I think he's gonna make the right choice. Don't necessarily disagree, but at the same time I can't help but think that BPA every single time out lands you in the same position that Edm was in where they had a boat-load of talent at the forward position, but had a swiss-cheese defense and no one in net that was remotely competent. Yes, they addressed both areas (d and goal), but they had to give up not inconsiderable assets/pics to get those when they could've done some strategic drafting at the right times and taken care of that all without relying on another GM being ready, willing and able to deal with them at the right time. JB/TL have, imo, done an excellent job so far, given the cards they've been dealt, at addressing all areas of the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Still going with: Dallas - Mittelstadt Colorado - Heiskanen Vancouver - Liljegren, or maybe Glass/Necas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arowind Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Maybe he takes a D at 5 and then trades for a Duchene, Reinhart, Landeskog... or maybe im just dreaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 BPA. I'll be happy with anyone from this list: Vilardi Glass Mittlestadt Liljegren Necas Heiskanen Makar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched makar play, that's like comparing Aaron Rome to Erik Karlsson They're in 2 different positions, Jankowski is a slug on skates compared to Makar, his shot is crap where Makars finds the seams to get on net and makar has this innate sense to find the pass eat tape There's literally no comparison there. And people can whinge about quality of competition all they want, Makar IS possibly the best overall D in this years 1st round. That's all there is to it. Watch all the nifty highlights you want. say the AJHL is a crap league in comparison. Then say how Mittlestadt is the bestest because of his tournament play in the same breath Quote it, Makar is going to be a gem of a defenseman and is (for the absolute last time) not a shock in the top 5. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft is pretty much flat, 'BPA' from 3-10'ish though. I'm guessing (based on Patrick/Hischier gone top 2) their preffered order would be something like: Mittelstadt, Glass, Liljegrin, Necas Ideally, we could pick up another pick in the top 6-8 (Tanev-Dallas package?) and grab two of those guys. Mittel/Glass & Lilj...yes please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessnuck27 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 He is going to pick Liljergen... wants European Skill with North American Heart. Juolevi Liljergen pairing would be great. Get our #1 center in next years draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGAME Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm totally fine with the Canucks picking a Dman. Like others have said, we stand NO chance against the Oilers in the future unless our D core is elite. I do hope that next year is the year we get our franchise #1 D this team has never had, in Dahlin. But that will take some lottery luck. WE'RE DUE DAMNIT.

-AJ- Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'd prefer one of the big three centremen, but wouldn't be devastated with a d-man. However, I'd only like Liljegren or Heiskanen. I'm not convinced Makar could produce in a more competitive league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
