Interesting stuff.

Josh Manson rejected a trade to WPG at the TDL.

Cali to Winnipeg..I don’t blame him

Newell Brown signs in Anaheim

I hope doesn't exist anymore, he was a predatory hitter. Tom Wilson would be the closest thing to it.

I was going to say Kadri, but Wilson works.

Canucks are aggressively all-in for JB's last year, don't think he's taking the guy who's not gonna play for his team

his father played there for a few seasons. He's from Prince Albert.

At least we can forget about trading for him and stick to Cernak

Question to all you draft experts: who’s the Torres type player in this draft or does such a player even exist anymore?
- Shuswap Wap

Tyler Boucher, RW, USNTDP-USHL: Boucher’s physical play created a lot of buzz early in the season, but he was injured numerous times.

“People aren’t discussing him enough, this type of player is so hard to find. He’s an elite physicality player with some offense. The skill/speed doesn’t excite you that much, but I could see him sneak into the first or be an early Day 2 pick”

“There aren’t a lot of players like him in the league anymore, but maybe that’s for a reason. He has tremendous physicality, but can you play that way in the NHL without offense? When has he ever scored?”

At 41 wouldn't dislike the pick but it might be reaching a bit for what else could be still there. Especially in terms of what Van could use more off.

Brennan Othmann, LW, Flint-OHL: Othmann had a decent stint in Switzerland with no OHL season and was a top player for Canada at the U18s.

“He has a lot of things that intrigue from an NHL perspective. He has great skill, he can score, he’s a competitor, a nasty one at times. The feet aren’t great, but I could see him turn into a top-six winger for sure.”

“The offensive talent is obvious, he can score a lot of goals. He’s physical, chippy, sometimes I think he has trouble controlling it and crosses the line, which worries me.”

Mid to late 1st round pick. Not big but not afraid to throw a hit here and there.



Sillinger and McTavish like to throw their weight around against juniors.

Cole Huckins isn't a nasty player but uses his size well and not afraid to lay people out. 3rd or 4th round pick for him.

EETU LIUKAS was mentioned by Will Scouch as a physical player. I couldn't tell you if that's true or not since I've never seen him play but he did get 19 games in the Liiga this season. One of the oldest prospects in the draft he is.

I hope doesn't exist anymore, he was a predatory hitter. Tom Wilson would be the closest thing to it.

I mean someone that walks close to the line , not over it.

Yeah someone like him would be fine although doesn’t seem like he’s liked in the room.

You could trade Schmidt to the Caps for Hathaway and Dillon

LA paid too much for Arvidsson

Yeah, at least Wilson drops the gloves every time. A little more skill would be good. Wilson was a first round pick.

My neighbor raises meat birds and today was harvest day so starting at 7am I've been listening to 30-40 chickens screaming bloody murder, it ended half an hour ago. If my Grandfather was still alive he'd be over there getting the heads, I remember watching him eat a plate full of steamed chicken heads for breakfast.
