Pretty much, liked him even if he didn't turn out but we have better options currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal.view Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 drafting him at the draft position he was chosen was a reach our past GM was trying to hit a home run and wiffed schroeder is simply one in a line of players drafted by the canucks during an extremely poor draft run our current crop of young players appear to have a more solid future than the past draft era mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure hindsight is great, but you could time travel back to 2009, I'd say 90% of the fanbase was estatic with this pick. Drafting is only half the battle, well chonicled how our farm team was a mess and it also falls on Jordan himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckGAME Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Lol at the people who are bashing the fact we drafted him and saying he was a reach picked at the spot he was taken. Either you weren't around during those days, or you guys are putting on an act, but getting Schroeder where we got him during that draft the entire fan base was ecstatic, he was a great pick at that draft position. So let's cut the crap. Some prospects pan out, others don't, "Thats just the way she goes" - Ray Pissjugsnpepperoni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC20.0 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Schroeder never found his footing after being drafted. The two year Wolves stint didn't help either. Could just never pull it together. I'd take him only for the Comets really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaBamba Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I remember he was almost, kinda, sorta breaking out and he broke something from a blocked shot? I think? Just never got back in stride. I never liked him, don't really like small players that play small. Even midget boy Subban annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Another wasted 1st round pick. The Canucks would want him back because.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Can't really blame Gillis on this. The only person of note after Schroeder at 22 was Jakob Silfverberg at 39. After the first 7 of the 2009 draft year the drop off became steep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_NHL_Entry_Draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
