Advantage Dragon. I stand by my post and would like to read his stance on that play. He's been a good evaluator of coaches here, dispite getting made fun of for it.

Damn trolls.

Top 10 draft pick who can move the puck and play the PP.

Top 4 shutdown dman who can intimidate and protect the net.

Good physical depth dman.


I feel fine with it honestly.

I dont know who posted the 3 draft rankings yesterday but there were some good players on those top 30 lists. Top 10 picks all have been mentioned lately.

Pouliout
Gudbranson
Biega

That right side though lol

THAT WAS ME!

I noticed that my second round pick (Noah Dobson) made it up into the top 30 of two of the rankings

I actually really like pouliout. He is a pretty damn good defenseman!

First the honey crullers, now this!

Nah, he's being serious. Pouliot has been pretty solid overall. Could still work on his defensive play a bit, but he moves the puck pretty damn well.

It took me a little while to delete the numbers from there. Probably almost as much time as it would have taken to just type the names all out actually. The numbers were just so jumbled.

From all the lists I've seen, there seems to be a pretty good consensus on about 25 players. Not exactly their position in the draft but the fact that they are first round talent.

Top 10 draft pick who can move the puck and play the PP.

Top 4 shutdown dman who can intimidate and protect the net.

I feel fine with it honestly. If they keep playing well I think I'd move Tanev for a 25 goal winger and run away laughing.

your sarcasm is well played....subtle troll job to bait the less informed.

From his 13 games here. I would say he is no better then Hutton or Stecher. He's a 3rd pairing D. He plays the fewest amount of 5v5 minutes. Only ahead of Biega in 5v5 TOI.

PP hasn't improved with him.

He's fine as a 3rd pairing left side D.

His numbers are impressive. He has the best corsi every night amongst canucks D and last time i checked was in the top 20 amongst the league in defenseman corsi.

I'd like to hear Dragon's opinion on this, he had the balls to call out WD before any of us and was proven right in the end. He also thought Green would be a good replacement and was proven right again.

I respect his opinion even more so than Goddess Carol's if I'm being completely honest.
- Nucker101

Whoa slow down sparkey, way too early and there are some alarming player development decisions. Oh and there’s this..

what direction do you think the nucks should go in?

3 points in 13 games? The fact you are saying that he is top 20 in corsi would imply that he must be top 20 best D in the entire league otherwise your stat means nothing.

Corsi and point totals are completely different lol. And i didnt make up the top 20 thing... and i never said anything about top 20 d in the league lol. You made a mountain out of a mole hill. His possession nunbers are really really good. Thats it lol.

Yeah Corsi stats don't win you hockey games. Goals do.

His possession numbers don't make him anything but a 3rd pairing D that plays the least amount, against the easiest competition.

I'm not sure what you mean by impressive numbers then.

The Pullout love is the same as 2015 Hutton love, 2016 Stecher love.

going for the playoffs? never a bad move to play to win.

would you want them to be buyers if they're close?
