Hey prock, if you still lurk in Carols blogs, you should chime in, Canuck fans are approaching 2011 level cockiness… - 1970vintage

it goes beyond prospects. Somehow, in their head, Elias Pettersson was a top 5 centre in the NHL. Nevermind he's never broken a point per game and his prodution (point per game), doesn't crack the top 20 yet.
For a rebuilding team, no first round pick in 2 years is a problem.
They have some decent young players, but nothing spectacular. There are quite a few teams with better prospects/youth.

But yeah, all fans tend to get a bit of a woody for their prospects, but Canucks fans take it to next level. The very second Olli Juolevi was drafted, I said it was a mistake, he's nowhere near worth a 5th overall. He played for a stacked Knights team, and still couldn't manage more than 42 points. Virtanen, SHinkaruk, Gaudette, etc, rinse, repeat.
A lot of Canucks fans thought their team would be a top team this past season. Reality is, they're 3 or 4 top young prospects away from even having that potential. Right now, I can see them becoming a fringe team in the near future, but Benning needs to start making some really nice draft picks/trades/signings, real quick, if it's ever going to get better than that. This is not a team destined for greatness. Not yet, anyway.
Boeser - Pettersson - Horvat
Hoglander - Miller - ?

does not a contender make. He's really banking on some reclamation projects. |

To be fair, there are only one or two idiots who think Pettersson is a top 5 C and that Hughes is going to win the Norris next year.
But I agree, there isn’t much in the prospect pool to get excited about. |

Podkolzin is okay. Not elite or anything, but not bad. Hoglander looks like he'll be a serviceable top 6 winger. It's a middle prospect pool.
I'd say it's a young team, but quite frankly, i'ts not really THAT young. Horvat is 26, Boeser is 24, even Pettersson is almost 23. That's not really a collection of super young kids that you can expect tonnes of growth from, they're coming into their prime. WYSIWYG out of them, for the most part.
LIke I say, there better be some major acquisitions, and not of the broken down reclaimation type, or that team doesn't project into anything better than a fringe playoff team. Or maybe some draft surprise jackpots, which I don't really see there. |
