appleboy Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 10 minutes ago, Heretic said: It just sucks - we were the 2nd worst team in the NHL last year, and we draft a kid that probably won't be playing for a few years... That is actually not a bad thing. If he turns into a number one center then I will wait. We are in for a five year rebuild anyway. Glass will take a few years also. That is why fans are upset with Benning. Fans are not realistic about how long it takes players to develop. Very few just walk straight in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ok by me. We're not going to be playoff bound until 20/21 imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar baby watermelon Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 i hope Benning takes a LW with our 2nd round pick, either Jason Robertson, who is a scoring machine and has good hockey numbers on a bad team, or Isaac Ratcliffe, another LW, as we need more LW prospects in our cupboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleboy Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I never researched this kid much before. He looks like he could be a winner. We have all complained that Benning did not go with skill. This time he did and now we are complaining. This kid is pure skill. I am going to give Benning a vote of confidence. Let's cross our fingers for tomorrow. Dahlen must be thrilled.

Very few just walk straight in. Utica should be a good team next season so he'll even get to develop in a winning environment, away from the Vancouver media. Being bad next year isn't so bad as we'll draft a stud if we're in the top 4. Right now we're just assembling pieces for the future and we gained a solid one today.

Vinny in Vancouver Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I have a feeling Benning likes Jaret Anderson-Dolan: https://canucksarmy.com/2017/06/05/nation-network-prospect-profile-25-jaret-anderson-dolan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect he will make the jump to AHL in the 18-19 season, then jump to the NHL for the 19-20 season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid is really good, highest offensive ceiling in this draft (in my unprofessional opinion). Can't believe the amount of people trashing this pick. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
