avelanch Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 They will have the third overall pick and take Shinkurk. They'll be good. This is a deep draft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Betteman's pet project and vested personal interest will come first, meaning Phoenix will get the #1 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemy Time Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I wonder if we have the worst luck with 1st round picks.. Only a small percentage of ours go on to do great things with our team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossram Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 We do have a chance at 1st overall if the lockout erases the whole season. Every team does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombieksa Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Last lockout we took 10th overall (RIP Luc) with a 1/48 (2.08%) The teams with 3 balls ended up being picked: 1st, 6th, 13th, 16th The teams with 2 balls ended up being picked: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 11th, 17th, 18th, 25th, 26th So even though Vancouver only had 1 ball to choose they still beat out 2 teams with 3 balls and 5 teams with 2 balls. It is al luck and odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc009 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Not really luck, more like poor choices and development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drybone Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Didnt we draft Nathan Smith in 2000? I think our development system has improved . We now turn our draft picks into solid NHL players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Poor choices? LOL Looking at our 1st round picks since 2000, our track record looks pretty great. 2000 - 2nd/3rd Overall - Daniel/Henrik Sedin (Top line superstars) 2001 - 16th Overall - RJ Umberger (6 time 20 goal scorer, but did not develop with VAN) 2002 - No 1st Rounder 2003 - Ryan Kesler (2nd line centre Selke winner) 2004 - Cory Schneider (One of the best young goaltenders in the league) 2005 - Luc Bourdon (Would have been a top 4 defender had the tragic accident not happened, RIP) 2006 - Michael Grabner (Developed with VAN, but wasn't in proper shape, this was admitted by Grabner himself) 2007 - Patrick White (BUST) 2008 - Cody Hodgson (Developed by VAN, traded due to drama issues, got a top power forward prospect in return) 2009 - Jordan Schroeder (Ranked as a top 5 North American prospect, should have been a steal at 22) 2010 - No 1st Rounder 2011 - Nicklas Jensen (Leading scorer on SEL team) 2012 - Brendan Gaunce (One of the draft's most NHL ready prospects, lots of defensive potential) Man, our first round drafting and development just SUCKSSSSS.

Niloc009 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Only 4 Canucks drafted prospects have played more than 10 games in the NHL since 2005 (Bourdon, Raymond, Grabner, Hodgson). Only 1 of those players is currently on the Canucks roster (should be 2 if Bourdon was still alive). Not the greatest track record since the lockout.

RAMBUTANS Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 What you are all forgetting is that each team will draft 2 sets. One for this year's lockout and the continuing lockout for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels22 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Like the Sedins, Linden, Kesler, Nedved, Ohlund, Schnieder etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Sedins were 99, Nathan Smith was 2000. So we drafted 2 busts 12 drafts. How do we compare to similar teams? Nashville - 2 busts (Finley, Parent) St. Louis - 3 busts (Schwarz, Taffe, Belle) LA - 4 busts (Hickey, Lewis, Tukonen, Karlsson ) Boston - 4 busts (Hamill, Lashoff, Toivonen, Jonsson) San Jose - 4 busts (Wishart, Kaspar, Morris, Jilsson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
