3 of them were top 3 finalists for the Calder , how much more successful do you want? I am not sure a team has ever done that before?
- VANTEL

Those three fall into the right category, Virtanen, Juolevi and potentially Pod would be in the successful category. There were definitely better players picked after Jake and Olli, which means he wasn’t right, but if they make the NHL he was at least successful.

Did you and Ray go to the same school, he just said the Czech goalie made 80% of the save...on a goal. Wtf
- Reubenkincade

Cozens doesn’t look fast, probably because he’s so tall, but man he collects points.

Gotta make that save.

You said a few weeks ago Jake scored 18 goals in a shortened season . I will take a 20 goal guy for a draft pick.

Pods will be a second line player drafted at 10

Need to see what OJ does

Disappointed that Canada will play Russia in the Semi's and USA get's the easy route

I don’t remember what I did last week so I hardly remember the specifics, you very well could be right though. I slightly remember liking him and wanting him because 1) I’ve always been a proponent of building through the middle and 2) because the Canucks had a serious lack of skilled players within the organization.
- Pacificgem

I remember discussing with you before and after is all. You were right about it being a good pick. You mentioned his skill and his position as being what the team needed. Before hand, you were talking size and position. Petey didnt come up.

Canada will steamroll Russia, not to worry.

TSN shows Bowen Byram, as they go to commercial, with United States underneath, pathetic.

I remember some on here telling me Dach and Cozens were very over-rated and wouldn't want to pick them, when I was hoping we might get a shot at one of those 2.
Still fine with the Podz pick though.

Canada had the easy way in group play. The crossover works both ways.

That would be me . Vey good against 18 year olds lets see how they do against bigger and stronger guys.

Buffalo with a nice prospect pool and some good young players but they never seem to be good. Last I remember them being good was 1999.

I projected Boldy in our range. Idk if I knocked either Dach or Cozens. I think I wasn’t real high on Cozens at the time. Didn’t think Pod would fall to us but I’m fine with it.

Dach has already started to prove himself with Chicago.

Also, I know who it is, because I wrote it down in my notebook, it wasn't just you.

Edit; I don't really have a notebook, because I respect just about everyone's opinion.

It was me .

Again I think players get overhyped.

Matthews first year 40 goals
Pettersson 28 goals
Dach 8

So tanking and getting high draft picks doesn't bring instant success every time?

What does having a book and respecting someone's opinion have to do with one another?

My book used to settle week long arguments.

So glad Canucks have Benning then.

Actually I just looked, 2005/06 and 2006/07 they went to the conference finals both years.
