sharbinder Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Alas remembering the small detail of the Bieksa trade to Anahiem, this provided the Canucks their 2nd round pick for 2016. Although it is highly unlikely the Ducks continue to be one of the bottom 3 teams.It would be another pleasant surprise if we were able to have a 2nd round pick between 30-35. (Basically another 1st) I'm sure most of us thought we would be giving the Penguins the Ducks 2nd as part of the Sutter deal, not our own. Only time will tell, fingers crossed.

DeNiro Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Annnnddd here comes the ducks 15 game win streak. Thanks a lot Sharbinder It was gonna come anyways. Somethings gotta give with that team. Their goaltending has been awesome. If their scoring gets going, they're going to win alot of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Annnnddd here comes the ducks 15 game win streak. Thanks a lot Sharbinder Pretty much. But this wasn't foresight by Benning, more like dumb luck if it stays this way in the standings (with the Sharks ahead as was the rumoured other team wanting to trade on draft day).

Then with the possibility of doing well & still coming away with a high second. that is all. just opening a discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 If the language of the trade was the later of our 2nd round picks for the earlier of Pittsburgh's 3rd (CAR) then we're ok, as we would be trading away our 2nd. If the language is the Ducks' 2nd for Carolina's 3rd then we got shafted. I'm honestly not clear as to which it is. I would hope Benning and company would word it like the former, which would account for scenarios like Vancouver winning the cup or the Ducks falling out, or even the Canucks going deeper in the playoff than the Ducks. From NHL, it appears our 3rd is actually conditional...he Canucks acquired the 26-year-old center, along with a conditional third-round pick at the 2016 NHL Draft, from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday in a trade for forward Nick Bonino, defenseman Adam Clendening, and a second-round pick in 2016.

thad Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I think id rather have a low second than watch Anaheim draft top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 We also have Columbus' 2nd round pick which is actually almost a guaranteed 35ish pick.With the Canucks playing pretty well so far, looks like we could easily have three picks in the span of about 10.Personally though I wouldn't mind trading one of them in conjunction with a prospect winger for a young stud defenceman.

Then with the possibility of doing well & still coming away with a high second. that is all. just opening a discussion.That doesn't mean it'll be a high second, even if it will still be better than San Jose's. Ours could be better or worse depending how the rest of the season goes.Sure, it'd be nice, but there's a lot of season left to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
