d3vilsfire 132 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 From what I've seen he seems to be pretty mature. If it wasn't for the Sabres jerseys in your sig I'd assume your another one of those butthurt Flames fans that has been trashing the kid since the draft. sure he is mature, but he has been having an awful season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomHero 55 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) The oilers basically got hendricks and scrivens for a third and Dubnyk.

Guest Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Actually Sandro, a buddy of mine plays for Elmira College with Hunter's brother, and he did say Hunter needs to grow up. His play is great, but he is a tad immature from what I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His play is great, but he is a tad immature from what I've heard. Even if that is true, the need to grow up is something you could say about most kids that were drafted less than a year ago. He was named captain of his team and as far as I know isn't doing anything incredibly stupid, since it'd be all over the internet and newspapers if he was. Definitely nothing to suggest he's "damaged goods". I'm not overly concerned. Edited January 15, 2014 by Sandro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But generally when they say he is immature and needs to grow up, they are talking about how he would be if he was at the professional level. I honestly believe if he had made the Canucks opening night roster, it would be bad for him as he wouldn't have to time to adjust and the extra junior years are huge in development! Don't rush their visions of scoring into your head (otherwise you turn into the Oilers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't rush their visions of scoring into your head (otherwise you turn into the Oilers) I know you didn't, but Strummer said he was. And I thought Shinkaruk should have got at least a couple games at the start of the season, but I never expected him to stick for the season.

It's better to have what you think will be your bottom 6 at the end of the year, at the start of the year as well to build a checking/grinding chemistry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer 21 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 My biggest problem with Hunter is he's incredibly one dimensional. He's scary with puck (when he chooses) but is unable to make those around him better. Also hip injuries are the worst it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Canucks could really use that guy who's scary when he has the puck, because we sorely lack it. Being defensively responsible is something a player can be taught, offensive instincts like what Hunter has cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megster 63 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I think everyone can learn defense but I think some players think they don't need to play defense because they are so good offensively. Like I think they think it is a waste of time to learn defense even though they don't necessarily look down on it, they just don't want to be bothered with it. They only want to do the fun stuff and they think since their good enough at it they don't have to do the hard work stuff but I don't think players like Hall and Yakupov and Ovechkin and Kovalchuck (ha russians) are incapable of being taught defense I just think they think they are above it or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle 667 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Confirmed for not watching. No, I watched you guys attempt to push around my team in a loss and then I watched you guys try the same thing and get buried tonight. Canucks were nothing like this in 2011 or 2012 when they were my favorite to win the cup, maybe they'll surprise in the playoffs but I doubt it because they are getting their asses handed to them by the California teams. Some are claiming the fact that they fought back against the Kings the other night was a "moral victory". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
