Is he going to keep it up once Martone and Rehkopf are back from WJ's is the question. Points might slow a bit.Vilmer Alriksson is catching hire with his new team , make that another two points 1 goal and 1 assist and he maintains his point per game play

Patterson seems like the type of guy who will have a really good last junior season next season and the usual suspects will get all excited then he will turn pro and be hard pressed to score double digit goals in the AHL.People discussed him earlier this year after watching him play a few games. Lots of skills but lazy. Invisible until the puck finds him in a scoring area and he's on the scoresheet seems to be the unanimous report on him.
Seems like a good guy to sell at his peak. If that was the game plan all along, it’s a good one. Probably one of the best ways to get value from a late pick.Patterson seems like the type of guy who will have a really good last junior season next season and the usual suspects will get all excited then he will turn pro and be hard pressed to score double digit goals in the AHL.
What did we give the sabers for Josh Bloom again?Seems like a good guy to sell at his peak. If that was the game plan all along, it’s a good one. Probably one of the best ways to get value from a late pick.
Counterpoint: Brz helped land Lindholm and helped free us of Kuzmenko's second year cap hit.What did we give the sabers for Josh Bloom again?
As I recall, we traded another 'Riley' to acquire Bloom from the Sabres, as in depth d-man Riley Stilman.What did we give the sabers for Josh Bloom again?
Sure Brz was having his super breakout season going from 57 to 92 points, Patterson has the exact same pace as last year.Counterpoint: Brz helped land Lindholm and helped free us of Kuzmenko's second year cap hit.
I know. I was responding to your speculation that Patterson could explode in his OA year. That would be the time to pull the trigger on a trade.Sure Brz was having his super breakout season going from 57 to 92 points, Patterson has the exact same pace as last year.
I think that the Canucks were hoping for some growth this year but it hasn't really happened oh well.I know. I was responding to your speculation that Patterson could explode in his OA year. That would be the time to pull the trigger on a trade.
My only point is that there's nothing wrong with drafting in bad faith (drafting a player knowing full well that he'll never make it as a pro) provided you can successfully execute a pump and dump.
