Can't go wrong with a guy who models his game after Dion Phaneuf.

Especially with the loss of Bourdon, this shores up our D-core.

Agreed.

I thought Sauve would've been picked in the 1st round for sure.

Considered the most talented amongst his brothers, I wonder how he feels to be the only Staal drafted later than 1st round however only time will tell a couple years down who really is the better one. Anyway, I'm sure he's just glad to be drafted after all.

My gut reaction to not drafting a Staal brother is mitigated by memories of Fedor Fedorov and Steve Kariya.

True or False: Pronger was on the ice when the Bertuzzi incident happened?


True. Although not Chris but Sean. He was also drafted by the Canucks.


True or False: Their mother is from Finland?


True.

Because having star brothers makes you a star?

Only if you're a Sedin twin!

And Marcel is a superstar!

[raad_luongo]

why would you want jared staal he sucks. He has potential but so did daigle. Would you trade yan sauve who has a better chance sticking with the club and actually doing something than staal. If we were to trade down to getstaal we probably would have gotten a 6th rounder and would have picked another prab rai. Im extremely happy with our pick.

im happy with this sauve

apparently an article by his dad said that he though he was the most talented brother but he didn't try as hard as teh others.

That is a pretty big issue. The best players are hard working and skilled. This is especially concerning considering his parents were probably strict and he lived on a farm. Maybe he is burnt out from working too hard on the farm and decided to slack in hockey.

[Vertikal]

Maybe he didn't even want to play hockey, maybe he just ended up playing because his brothers did, and hey, if you had 3 older brothers who were drafted with parents who push you that direction...I dunno I'm just saying this could really explain his lack of effort in hockey. Plus if he is the most talented that just means it's always "been too easy" so he doesn't try anymore. He just might be great one day, but Suave was a good pick for the Canucks right now, he replaces Bourdon(RIP) a nd could turn out to be a real steal in the 2nd.
