The Canucks could still use 1 or 2 more top D propsects in the system, but hopefully Rathbone and Woo really deliver when they get here. Hey don't forget our future first line winger Shinkaruk or that future top four d-man Corrado..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all in fun so let's pretend the rebuild isn't over and the Canucks still have all their draft picks for the next two years. Hmmm that might give the team as many as 5 top six forwards under 26, 4 top defense men under 30 and two top goalies instead of 3 top six under 26 and 3 just under 30, 3 top defense men under 30 and two top goalies. It would also eliminate 4 of the 9 clause contracts Benning has given out some for declining vets and give staggered cap space too. Sorry to tell you that no matter how good you are at drafting or how many picks you have. In a cap system you have to try to go for it. Try to win now. Or you end up like Winnipeg or Toronto in Cap Hell. I personally feel that it is a good idea now to push for the playoffs. All you have to do is get in, and a few breaks a hot goalie and a team can make it to the final. GOOD JOB JIM BENNING I’m looking forward to this season.

Before this year who has been the best defenceman Benning has acquired? They aren't easy to find my dude that's why you need to draft them What am I twisting? I never mentioned anything about his overall draft record. Quinn Hughes will score over sixty points this year, win the Calder, get nominated for the Norris, and help us get into the playoffs. I know six other teams foolishly passed on Quinn, so he fell into JB’s lap, but it’s still a draft pick.
