruk for the #1 pick? Kesler as a centre with Shinkaruk on his wing are more valuable than a centre who isn't even most people's consensus #1 pick.

What do you guys think about Josh Ho-Sang? Looks like a player who might fall into the second round. Would you take a flyer on a guy whose character is extremely confrontational?
