Warhippy Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Gaunce's future is probably as a winger quote name="baumerman77" post="12233131" timestamp="1403919958"]I don't like this pick. We have Horvat and Gaunce. This kid is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Shinkaruk - Horvat - Virtanen Gaunce - McCann - Fox Kenins - Cassels - Zalewski AND THAT'S JUST THOSE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PROSPECTS TOURNIE. SO STACKED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hey man you can never have too many centers This year we had Sedin, Kesler, Matthias, Richards, Santorelli, Lain. We drafted 6th overall. We still need wingers. Hoping we make a run on RW/LW in the next 3 rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Really wanted Barbashev or Scherbak. McCann has alot of tools, alot of skills, just needs to be more consistent, one shift he looks like he could be a great player, another he looks unenaged, but he can do it all. Make plays, snipe, play defense, play the PP. Kind of redundant, but he might have the most natural talent out of the center's we have taken. He's a versatile guy, maybe he can move to the wing, who knows. Nice tools with him though, good upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 No question he can be transferred to wing. But in all honesty we have far to many young 2 way centers. Who will we throw out to score goals? I am hoping we run for High risk high reward wingers and defense in the later rounds. And hoping for Lemiuex in the 2nd at 36 Stop being a negative nancy, you were one of the first few on the Virtanen train back in April. Now you're all worried about goals and risky euros? Come on you know better. Simple comparison is the Oilers vs. Avelanche, both have had high picks in recent years, the Oilers went pure risky offense, while the Aves chose rounded players. One team is a playoff team, the other is in the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 A 17 YO kid feeling dejected because he slipped a lot? .. faces the reality that his future lies 3000 miles (5000 KM,ok!) away, and gets a mic shoved into his face so to speak .. he will be fine. Thought and said this as well on the 1st page. Maybe this makes the prospect of leaving home even tougher: Vancouver Canucks @VanCanucks 54s Fact: When McCann turned 18, he got a tattoo in honour of his mother Erin, who has multiple sclerosis and also is battling cancer.

Whale Tail Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I am excited for this guy. 6' 180 pounds. Ranked 5th for hockey IQ in this draft. Was projected to be taken around 10-15. Also found a quote saying he takes a cold bath before every game because he is superstitious lol. Has a lot of potential to up his offensive side.

Gyllenhaal Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Vancouver Canucks @VanCanucks now "I model my game after a guy like Ryan Kesler, weird I was part of the trade. I like his game" - McCann #Canucks lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Just a kid, he'll get over it. Probably a hardcore Leafs fan growing up lol Could also be upset that he fell to 24th when he was predicted to go 15ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 i'm sure some of them can play wing He has wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more offensive upside than Horvat and Gaunce combined Joe. This guy is fast, skilled, and has great instincts. No idea why that doesn't show up on his stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks1219 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Doesn't sound too happy to be here. I think he's more disappointed that he fell as far as he did. He was ranked quite a bit higher than he went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Sounds like he's a highly talented two way center, not gonna complain. We've got a few of those, but I'd like to be strong down the middle. There's no guarantee prospects turn out anyway, so eh. I'd have like a riskier, highly talented offensive player, but I'll take it. As for his reaction, he seemed kinda flustered. Could be that he was disappointed to have been picked so low, could be that he wanted to be picked by someone else. Who knows, he's a young guy so I'll cut him some slack. Give him some time to let what's happened today sink in and I'm sure he'll be buying right in. Not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping we run for High risk high reward wingers and defense in the later rounds. And hoping for Lemiuex in the 2nd at 36 Kopitar, Ricards, and Stoll are all two way centers. That term is too lose to describe the players you're describing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
