Wouldn't it be just the Canucks luck that they trade him and he has success somewhere else. That's what concerns me about trading Goldobin as well. I can't recall what Pettersson and Eriksson line looked like that last year. Is Loui a possibility to play on his line again something Green would be open to? He looks like a different player when he's motivated. So, is the problem Green? Eriksson's had countless chances in the top 6 with multiple players, under two different coaches and failed to maintain his spot there. If you don't perform under numerous chances and multiple coaches, you can't blame the coach IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Hughes - Seider would be a great pairing some day. Hughes would be free to wheel around, making plays, being offensive, without worry of pinching or getting caught up ice, while Seider would hold the fort, shut down Dman like a wall in front of Markstrom. Seider is also a big dude who can really skate. He just turned 18 a few weeks ago and could probably play in the NHL next year sometime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping for a miracle that jumps out and gifts the Canucks a 12-16 pick, so they can snatch one of those great forwards as well. One can dream eh? Can't see us taking at D at 10 with so many good and higher ranked forwards likely to still be available. But I agree, I'd love to add another 10-20 pick and grab one of the D available in that range as well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering JB seems to have a leaning towards dmen (Juolevi and apparently he preferred Maker over Pettersson), I'm not 100% sure he picks a FW. My preference would be a C that can translate to a W if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you consider the chances someone ahead of us drafts someone unexpected, and yet another forward we have ranked top 9, falls.

Silky mitts Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 This is one of the first drafts where I really can’t narrow down who we will take or what pick I even want . It’s wide open , I’ll trust our scouting to get the BPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my somewhat realistic dream scenario I’d love for us to package some vets and B prospects to land another first in the late teens to mid twenties to take a D man. I agree there’s just too many good forwards in our range for us to pass on. Walking out of the draft with one of Boldy/Krebs/Caufield/Zegras at 10, and Seider/Soderstrom/York/Broberg with a second first would be absolutely amazing.

I think the problem with Eriksson was the expectations put on him when he was signed. He lost confidence and was unable to regain any footing here. Every year I think he could score 20-30, and every year he looks like the same player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent events has Lucic being open to play for VAN in the near future and Eriksson not in agreement with coach Green. EDM would save on the 1 year of the contract (Lucic w/ 4 yrs @ $6M vs Eriksson w/ 3 yrs @ $6M) and VAN would jump up two spots, guaranteeing that one of the top-rated forwards are available. Hughes/Kakko/Byram form the top 3. That would mean that one of Dach/Turcotte/Boldy/Cozens/Podkolzin would be available for the Canucks as pick 8 should VAN and EDM swap picks as proposed. Is it really worth taking a year extra of a sinking contract to move up 2 spots? Before the season ended there were talk of a top 3-4 and then an average to good bunch down to 12-15... I wonder if we are getting in to Territory where posters are prepared to do silly things just for the sake of it. Eriksson has 3 more years. Maybe just maybe he can be moved next year, and we don’t really need to be hampered by these anchors for longer than necessary. If we really are prepared to take an anchor contract, next year would be better, when Eriksson and his modified contract could make him easier to move i a deal for a good pick together with an anchor contract. I just don’t see value in trading for Lucic just to move up too spots... as there most likely will be as good a pick at 10 as 8.... if we could add a pick in the top two rounds instead, as part of a deal, while we keep the 10OA I’d listen.

Nucker 67 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 EDM will have to deal with Lucic. Why should the Canucks rescue them? Say EDM has Boldy lined up to draft at #8. Is Boldy really going to be a better NHLer than Broberg or Soderstrom? Moving up 2 spots doesn't matter all that much, but it is bloody expensive. I would rather Benning make some trades to acquire an extra mid-late 1st or high 2nd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post R.Dahlin26 Posted May 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2019 Moritz Seider looks like the real deal. 18 years old at the WC and is playing like a seasoned vet. Impressive in all zones. Smart and great skater for a 6'4 player. Hard to not think of a Hughes-Seider pairing. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
