Petersson If Drafting Defenseman: 1). Heiskanen 2). Lijegren 3). Makar I explained earlier in another thread, I think Makar is overhyped, I believe Heiskanen and Lijegren are both better than Makar. Flip Mittle and Pettersson for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the sounds of it Makar is going top 4 so he won't be available at our pick unless we move up. Boy, if you look at the draft rankings that VC attached, almost anyone not named Nico or Nolan could go anywhere between 3 and 20. I think Makar is ranked 18th on one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMc1 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 So this Mittlestadt kid, is his fitness level a character flaw or does he just need the proper motivation. Like others here, I'm okay with several different options this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it is nothing more than the fact he was playing in a high school program where I doubt that fitness and nutrition would be as high a priority as it would be in Juniors or College programs. Doubt it is anything to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWMc1 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) ^plus he's American. He might prefer an American market team. I was just thinking that he might be even better with the proper conditioning. Some team might get very lucky with him.

Nucker 67 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 ^^ that's my concern with Mittelstadt as well, his commitment to playing with any NHL team willing to take him. To me, it seems he's perfectly content playing hockey, at any level, in MIN. That's what seems to make him happy. If the Canucks draft him, is he going to push himself to be the best? Or will he take some time to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 my impression is that makar is benning's first choice and glass, vilardi and pettersson are about even on his list. makar could make our defense tip top in a few years. i like glass but they have a book on all those players.

I don't "cough cough" feel very well. lol So excited for the draft, been a countdown for a few months. It really comes down to one pick for the Canucks tonight. Some are insistent on Vilardi or Glass, some are insistent on Makar or Heiskanen. Not everyone is going to be happy with the pick, but that happens with every team I'm sure. Whoever we get is another big piece of the puzzle. It's "drafty" in here...I'd better go, I'm getting a pick. I mean sick.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I am at the point I don't even care about today, we've got it nailed down to 1 of 5 possible players depending on position. I am FAR more excited to see what happens in the 2nd through 7th rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSedin Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hearing nyr want to move up. Any chance moving up 2 is enough to include 21ova? Very good players will still be available at 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
