Doogie Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) I for one really love the Podkolzin pick, his stock dropped a bit, not sure if it was the Russian factor or his performance this year but I’m glad it did and he fell to us. He checks off all the boxes we needed in our top 6: Size, Speed, Skill and he plays with an edge. However, with the rumours of the Canucks looking to move up in the draft and Ben Kuzma tweeting after Detroit’s pick the Canucks draft table did a mini wave (I’m assuming they were upset). Did the Canucks lose out on their guy, Seider? Edited June 22, 2019 by Doogie 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post koregen Posted June 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) I love the fact they drafted a winger and I'm really liking the pick. My only concern is that he is Russian and the whole run back home to the KHL thing. Perhaps this will be incentive for Tyramkin to make a return. Also, I am so happy that we managed to get Edler re-signed to a very friendly team building contract yesterday. Thanks Edler for sticking with us and thanks to all parties involved to getting this deal done, loosing him for nothing would have been devastating for our back end.

Jester13 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Interesting, if true. If true, I'm glad Detroit took him because I'm stoked we got VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koregen Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Perhaps JB managed to pull of another miracle with this pick at #10, fingers crossed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I think the Canucks would have preferred to take Philip Broberg... he is a big puck handling rushing defenseman and fits their real needs on the blue line. But with the Oilers grabbing him, Benning had no real other choice but to take the BPA his scouts recommended. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Tyramkin was high profile enough for us to give larionov, Bure, mogilny, chubarov etc a ring to get them to call him and sucker him into coming over to our bad team. VP probably is high profile enough for us to pull out all the stops to get him over here. And if we can’t keep him here, blame Benning. Other teams have no problems keeping their kucherovs, tarasenkos, kunetsovs etc. Why should we if our management is competent enough? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post goalie13 Posted June 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2019 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I bet the Canucks had 10 guys on their list and when it was their turn, the took the top one remaining. 1 3 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckster Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 The main reason I like this pick, is that when he comes over, he can drag Groot back with him...... Altho that Boldy was available and I liked that pick better..... but who knows .......throw the dice. when he comes over, we will all be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming to a new country with English as your 2nd language is difficult even for the best, especially when you have the option of going back home and being a star. There have been rumors that perhaps Tyramkin wants to give it another shot, I guess only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Canucks lose out on their guy, Seider? Possibly. They might have taken Seider at 10 and as the lone top RHD I think it was highly likely as a choice, but Detroit shook up the draft by taking him at 6.

koregen Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 There is not much point discussing the picks that got taken ahead of us, because we had a #10 pick. Perhaps Benning tried to deal for a higher pick but to me moving up a few spots was not worth it because we would have to give something back in return.

koregen Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 With the re-signing of Edler and drafting a winger I would now be looking to RFA/trades to utilize our cap space to get another good defense man. Hopefully the Aquillinis can afford it after the recent tax evasion news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 If I had to guess I would think that maybe Seider was a guy they potentially had a deal to trade down for? Maybe they were shocked he went so high? As for "their guy? I think they were high on Zegras and maybe even had Boldy or Caufeld in their sights. I'm thinking they probably thought Podkolzin would be long gone and maybe weren't prepared to take him, but thought BPA was the way to go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post iceman64 Posted June 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) I think JB might have stolen another one, i thought he'd go 5-7 Just that goal against sweden was f'n slick like peteyness. I'm happy with this at 10! Kids got game... Edited June 22, 2019 by iceman64 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koregen Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Pod was looking pretty high in the scouting reports, best part for us is that we really needed to draft a winger and he was still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
