TOMapleLaughs Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Draft Quenneville and hold him hostage until Joel tanks the Hawks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 OP, you should check out the junior hockey sub-forum. There are a few draft topics already started there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Seeker, give me Honka and Virtanen and an extra 1st round pick to draft Alex Tuch just so i can hear endless comments like 'Oh Tuch Me There" But yes, there is a few pre-existing threads, although this one is specific to WHL players so is perfectly acceptable. Keep your eyes on the Kelowna Rockets roster as well, expect more than a few of them to go in the first 3 rounds to some lucky teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Honka ahead of Fluery...? Wat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Absolutely. It's not redundant, just that it fits better there - or rather here actually since it's been moved now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Draft Quenneville and hold him hostage until Joel tanks the Hawks? You mean hold him hostage until his Dad coaches the team and brings in Scotty Bowman as the GM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 How good would Honka look in a Canucks uni...? Awesome. He's got great puck-moving ability and high hockey IQ which is exactly what the Canucks need on the back-end. He's a wildcard in the draft though, like Morrissey was last year. He can go anywhere outside of the top 10. He's the perfect fit, especially if the Canucks can somehow get two picks in the first round of the draft. Doesn't seem like a player that Gillis would draft though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorta like a more defensively responsible Erik Karlsson, not as great offensively, and unfortunately no where near the flow that EK has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I like Anthony deangelo more than Honka right now, at. Least I like his highlight videos and point totals more. Diff team different league as well. I really don't want to draft Honka, too many exciting forward prospects Milano Larkin Tuch - top American forwards that are in our range Goldobin Scherbak - exciting Russian talented wingers Bleackley- solid 2 way captain, would fit the mold of how gillis has been drafting Horvat and gaunce you know what I meen Kempe, karlsson- interesting swedes in our range as well Lots of interesting F options will be availble at our pick for sure. But from the WHL I want Scherbak the most! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
