Of course I meant on tv smart ass. Look at my previous posts I'm not always right but I often am. This wouldn't be the first first time I went against popular opinion and was right. I don't even hate the pick I just really wanted Vilardi or Glass. Petterson will be a good player but I think his trajectory is longer then the other guys. Teams will regret passing on Vilardi. When I'm proven right all you guys will vanish I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not that he "would" have gone first but he certainly "could" have, if he had those extra 20 pounds. His scoring numbers are outrageously good. First overall in SEAL adjusted points/GP and his numbers basically broke the projection models like pGPS because his historic scoring levels have no player comparables. And he's one of the most skilled players in the draft. To all those, who think they are better scouts than JB and Canucks scouting team.... Maybe you should read this. Its a gamble, but if it comes off, it could be a corner stone in a future contender. Sedins are only going to decline even more, and we need somebody to take over the creativity part. We are totally devoid of creativity and scoring, and when JB goes for players that can improve it, he get slated... get a life... Half of these people were the same that were screaming for Virtanen because Nylander and Ehlers were soft Euro players, and now they are drooling over them instead. Yes we're are soft as hell just now, but there is another 3-4 drafts until we are starting to be relevant again. With the players we are starting to amass , we will also be able to pull some trades, which we haven't be en able to before due to lack of depth...

He is years away though. Vilardi will be ready in a year and Glass in 1-2 years. We need help soon our team is awful. I love the Canucks I hate seeing them as bottom feeders.

No one will vanish. Prospects will either succeed or not. I don't think anyone is denying Vilardi or glass will be good. But none of these prospects have made it and only time will tell who was the right pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather wait 4 years for an elite number one centre to mature (much like it took Henrik to develop) than have a third line guy in 1 or 2 years. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, although I hate to see us lose, and being bad, I am probably glad that we are going to suck another year, with the hope of landing a franchise defence man. I also wanted us to get some toughness, and even a few scores, but JB know better than me, so.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least next year is a stronger draft year, where we can maybe get a number 1 Dman if the lotto doesn't screw is again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to be top 5 bad again though so a top 10 pick in a deep draft will be nice. We are still a few pieces away from being a legit up and coming team.

I see Peterson as having the elite skill set needed to be a top flight number one centre. Vilardi and Glass belong to our competition, so I hate them now, and hope they bust. Go Canucks Go!

Got caught in a blizzard, and all those "snow flakes" changed me. No, I was high on Glass too, but saw him as a tweener (2 or 3). Not a one. I don't think Vilardi is a centre at all in the NHL. Petersson is the only guy, other than the top two, with number one centre elite skills. Heck I think Petersson is more skilled than the top two guys too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how Petterson is a slick playmaker and I see his ceiling being a Backstrom type....I think Vilardi will be back at centre next year. Steal of a pick for LA...
