Either we get one of the top 2 picks or Benning will pick a gem at #9 or #10. Remember we have history at the #9 pick. BO...

Luck is landing first or second overall to take matthews mcdavid eichel or laine. Dont hear many people calling tampa lucking for plucking alot their roster late. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.I.A.H.N Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Ok......silly question here... So at present it is Edmonton 8th, Vancouver 9th So after the lottery, if still in the same position Could Vancouver trade their 9th + their 3rd for the 8th I mean, it probably won't matter to Edmonton in terms of choice But if Vancouver's plan is to move up further, it would help It would be nice to get to 6th OA If we are not getting 1, 2 or 3...I want Dach Edited April 9, 2019 by janisahockeynut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were LUCKY that Boeser fell to us at #23. Remember when Benning kept saying why hasn't anyone taken Boeser? We were LUCKY that nobody was smart enough to scout Pettersson like we did and he fell to us at #5. We were LUCKY that Detroit took Zadina instead of Hughes. That is called LUCK my friend...

Get real canuck fans Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 My guess is that point we got against St. Louis will haunt us. Anaheim moves up in the lottery and we stay put. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know Edmonton will take the wrong player anyways, so no point in helping them out by giving them a 3rd round pick to screw up at #10... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By our scouting team. Yes I totally agree with that. The right hires and preparation is what allowed us to draft such quality players at lower drafting positions. However, we did still need some luck to have those players fall to us, especially Boeser. It was almost an act of God really that Boeser was still available at #23, even Benning couldn't believe it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 3 is nice for home fans since the draft is in Vancouver. But i trust JB. BB was not even top 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwood12 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Like I said before if we move down again in the draft Benning should pick up his chair and throw it across the room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
