Knowing the Canuck luck of even if we finish last we'll miss out on Dahlin and Svechnikov. I will agree with you on Merkley. I think Merkley locks in a top 5 spot and we snag him with our pick around 3-5. I mean Merkley or Boqvist would be fantastic additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Veleno and Tkachuk will go high and be very tempting, but I hope JB stays on course and picks some defencemen because we neglected the D in 2017 and are wearing thin again on the blueline. Veleno with elite status would be a very tempting big playmaking top line center, pushing Pettersson and Dahlen to the wings and Horvat at 2C and Sutter at 3C but if Dahlin's available, we take him. Tkachuk would fill out our top-6 nicely too, but again we can't not-take one of these top defencemen. Lets hope JB has some sort of a plan to nab us another top-10 pick. We're almost guaranteed a top-5 pick again this draft anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksander Barkov Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 My first time watching a Dahlin highlight I am impressed he looks like the real deal. The russian kid looks good too but i would not pass on Dahlin. I'm going to lmao if we pick 4th or 5th and JB drafts Tkachuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 It'd be nice to finish last and have the best odds at Dahlin and even if we get passed 2-3 times in the lottery we're still getting a fantastic consolation prize in Svechnikov, Merkley or Boqvist.

After watching some old Orr highlights and then Dahlin's, I got a sense of deja vu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead80 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 How's the centre depth look for 2018? Is Veleno the top guy heading into the season? Tkachuk? Is there much past these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a catastrophically low-no chance we end up with the 1st or 2nd overall pick to get one of Dahlin / Svesnikov. The names you should be getting familiar with are Ryan Merkley, Adam Boqvist, Quinton Hughes, Bode Wilde, Evan Bouchard, & Jett Woo. All of those guys are in the Canucks wheel-house & we just have to watch over the next 11months to see who pushes to the top of the pack. Then get excited to get one of them.

I haven't seen much of him other than highlights, but how good is Veleno right now? I know that he was a star when he was much younger, but is he still considered a star? I love the fact that he's Canadian, but from what I've seen of him, he doesn't seem to be dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podz92 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I've been watching all the highlights I could find of both Dahlin and Boqvist and the one thing that really stands out for me about Dahlin is how physical a defenseman he is. As much as I enjoy Boqvist he is defiantly not in the same class as Dahlin. Decent consolation prize but oh man if we land 1st overall next year I will be a very happy happy man!
