missioncanucksfan Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Take this for what it is until ISS churns out their list in Sept. Obviously missing a few names such as; Tkachuk Evan Bouchard Some decent skilled defenders to be had tho but damn are they on the small side. Heres to hoping they grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I know we need D but always take BPA and figure it out later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hortankin Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I've been thinking Dahlin was Russian this whole time! Svechnikov sounds very promising, hopefully we get a top 2 pick if this season ends up as bad as the last 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll never sign here. Plus we need D, with 6/10 top prospects being D it makes sense to pick for need as much as BPA, its probably the same thing anyway if we end up picking in the 5-11 range.

His dad hates Vancouver, he's committed to college, and he won't want to play against his bro in the same division. It would be a horrible waste of a pick. Too bad we didn't get Cliff Pu... it could have been "Woo to Pu" for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckpuckluck1 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Straight up 100% onboard the Rasmus Dahlin train. I doubt anything will change my mind. I know the highlights packages cherry pick the best footage, but wow. The kid looks good. Can you imagine from the net out in 5 or 6 years if the Canucks get this kid? Matched with whats in the system. Make me drool THIS IS THE YEAR PEOPLE, WHEN THE HOCKEY GODS SMILE UPON THIS TEAM COME LOTTERY DAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastsidenuck Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 In my eyes Dahlin is the runaway number 1 right now and if svechnikov isn't available than I would like one of the top dmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I firmly believe we need to select a dman from this draft. If there is a draft that can almost guarantee a dman of a floor of top 2, this is the draft. top 10 is loaded with defencemens. HIgh quality dmans..

flickyoursedin Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Thought the gap between Merkley and Boqvist was smaller. But as it stands right now wow that looks like a good draft year. 2018 draft will be remembered as the year of the dmen! Could be 5+ dmen taken in the top 10!

I know, I know, shouldn't gush over these kids, but this one... Man, oh man. Wow just wow.... Whoever gets to chose Dahlin will be selecting a surefire superstar...

Just think its too risky given the family competition and the college thing, next years pick is too valuable to take the risk on him. He's getting a lot of attention imo in how he's using his size now, against some pretty small opposition. We may also have sufficient grit in Gadjovich and we can always go out and get more in free agency. And with actual top pairing D available.... thats pretty tough to bypass, "BPA" or not.

.Naslund Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Svechnikov and Dahlin are still kind of interchangeable I believe. There is a genuine race for the number one spot this year between the two. Although I absolutely adore Dahlin, dmen usually are harder to project, however Dahlin does fit our team and would most likely give us our first ever true defensive superstar. Let's keep our fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruilin96 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Svechnikov is Russian, he may bolt back to the KHL and use it as a leverage when his ELC is up. I really hope we end up with the #1 pick and get Dahlin as Swedish players usually works out well with Vancouver and we have a strong Swedish personnel in the organization to help him adjust.

bobbyg43 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 The top 2 seem consensus locks picks three # to 6 is where we should be keeping a close eye as our most likely pick is in this range with our luck. D would be the more pressing need and this draft seems to loaded with generational + blue chip 1 an 2 pairing prospects. If the team lucked out An slipped to the number one pick the consensus would be Dahlin he is the true gem of this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobird Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 This will be the thread that gets me through this upcoming season. I loved checking the top prospects profiles and imagining who might be available at our pick last year. Especially with a potentially really deep draft.

TheHockeyNerds Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Man this year is the draft of dmen. Dahlin, Wilde, Hughes, McIsaac, boqvist, Samuelsson, Merkley, Woo and Smith all legitimately have top 15 potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdGenCanuck Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hey everyone! I have been a reader of these threads for several years now but am a first time poster. The Andrei Svechnikov signing with the Barrie Colts has been made official. I am originally from Vancouver, but am now living about 30 minutes south of Barrie, Ontario. I normally get out to quite a few Colts games every year, and now Svechnikov certainly provides more reason to buy tickets! I'll be sure to comment on his play whenever I see him and I look forward to finally contributing to these boards! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
