  1. This should be interesting... 11. Matthew Wood 75. Koehn Ziemmer 89. Jayden Perron 105. Luca Cagnoni 107. Oskar Asplund 119. Hannes Hellberg 171. Austin Roest What if... 17 Oliver Moore/Gabe Perreault 43 Etienne Morin
  2. With how wide open the 11th spot is, it makes the most sense to trade down and recoup the 2nd we traded away in the Hronek deal.
  3. I would have prefer the two picks because the Islander pick and high second are good places to be in a strong draft. However, the Nucks were desperate to fix the right side D even with the high cost. Credit goes to Yzerman for selling high on Hronek.
  4. If Bedard really wants to be a Canuck, he could pull off a Lindros (Michel Goulet did the same to get drafted by Quebec too). So that is why finishing closer to the bottom is useful because it will be easier to facilitate a trade when you have a low pick too (or other teams could let him slide to your draft position like what happened with Goulet). Aside from the Lindros option, Bedard could go the college route, spend a few years there, and then will be free to sign with whichever team he wants to. Not saying he would do any of this, but if he really wants to the power is in his hands. Just putting this out there.
  5. It was unfortunate the team went on a run at the end of the 2018-19 season that put us ahead of Anaheim. Otherwise, we would have drafted Zegras over Pod.
  6. Most NHL teams are cash strapped and I do not think the Nucks want to trade away their 23 1st in a strong draft. What about bringing in a third team like Chicago who have some cap space and two first round picks in their own and TB (top 10 protected for both 23 and 24 drafts). We could trade someone like Garland (or some other player(s) for one of TB 1st owned by Chicago and then combined it with Ekman-Larsson for Karlsson with SJ retaining 50% of the latter's contract. It could possibly help all three teams. The Nucks get to strengthen their right side D and free up cap space. SJ will be free of EK and the 1st will help their rebuild while Chicago get an asset. What do you think? Are we giving up too much or the trade could be improve?
  7. Motte was heading into free agency so we got what we could for him. I agree with Schmidt and Dickenson we bought on the high side and sold low.
  8. The Nucks still have time to trade him before his next contract begins next season.
  9. How Swede it is...I like this pick.
  10. You are talking about yourself. Not true, just stating the facts. I thought Benning made some good picks like Pettersson, Hughes, and Boeser. I would rate him as a good scout just not a super one.
  11. You mean that is what you are thinking. Here is a number...2 Virtanen and Juolevi. Two bust by your super scout.
  12. I see that we are having fun with numbers and you didn't mentioned Pastranak at all. Here are more numbers... This season PPG Kapanen 0.56 (Pitt 7th Eastern Conferance) McCann 0.73 (Seat 15th Western Conferance) Pastranak 0.88 (Bos 8th Eastern Conferance) Career CF% rel Kapanen 0.5 McCann 2.0 Pastranak 13.0
  13. I'm not impressed. Why did he draft Kapanen and passed on McCann and Pastranak who were drafted below Pittsburgh's pick?
  14. We could have bought low on Jarry last season. Anyhow, he is one of the hotter goalies at the moment.
