SuperJr Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 When the Canucks are up to pick 10th overall, and both Caufield and Podkolzin are still on the board, who would you rather us take? Caufield or Podkolzin? Podkolzin was labeled as a cant miss prospect just behind Hughes and Kakko, suddenly saw its stock dropped out of top 3, then top 5, now suddenly on some list out of the top 10. On the opposite end, we have Caufield who wasnt event consider a 1st round pick early in the year who have soared up the ranking top a top 10 ranking and some have him in the top 5. Which player would you take a chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Fingers Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 So...... I doubt Podz drops to 10, but if he is there, I would be very hesitant to pass on him. Not the same level and the rankings beyond the top 2 are going to be variable and very hard to predict. Wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 benning loves players who can shoot the puck. virtanen, mccann, boeser, pettersson ... their shots were major draws for him. I bet he takes caufield if he gets the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEGCanuck Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 At ten I would be inclined to take the best skater, who has the best character available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCanuck94 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Haven't seen too much of him, but if Podkolzin has as high as a skillset as many state, there's no way we could pass on him, we should be drafting the highest skillset possible, period.

kenhodgejr Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I would pass on both and take Victor Soderstrom. Has Lidstrom type upside, plays mistake free hockey and projects as a top 4 RD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 No and No. Soderstrom or Broberg yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artemchubarov Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Who cares? I only care about players currently playing. Most draft picks are busts anyway. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomatoes11 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I wouldn’t mind either but I prefer Broberg or hope byram somehow falls to us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 In this hypothetical, if it was between the two, I'd easily take Podkolzin. Even if he doesn't hit his ceiling of being a surefire top six stud, he has the necessary tools to become a very useful complementary/role player. Caufield has the biggest potential to become elite but if it isn't producing offensively, there isn't a whole lot to his game outside of scoring to contribute to. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaku Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 If these are the only two options -Podkolzin. Cole Caufield worries me. He's small but he's slow for his size. Podkolzin is a pitbull, high end offensive awareness, great two-way game and lightning quick hands. He also has the knack for showing up in big games. 6'1, 190lbs. Good size, will fill out more and add muscle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 No way I'm drafting a guy even smaller than Little Johnny... Podkolzin oozes high end talent. If he's available at 10 I run to the podium. Could be the next Jim Benning steal of the draft. If Podkolzin is sitting there at 7 or 8 I can already hear Benning saying "Why isn't anyone taking Podkolzin?" 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Frankly I doubt either are available. Podkolzin and Boldy just seem like the perfect players to complement what we have. I really don't worry to much about size and suspect someone will take Caufield before we do. That kind of skill would be great to get and we need a lot more of it. I see Pod and Boldy as the perfect guys that could slot in on one of our top 2 lines, Caufield looks like a guy you need to build a line around. Couldn't really play him with Brock and Pettey, and Bo gets a lot of tough matchups. Fun problem to have. I hope one of the three slides to us.

Pete M Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Broberg was a big part of the gold winning team...can't ignore that or can't go wrong with that at 10...unless he is another bust (lol)..."D" wins championships...our "D" is sad at the moment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Can pick Lafriener or Raymond next year if we are lucky...unless, the team makes the playoffs next year, which is 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyking8888 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I like Newhook ,Zegras at 10. I don't really like Caufield or Podkolzin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
