billabong Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 It isn't just Russians where CBJ has failed, it is pretty much every single player they've ever drafted besides Rick Nash or players who have found niches elsewhere. Brule, Picard & Fritsche are all names off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opmac Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thinking again, they should draft Nail Yakupov. It was Scott Howson that screwed up Nikita Filatov. He should have been assigned to the Sudbury Wolves as an 18 year old to learn the North American game and how to play defense. Instead using his status as a European, he assigned him to play in the AHL and puts up points at nearly a point per game pace and thinks he's a hot shot.

Lemmy Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I seriously think that this is Luongos last year to prove himself; most likely the reason MG didn't deal Schneider at the deadline. If Luongo falters badly this playoffs he will be traded and Cory will become the number 1 with Lack as his back-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAILED-BY-THE-HAMMER Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 regardless what happens with cbj about nash and their lottery pick im more interested in what will happen in Vancouver if the canucks get bounced early.i still want us to move up in the draft and get a highly regarded defense-man murray is the best but dumba reilly trouba or pouilet would all be great.any rumours of cbj,s asking price on their lottery pick.

Versace Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I doubt we will get their first unless they get 2nd overall, but the most we will get for Schneids is a first (top 5) and maybe some extra. I think we will most likely deal him to Tampa for their 2 firsts and a second/ Purcell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Heyman Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Columbus: Schneider + Higgins (Hate to trade him but you gotta give up skill to receive skill) + 1st 2012 (Van) + 1st 2013 (Van) + Connauton Vancouver: Johansen + 1st 2012 (CBJ) Get 'er done MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmanVan Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I would rather have Brett Connolly and Tampa's first than Yakupov. Tampa is currently 21st , on TSN's draft ranking at # 9 is Griffin Reinhart. 6'4 , 210 pound defenseman from West Vancouver. Currently at 55gp - 12g, 23a, 35 points , and plus 23. Son of former NHL defenceman Paul Reinhart and brother of fellow WHLers Sam and Max. Has reached the 50-point mark in his WHL career before the age of 18, a rare feat for a 6-4 WHL defenceman. Strengths: Very few 6-4 blueliners can skate and handle the puck like Reinhart, and those attributes alone will intrigue lots of scouts. Has a hard point shot that often finds its mark, good passing skills. NHL upside: Has been compared by some scouts to Dougie Hamilton. Has the size, skill and skating ability to be a top two NHL defenceman. Give me Prince Georges Connolly and West Van's Reinhart over Yakupov anyday.

70seven Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I could see CBJ moving the #1 pick... given that they have LA's 1st, and will probably generate another 1st from any deal involving Nash, they could afford to move the 1st overall pick for a nice package.... Including dangling it for a Schneider package... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Lets put it this way.... I wouldn't trade Schneider for the 2nd pick a lone. If Yakupov didn't say he was a CAnucks fan, Bure was his Idol etc etc I would rather have Brett Connolly and Tampa's first than Yakupov. Tampa is currently 21st , on TSN's draft ranking at # 9 is Griffin Reinhart. 6'4 , 210 pound defenseman from West Vancouver. Currently at 55gp - 12g, 23a, 35 points , and plus 23.

Canuckz101 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I think MG will make a BIG splash at the draft just to calm Canuck nation about giving up skill in Hodgson. He needs to replace that kind of skill in the organization. If we get Yakupov, watch out! He will be an immediate impact player that will contribute right away without waiting long for him to develop. He's got the complete package and will be the young superstar to build the team around as our core ages. Columbus wants Schneider plain and simple and they know Tampa also wants him. Why do you think they leaked that tidbit of info about being willing to deal the 1st pick?.....To tell Tampa that they will be the ones to get Schneider. This will definitely get Vancouver's attention and I do believe that's what MG had told Columbus he wanted. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
