2017 NHL Draft - Chicago, Illinois June 23-24 2017

There's a lot of centers in this draft going first round. 

 

I like Matthew Strome. Left winger, 6'3 187lbs atm. I don't know where he's projected to go but mock drafts have him near 15th-25th range, pretty much where we'll be picking next year. 

 

 

I think our top priorities barring that Benning doesn't trade for a LW:

 

LW: (We are desperately lacking quality LW prospects).

C

 

LW should be our top priority in the upcoming draft IMO but lots of the good wingers in the draft are projected to go top 15 and then it's mostly centers and defensemans.

Cal Foote to the Canucks and then we can all cry about our forward depth for prospects for the next few years.

 

Cal Foote related at all to Adam Foote?

A future Juolevi/Foote pairing could become the next Keith/Seabrook pairing.

 

Foote's a big boy too and a righty. Problem is he's going to probably go high

This is true but if the Canucks decide to keep Hansen and Burrows in the top 6 I foresee a high pick coming our way.

too early to say. Chychrun was supposed to go high in this last draft, and  he fell like crazy. so it's not impossible, stranger things have happened.

Kristian Vesalainen easily for me. I've seen him play first hand a couple times, he embarasses defensemen who try to handle him as he has a great combination of speed and strength and drives hard to the net with the puck

For next years draft this is what I'm dreaming for: A first line LW

 

2017 draft-Horvat-Boeser

Baertschi-XX-Virtanen

 

Juolevi-Tanev

Hutton-Gudbranson 

Tryamkin-Subban

 

Demko

Marky

 

Or draft Timothy Liljegren:wub: and trade Tanev for a first line LW

 

Trade for LW-Horvat-Boeser

Baertschi-XX-Virtanen

 

Juolevi-Liljegren

Hutton-Gudbranson 

Tryamkin-Subban 

 

Demko

Marky

 

This is looking at the future core and a lineup without any free agents.

I see a huge breakout year and a serious ranking climb on the horizon for Foote

 

He could be that Madison Bowey type all of us on here dream about having in our prospect pool on the backend. Perhaps even better than Bowey. 

3 assists and +3 in Foote's Rockets home opener

 

Hutton Tanev

Juolevi Foote

Tryamkin Gudbranson

I know it's early in the season, but I can help think that we're probably getting a top 10 pick. I really like how this kid plays. He's a natural centre. A big body. American, (again) to add to our crop of fresh Yankee drafts. Have a look at his highlights. 

Exciting prospect. Has a little bit of Jack Eichel in him with the way he skates and his skill level. He's also going to University of Minnesota  next season so he'll take awhile to make the pros. But that's fine.

The Canucks will likely be a lottery team but id like them to embrace a rebuild and trade for more first round picks.

edler should get you a 1st +

Hansen should get you a 1st+

it would hurt to lose Hansen- developing into a leader and 2 way top 6 forward, but it opens up a spot for us to protect both Granlund and Gaunce.

 

thinking outside the box here, Ericcsson or Granlubd could be moved for a 1st- ericcson has a nmc but F that and we could eat cap to facilitate a good trade.
