Y'all already know the people waiting on that demidov vid, where's it at?!?
I really enjoyed this video, thank you for it
can you do veideo on why petterson sucks he went from 10 goals in 10 games in rookie season to a 3rd line center.
Thank you for the great technical analysis. We are drooling about Cootes in Van. However, we shouldn't rush his development. Too bad he can't get some tutoledge under Manny in Abbottsford.
Braeden Cootes will 100% become an Elite Center that will completely tear up the NHL.
Hes going to be one of those picks that we look back on and think why wasnt he picked higher
Nice analysis dude.
Good video, couple notes, abbotsford is the actual canucks farm team and Sherwood is a forward
Looks like a huge upgrade on Pius Suter.
nice analysis – subbed
It's a good start for cootes but too early to tell what kind of player he will turn out to be. Like Myers in one of the interview said. Just have fun out there .
He looks good, just hope he doesn't turn into Gilbert Brule. Remember him? Exactly. Lol. Don't rush him. Going back to juniors after 9 games isn't a bad thing.
Phenomenal breakdown and analysis. Jonathan Lekkerimäki next..
Cootes over Kravtsov
nice video, but I can't see who is cootes most of the time
Sherwood – cootes – Kane
Elite 3rd line
9 games and back down to junior. We've seen the Canucks botch young players before. Jake Virtanen comes to mind. Cootes will be even more ready next season. It won't hurt for him to play another year in Seattle. It could be catastrophic to rush him because he had a hot start in preseason. But I still say 9 regular season games is fine. Let him get a taste.
The biggest risk I think, is that Cootes hasn’t faced big, towering NHL dmen every night, so for that reason, it’s hard to see whether he can handle the physicality of the league. However, if he has excellent footspeed, then this would be a non issue and we should probably give him a chance to play.
Anyone else think these were bad assessments? He was losing the puck on like every highlight clip lol
I’ve never seen an 18 year old like this in all my years. First one to make the team since Nedved in 1990. Nedved had no business making the team but he was highly drafted and the Canucks needed something to inspire interest.
This kid does not look like a rookie in any way. And in interviews his maturity is very clear. Wow. And maybe it’s more impressive considering his game isn’t flashy but rather just smart and effective. Gonna be fun watching him.
