If Zegras is gone at 9 then chances are Krebs, Boldy, Broberg, Soderstrom, Newhook, and Caufield are all available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem to use his team mates well on the rush. Kaliyev - Puts in minimal effort, not overly competitive. Has a great shot, but a questionable D-game. Seems to rely on others to put himself in a scoring position. Which Canucks players are they compared to? I don't really want either of these players at #10-12 (lol) Not 100% sure but would think both play in the U18 tourny coming up, should be interesting.

You just lift up their hair, read the number and, "ok, this guy is an 89.13, so of course we take him ahead of a guy who is only an 89.12". Yeah. I'm not an objective thing. I'm a person. But there is a number on my forehead. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Dahlin26 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 These prospects should be gone by the time the Canucks pick 1. Hughes 2. Kakko 3. Byram 4. Podkozin 5. Dach 6. Cozens 7. Turcotte Would leave one of Zegras, Boldy, Krebs, Soderstrom Caufield for us even with worst-case scenario of picking 11/12. Soderstrom would be an excellent choice IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I like Soderstrom as well. He reminds me of Juolevi, in that he's a smooth excellent skater, plays a responsible game, always in good position. He's also a RD, which the Canucks desperately need. I have Soderstrom over Broberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JB looks at all options, no matter where we pick. I'm just holding out hope for 1 or 2. I think Hughes and Kakko will play in the NHL next season, and both play well. Byram is likely a couple years away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an automatic that we would take Byram, but is he the best player at #3? Not a whole lot is known of Podkolzin, but from what I've seen and read, he is an electrifying player with size and speed, and he plays a fierce game. Size, speed, hockey IQ - he's got it all. So, Byram, is he more of a positional need? Is he just being hyped right now because of this team's playoff success? Turcotte could even turn out to be the 3rd best player of this Draft.

D.B Cooper Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I go to a $&!#load of Giants games. Personally, with top 3, I stay away from Byram. We already have a top prospect dman who plays the rover instead of defence. He is caught out of position all the time. It’s almost funny to watch. Go with a forward and draft D in the later rounds.

I think Byram is the third best player available, could be a a #1 D in the NHL. Too risky taking a Russian at three. Byram's got 10 points in 8 playoff games and is a +9. No holes in his game and is clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get either (just a guess on the players available): 1 - Hughes 2 - Kakko 3 - Byram/Podkolzin 9 - Zegras 10 - Boldy 11 - Caufield 12 - Newhook Zegras kind of reminds me of Marchand.

He's of one of my favourites in this draft and would be an exciting pick for us.But I love Boldy. It would be like having a left-handed Mark Stone to play with Petey and Boes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 #1 Hughes #2 Kakko #3 I'd take Byram, but do think Turcotte is a JB type pick #9 I could see one of Dach, Cozens, Krebs, Zegras be available. Take them if they are. #10/11 Take whoever falls, if anyone. If nobody falls, I think we take a shot with Caufiled as a forward. He has scored goals at a crazy pace at evert level he has played at. If we go D, I like Broberg. We will need some size, and he is very mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not sure he's got the grit to back it up, like Marchand. He's like 155-160 and I find he's not that stable on his skates, gets bumped off the puck a lot. Got pretty good point totals though. Is that from playing with Hughes? I haven't seen enough of Zegras to know, but this was just my first impression of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
