However I do suspect that this may have been a case of a player who physically matured faster than others but once the rest catch up (maybe they have now) then his production will go down. He turns out great on EHM as well. Not quite HOF career on my game, but pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt most people there could even name a hockey player, so anyone they get would be a no name in that market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing_Tall#37 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 If we were to land another 1st in the 22-28 range would anyone be against drafting Foote or Popugaev(spelling)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Boudreau Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Thank goodness the tank has begun thqnms to the plague er mumps, from the hockey gods. I see the Canucks picking a forward thus draft. There is no great d plus they have a bigg3r need for a top 6 forward to add with Boeser. A natural goal scoring WING or play making CENTER is needed ASAP. They need to draft a guy who will be an impact player 3 years after he is drafted by 2020 to join the roster. I like Tolvanen, Necas, Glass, Mittelstadt as top 10 picks. All look like future top 6 potential or top 9 at worst in case of Glass,Rasmussen, Mittelsradt Thoughts on those guys since Canucks wont be getting Vallardi, Patrick, or Swiss McDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 If we draft top 5 we are going to get a good forward propsect with solid offensive upside. Patrick Hirochier Mittelstadt Vilardi Tippet All of which can play C besides Tippet. Would rather draft Liljegren over Tippet if given the chance though.

smithers joe Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 i'm confident that benning will pick the best player available. the most bothering thing to me is how, all over the place different experts have their lists after the top 2 players. take mittlestadt for instance, he is picked anywhere from 2nd and 15th. looks like a crap shoot. benning will grab us someone good.

DownUndaCanuck Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Currently the Canucks sit at the 6th overall pick but could go as high as 4th if the Stars and Red Wings win their games in hand. Realistically we're looking at 4th to 7th overall. 1) Colorado picking first are taking one of Hirschier or Nolan to rebuild their team around 2) Arizona will go off the board, leave the other center (they have Keller, Strome, Domi) and take Liljegren. Future Karlsson/OEL right there 3) Vegas takes the other Hirschier/Nolan to build a franchise around 4) Vilardi falls to 4th overall to most likely NJD at this rate To be honest after that big-4 everyone else is a bit meh. Mittlestadt is having an up and down season. Rasmussen and Necas aren't quite what we need. We need a legit future top-6 center to complement and support Horvat. Hirschier would be perfect. Nolan would be great. Even Vilardi would be nice. The rest are rubbish. If we somehow end up with a change to draft Liljegren I say we go for it and trade one of our young defencemen for a good young center (Strome/Domi/Reinhart) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 COL needs NHL ready Defencemen, not young forwards How about Our 4th/6th overall + Gudbranson for their #1 Overall (Hirschisier/Nolan)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They primarily need left-side D, and specifically ones that have more offensive skills. Gudbranson fits neither. Hutton is a better fit. However, Colorado looks poised to be trading Duchesne and/or Landeskog, primarily to get 1 or 2 stud young D-men in return. So they will need a young forward, and are likely to be keeping that pick.
