iinatcc Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I can't blame Vancouver for picking Jordan Schroeder to be honest I mean look at him getting drafted I think it was Bob McKenzie who was doing commentary but he did say the following: 2nd year in the row he really liked Vancouver's pick in the 1st round (year before was Cody Hodgson) Big time Offensive player for Vancouver Has Speed and Strength So if the Analysts think he was going to be a great player it's hard to fault Vancouver for picking him. That said it would have been nice to get Ryan O'Reilly or Marcus Johansson instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon45ca Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I'd be over the moon happy to make 125-600K a year doing what I loved...even more so if I wasn't particularly good at it, as is the case with Jordan. Greedy greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Shinkaruk in 2014,Schroeder slipped down the draft and I recall everybody was pretty pleased when we drafted him..It wasn't a bad pick..IMO...Lets hope that Anton Rodin (who went in the 2nd round in 2009) redeems the Canuck scouting staff,for there brutal drafting records during those years.

Then why even go through the salary arbitration process? Clearly he wants to stay and earn more money in North America. If he wants to go to Europe, go ahead, but there's an old saying in the NHL "you can't be a whiner when your a fourth liner". Looks as though he whined himself right out of the league...that, & his sub-optimal play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar story for these two, gifted offensive players but undersized, which made them fall at the draft and scooped up by Gillis in disbelief they both fell to him. And Granlund? Hes trash. Absolutely trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedy greedy. It' not greedy, it's his livelihood. Chances are you're probably happy to even play pro hockey for free.... but that's the difference between Joe Average and those who are actually top 1000 people in the world for the sport of hockey (think of how many different pro, semi pro, college/university teams, beer league, players there are in the world). Who knows how long he can play hockey as a career, so you gotta make your money now. $100k sounds like peanuts relative to the amount of money NHL players get, but $100k for an AHL player makes a huge difference as it can easily be like double your salary. I believe the NHL should be sharing more of their revenue towards the "lower levels" of players. The risks/types of injuries are pretty much the same whether you're in the NHL, AHL, or ECHL.

If we go back over the last 15 drafts and assembled a team of players we in hind sight should have picked instead of who we did we would be stacked.
