scheif16 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 JB and TL finally said the canucks are "rebuilding", but how can we have just 6 draft picks in 2018?! Doesn't really look like a rebuild in my opinion... https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/teams-hold-draft-picks-2018-nhl-trade-deadline/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goalie13 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Just 6 picks in 7 rounds? OMG! It's a disaster! That one missing pick is Pouliot, who JB gave up a 4th round pick for. Sounds like a rebuild supporting pick to me. If the Canucks didn't have a 1st, 2nd or maybe even 3rd round pick, then that would be something. But they do. And since nobody was giving away free 1st round picks for Vanek, I say we're doing just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I get it, the higher the number of pics the better the odds and so forth, but in the end..... It's not about the NUMBER of players you draft - it's about WHO you draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like less than 15% from 3rd round on. Getting guys who are young and you know can play in the league is not a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuckForReal!!! Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I do agree that we need to definitely target some more draft picks before the draft for trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Agreed that the number of draft is not so important. The important is draft quality players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I think what the OP was saying is that the Canucks only have 6 picks this year (compared to NYR who have 6 picks in the first three rounds), when they could've had a lot more if Benning made some good trades. For some reason, Benning wants to hang on to Tanev and Baertschi etc, as he thinks they are foundational pieces. I hope he makes the best of those picks. He needs to knock each one out of the park.

flickyoursedin Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 He’s really gonna have to make the best of the picks he does have because it seems he doesn’t want to make the deals he needs to if he wants extra picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about the NUMBER of players you draft - it's about WHO you draft. It’s actually both. The draft is largely a crap shoot. You can do your due diligence in scouting players. But the bottom line is a lot of highly drafted plates will bust while a few guys who go lower will surprise. Having more irons in the fire isn’t a bad thing.

Ted Lasso Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 We are in good hands. If we get a worthwhile offer, JB will add more picks. Holding out while getting lowball offers (e.g. 2nd & 4th for Gudbranson) means that when he finally does pull the trigger (draft?), it will be for maximum value. He’s always been good at drafting, but he’s currently improving his trades and signings. ... I think I just talked to myself into really liking JB‘s extension, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris12345 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I think JB might move a few assets for picks going into the draft. Grandlund and Baer, Tanev. Not all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Obviously quality over quantity is key BUT the more bullets in the gun you have the better chance you have at hitting your target we need more picks plain and simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notafan Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Not to be a stick in the mud, but based on how well the Canucks do when it comes to the lottery, I suspect it will be another4th/5th pick again. That being said, here is a proposal to chew on: Canucks trade their 1st round pick (#4/5) to Detroit for their 1st (#29/30) + a 2nd (#40) and 6th (#164) 2018. Rationale: #29/30 according to ranking would be Dominik Bokk - who plays with Petterson (last year's #1 pick). Use #40 (2nd) trade to Vegas for their 2nd round pick (#60) and 5th/6th 2019. This gives the Canucks I think a better 1st + they pick up 2 extra picks this year and1 more next year. Should be noted that the next pick is Thomas.
