He didn't play in one of the more traditional leagues last year so wondering if perhaps he can go directly to the AHL like a European can? He's committed to college.

I would say an emphatic yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if someone taken within a few spots of him turns out to be a stud. It would absolutely amplify it as it should sounds like you should become a scout, we'ld never lose out on a draft pick again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said I'd be a great scout, that's why I'm not paid very nicely to do it, like the people are that you claim hold no responsibility when it comes to drafting. For the record I'd go with Glass, would have taken Ehlers and Tkachuk too so maybe I really should get the job? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus bringing us full circle to why some fans, not all Deb, are jaded. But it leaves me wondering....if I CHOSE to follow something I'd become jaded over, isn't that my deal? You can only slam the team for so long before it becomes of matter of personal responsibility for our own happiness. I love this team...it hasn't been perfect but I do this for enjoyment. The day it stops being enjoyable is the day to ... pack it in? Find something different to do? I'm stoked for the draft...it's hockey related stuff. In the off season, I eat it up and it's all something to look forward to. To go in with a defeatest attitude just doesn't make sense to me. I call it the Eeyore syndrome. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I think the Canucks definitely have Glass as their 1st pick, if he's still available. I sure hope so, saw the kid's profile on Sportsnet the other night and he's got a ton of character, persevered through some tough times. 6'2" and still growing. Also, a Winnipegger (same as Patrick), so I'm a little bias, originally being from there. I don't really want a D at #5 again this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're a realist and a Canucks fan it's easy to be jaded. You don't pick who and what you love, unfortunately I love the Canucks and hockey, just because they've been inept for as long as they have doesn't mean I'm going to stop watching or pick a new team, that's not how it works. Hopefully they can win a cup at some point but with my favorite sport teams I'm used to being disappointed and absolutely not expecting it to happen haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilardi has been my guy for several months now but I would be more than happy with Glass. There is so much to like about him. I also agree that I'd rather not take a defenseman but even then there's some definite things to be excited about. I'm pretty excited for this draft because I really don't see myself being disappointed. Just perhaps different levels of excitement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Who would be in favour of getting another first and going with Pettersson+Kostin? The bonus here is that both players are eligible for the AHL next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny in Vancouver Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If I were just to base it on comments in CDC, I would say that: Most (if not all) happy: Hischier, Patrick, Glass, Vilardi Majority are happy: Pettersson, Heiskanen, Mittelstadt Majority are ok: Makar, Liljegren, Necas Riot time: everybody else Does that about sound right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCanuck10 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Well then, I'd like to say that with the 5th overall pick, Vancouver Canucks select.... Cody Glass! I'm putting down $10 on that prediction! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the team. Always have. Always will. Also, if you review my posing history I am usually a homer of sorts. I am not slamming the team by pointing out glaring weaknesses. It is what fans do, debate and discuss, no? Do I like losing? Do I like watching draft picks bust? No. I also wont shrug my shoulders and say, "ah well" and be a Tigger I can recognize a certain level of cynicism built up by faithfully witnessing too many failures and not enough success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winthecup Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 my take: 40 % they will take Glass 20% they take Vilardi 20% Makar 20% someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second choice being Glass. Third Choice being Pettersson. I'm not exactly sure where Heiskanen would rank if he fell to us and the others were available. It's nice cause I'm happy with any and everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vilardi were available at #5 I think they would take him over Petterson and possibly over Glass and Makar if they were available at #5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
