  1. Why we still compare with the Ehlers is confusing, we have another Ehlers like player in Shinkaruk. Virtanen's top ceiling would be a jeff carter on the wing and I'm fine with that
  2. So he left back for Russia already.. I think I heard he'll be back next year (I assume Summer is what they meant) (I was at the ubc rink Thursday)
  3. at the end of all this, it's really Ritchie/Nylander with the the 6th pick at 50/50 Note this: this is a ranking of prospects, and not a mock draft.
  4. Dream on if you think we're close to winning the cup. He's also been assistant coach & associate coach previously
  5. The obvious names I'm seeing from media sources would be 2 of Sheanhan/Tatar/Jurco I would love Almquist
  6. Follow up with Hope Smoke / Corey Pronman / Bob McKenzie's twitter - Ekblad is the only Elite Star prospect out of this bunch of kids. Tell me why Bennett & Reinhart didn't get granted exceptional status either, which said something about the guy since day 1 If Kesler wasnt wanting out I'd take Ekblad in a heartbeat
  7. Drop Cannata to the ECHL for more play time, assign Markstrom & Eriksson to the AHL and Lack/Lindback duo for the Canucks... Mmmm how Swede is that?
  8. "Johnston" doesn't want assistant coach job And I'm just gonna take anything Kevin Weekes say with a grain of salt until further confirmed
  9. after watching what Jeff Carter has done in this post-season I'm leaning on Virtanen, might never be as strong of a goal scorer as Mantha but... yeah.
  10. I think it'd be best for him to adapt to the NA style asap, placing him with the juniors ... not a fan of. Why not give him a head start and start from 3rd line minutes at the AHL? Add on: Imagine Shinkaruk & Nylander building a strong chemistry!
  11. Dal Colle stares at you like an American HS jock as if you were some geeky kid attempting to flirt with his girlfriend. Or it's just his eyebrows. Or... the Edward Cullen-esque. *shivers*
  12. I think even with the desperation many fans on this board have for a top line potential centerman in Reinhart, not moving up may be the best for the Canucks after all. Considering it'll go Ekblad, Reinhart, Bennett... Draisital Dal Colle Nylander Ehlers will all be great additions. providing another pick in the 1st round with a Kesler "move" hopefully before the draft - the 10th pick we could still get Virtanen or Fiala there you can never have enough offensive talent in forwards... I'm hoping Sanheim is on Benning's radar we don't need to take a dmen like Fleury with
  13. Kesler is not getting moved at draft time get with the program haha The only dmen that should be leaving is Garrison and perhaps Tanev if he's demanding too much
  14. Cosensus on possible players that we should pick around 6th now seems like this to me from the past several pages: MDC, Nylander, Draistal
  15. That's cause he doesn't do these rankings for a mock draft genius. He does these in prediction of their potentials and hoe high they'll peak. Look at McKenzie's rankings for mock draft.
  16. trading Kesler to Anaheim might eventually give them a 12-0 win in a hockey game .... not that 9-1 wasn't bad enough anyways, to be serious here. trading kesler to anaheim will be like.. sedins playing against two corey perrys
  17. Yeah? & according to who this is a weak draft now? All them scouters have been saying they're surprised with how most things went and upto the 4th round there will be quality players that could make it to the pro leagues
  18. Supposedly thin and needs to add quite a bit of muscle. Style is Toews like but I think he'd end up as a Brayden Schenn/Mike Richards type perhaps Vinny Lecavalier. Personally I'd take Reinhart just because I feel Bennett is sorta similar to Horvat. Can't go wrong with either. Edit: dont get me wrong with the thin comment, I think he'd turn out as a great player. Cant remember the name of the coach/trainer but I wished all our prospects would join that training program the same one Stamkos Gaunce & CoHo attend
  19. Last heard from Sekeres with his relations to the Canucks org. Nylander dropped down on the list so maybe they're not so high on him. Wonder what Kapanen's character like
  20. Don't get how you guys still think Kesler is still going anywhere All these promises from Linden & Benning about making playoffs this year - there's no way you do that with trading Kesler so stop the Anaheims and Pittsburgh trade fantasies If anyone is gonna be gone by next season opener it's going to be Garrison/Edler/Hansen/Sauve/Schroeder Kesler will be here til trade deadline And in that position trading for a 1st with a much nicer draft year may mean more than getting a 10th in Tuch cause he's definitely one of those guys JB would strongly consider
  21. The way CB has his rankings is by how they eventually turn out as a pro and not a mock draft like many people here on CDC assume Listening to his podcast he found it was hard to compile the first 100 on the list cause there's so much potential this year (in his opinion) He says bob's is more of a mock draft ranking and at the same time shows how prospects rise/drop their stock
  22. Pretty sure they know very well they need an elite skilled scorer
  23. Dal Colle, Virtanen, Kapanen whoever is available
