If a D DOES go top 2 it REALLY screws things up Hischier and Patrick are supposed to be the 1-2 if it goes either and a D, it leaves Dallas picking one of them or a D, Colorado has the same option. This leaves Vancouver with an almost sure shot at Vilardi/Glass/pick of the D or in the event of a truly wtf moment one of Patrick or hischier Possibly the only exciting moment of the draft not at the #5 slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would actually be good for vancouver. It would leave Chicago even more depleted, leaving them good enough to be a playoff team but not good enough to contend and immediately make Arizona a better than bottom 5 finisher leaving vancouver and Colorado to duke it out in the west for worst overall! But....with Hossa miraculously off the books they're not in the same cap trouble they were 5 days ago so the onus isn't entirely pressing to find that cap space. I think a lot of it will play in to who is off the board between 1 and 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForsbergTheGreat Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 33 minutes ago, Warhippy said: So...we're drafting Cal Foote? Foote has the body but not the NHL skillset as of yet. It's a combination. 33 minutes ago, Warhippy said: Makar will not struggle. Your incredible unwillingness to accept he's a minimum of 3-5 years from even sniffing the NHL as per his own admittance that he wants to stay in college for 2 or 3 years is crazy I guarantee he will struggle in his first year in NCAA. to the point where people will question his ability. It will be up to him to see if he can bounce back. 33 minutes ago, Warhippy said: 2-3 years in college 1-2 years in the AHL A 4-5 year development timeline where he'll be playing against men. Grown men. At solid levels of competition. The guy has skating vision and speed that is NHL grade. The rest are things easily built off of. A lot can happen in 5 years. Hence why there's so much risk around him. 33 minutes ago, Warhippy said: I stand by it, do not be shocked if Makar is taken top 5. I've said that for months now, much like I was on the Honka train a few years back and some projected him outside the 1st round. Those skills translate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 1 hour ago, CANUCK-EXPRESS said: We could have one of Makar, Glass, Pettersson or Vilardi!! If we don't get one of them I will be so disappointed. Yes, in Benning's interviews over the past 3 days he has consistently said that he likes "3 or 4 guys" at #5 and, at various times, he has said that he likes Vilardi, Glass, Makar, and Pettersson. And I have never seen Benning use misdirection so I think we can be pretty confident that those are his guys at #5. I am not sure of the ordering but my best guess is the ordering I just gave. I think the Canucks will only move down if maybe 3 of those guys are still available at #5 so they can be confident of getting one. And I think that is unlikely. I was relieved to hear this. Not that I pretend to have any great insight into which prospect is best, but usually the best thing to do in the first round is to "follow the board". And, although the board is less clear than usual this year, a late near-consensus has emerged and I think that Benning is pretty close to it. His interview posted on CDC is pretty good. I only cringed once -- when he said if they traded Tanev that would have to get a D-man back. That makes no sense. The point of trading Tanev would be to get a high draft pick -- building for the future, not to fill a gap this year. And if they did trade Tanev they would have a lot of cap room -- plenty of room to pick up a decent UFA if he insists on trying to be competitive this year. It is pretty clear he just does not want to trade Tanev. Period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3aL Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Really nervous for this draft so many uncertainties unlike I can ever recall. Will NJ take Nico/Patrick/ or Makar.. Will Philly trade to LGK to take Patrick/Nico Will Dallas trade their pick or stand pat, who do they take Dman or a forward.. Do they like Vilardi/Glass/Mittlestadt.. Will the Aves take a dman (Does this depend on trading Barrie/Duchene?) Do they like Vilardi/Glass/Mittlestadt.. Us we have a pretty strong idea that it will be: Glass/Makar/Pettersson/Vilardi --> Will be shocked if its anyone outside of these 4 unless Patrick or Hischier fell to us against all odds.

AlwaysACanuckFan Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Happy draft day everyone!! It's like Christmas Day and I'm excited to see who we get. I'd be happy whether it's Glass or Vilardi or Makar or Pettersson. Either way we will be getting a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
