Would not showing a player that he could be replaced be motivational? A number 4 this year might be a Tkachuk at the worst. yeah, that's exactly what they're doing with Hutton.

Just need a partner for Juolevi long term. Boquist looks pretty tantalizing too. or Body Wilde, maybe drop down in the draft to get one of those? but not too far!! , I am not sold on Boqvist. I want a big tough N american kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously their best prospects - Demko aside (and he's a very young goaltender) - are not in the AHL - Pettersson SweHL, Juolevi Finnish, Gaudette college, and a bunch of picks still in junior.... Their closest to NHL ready players in Utica are not former draft picks - they were acquired by other means - free agency, the trade market, etc. I like Demko, Cassels, Brisebois - but I'm not sure any of them are ready - that's why we have Trent Cull et al.

True a number of the prospects are not yet being developed by the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zadina is a guy I'm not 100% sold on. Can see us picking him up tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what that means but it says something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we should draft any forwards until we have our defense re stocked.Forwards can be signed in free agency, traded for or drafted at a later date. Rarely do Norris trophy candidates become available anywhere but in the draft. Tkachuck is not good enough to pass on one of the Defensemen in this draft. Dahlin, Wilde Bouchard etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahlin, Wilde Bouchard etc Oh believe me I am not advocating for signing anyone, but Dahlin will be #1, but the guaranteed #4 is for the team DFL is, or would be or could be Vancouver's luck in lotteries. Hence a guaranteed pick if DFL. Right now, today, the difference between 4th and 7th pick is a mere 8 points and a tough schedule coming up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhorvat Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Deadlast is very possible for us... 4gms left vs Arizona 2gms left vs Oilers 3 of our last 5 games of the season are against Arizona and Oilers. I checked out our remaining games and we have alot of tough teams to play and many that will be fighting for wildcards.

189lb enforcers? Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 For a chance to get one of Zadina, BT or Boqvist at 4th OA, JB better get his priorities straight by the TDL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie the grim Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 When Gaunce gets back put him with Boesser. Then put Horvat with Ericksson. That should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry I don't agree with these picks I would much rather see a big tough defensive pick first we already have enough softies on the back end to play their role.Bouchard or Wilde would be my picks but everyone has their opinion Big tough Canadian or N american d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, I take skill. Boqvist is compared to Karlsson, but better, they say, at the same age. He’s my first pick for a system devoid of offensive D. But then there’s BT, my ideal forward. And on a wimpy Canucks roster. Also, Zadina with EP would be scary. Who would you take with the 4 OA, assuming the Russian and the big Swede are gone? The rest are not going in any order I can make out so you get to pick one that you like, I guess. I take Boqvist because he’s too good not to take a risk on. At worst, I see Letang, at best Karlsson. Or we get another J Subban too. Prospects, anyone’s guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will beat ARz 3 of the 4 games and do ok vs edm I bet ya lol Doesn't matter if we drop. Fate. The universe or hockey gods decide our fate. We ant promised Dahlin. All we can tank for is a min of a top 4 pick. Got a feeling were gonna grab a Bouchard or Dobson at like 3 or 4 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
