Canucks Curse Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 What I would like to see is a year where we have like 10 picks like 2 more seconds and an extra 1st or third and then get to pick in the top 1-2 slots overall then rebuild would be complete - like Mtl had 3 2nds this draft and they didn’t go scorched earth full regard rebuild to get that. fingers crossed we move MDZ and Gagner for a 2nd and 3rd at next TDL and draft first overall at our draft in Van next year. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theo5789 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) I feel like I've heard his name a lot in the super series. I didn't realize he's 20 already though. Edit: Just checked, 4 points in 6 games including one player of the game honours for Russia. Edited June 24, 2018 by theo5789 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Manukyan is a long shot. He's got some skill. Let's keep our fingers crossed. He's an overage smurf but there's a 1.7 ppg season in a Russian Junior league in his past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DeNiro Posted June 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2018 Similar to the Zhukenov pick in 2015. A small skilled Russsian that is a boom or bust type. He is actually teammates with Zhukenov interestingly enough, which is why they likely started keeping tabs on him. I have no problem with swinging for the fences in the 6th round. If he doesn't pan out, oh well the odds were low anyways. If he becomes the next Panarin after spending 4 or 5 more years in the KHL, Benning looks like a genius. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 8 hours ago, DollarAndADream said: The guy obviously has a ton of skill, ripping apart that league he was in. 139lbs is something to be concerned about, though. 160lbs, 175, or whatever Pettersson and Gaudreau are, sure. They're fine at that weight. It's very doable in the NHL with a ton of skill. Patrick Kane is light, too. 139 is a low number though. I'm 5'7" and I'm like 180lbs. Although I'm probably 10lbs overweight for my build. 139lbs just sounds super low. I don't know. I'm not holding any judgement until I see this kid in action. He's a super skilled Russian and it's been awhile since the Canucks have had one at the forward position. Who was the last promising one, like Shirokov?

SingleThorn Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 JB seems to have adopted a 'swing for the fences' attitude to his later picks. Starting with Abols then Gunnarsson, Palmu and now Manukyan. Our depth issues are less obvious now and it would be hard to fit all our drafted players into the 50 man roster. Those ELCs can clog up our system for 3 years each. Might as well lean towards the outliers with a high ceiling component to their game. I know I'm looking forward to seeing Kristoffer Gunnarsson ( 0g, 0a ) as much as our new high scoring munchkins !

Gator Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Talk about an accurate shot, and this is from 1 games... wow, I like this pick JB! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerry35 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Seems like a very likeable player and I hope he makes it. This management group loves character guys who work hard and won't give up which is great for the future when you are in the playoffs. That's how the Bruins played in 2011 and why they won.

aqua59 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 21 hours ago, Bitter Melon said: Benning really was serious about the ‘speed and skill’ thing, we haven’t picked one guy yet over six feet. Not complaining, it just shows the direction management is going. Remember when Benning first came over and everyone freaked out he was going to be picking massive goons with little upside like Bittner? Agreed. Watching the draft the emphasis seemed to focus on smaller speedier players. Vancouver went that route and grabbed smaller guys with some jam too.
