maybe Benning just wake up from a dream and knew Pittsburg was the one.

Im pretty sure he's just kidding to make us all annoyed.

Horvat with a penally shot…. edit: doesn't score

he has fiala in the top ten

^Don't forget Virtanen I honestly think Detriot will probably pick up Fabbri if his available. I really want the Canucks to draft Virtanen, he's a fast, physical player, with a boomer of a shot and would probably fit well on the 2nd line even if he doesn't fully develop. At worst he's probably a 2nd/3rd twiner because he's physical enough to be a 3rd line grinder but not skilled enough (right now) to be a second liner.

He is 'invisible' but its not in a bad way. Mantha seems to be very sneaky and good at picking the times he choose to stand out. Plus its not a bad quality to have considering that being "invisible" but still being about to impact a game could be a good quality because no one will pay attention to him and them boom he puts up a couple of quick goals. edit: meant to be the first quote of the above post but it didn't show up

^no he needed to play before march 21 , I think

Honestly I think Horvat will start on the second line for the first couple of games(but he will be on the wing). The canucks need someone to player the "shutdown" role for Kesler and Kassian (assuming thats the second line) so they can take some chances in the offensive zone and won't get burned. I can also see Jensen on this line if he does well in the preseason. edit: If Kesler is traded i can see Horvat playing centre but on the third line. I think Mathias or Santorelli will be the second line centre

ok we get it you like ehler, please stop bring up the same point every time we mention him it's getting old and your justing repeating your self .

this had been said like a BILLION TIMES ALREADY

don't think elder will waive his NTC but otherwise you might need to add a prospect like McEnery

here a list in order i want vancouver to draft 1. Ekblad 2. Rienhart 3. Drasilti 4. Bennett 5. MDC 6. Virtanen 7. Ehlers 8. Nylander 9. Richie honestly i would rather the canucks take a "safe' pick than someone like nylander, richie, ehlers. I label these guys Boom/Bust player because they play style ( specially Richie) because lots of players with similar style are busts or they are lacking the "IT' factor. Which is basically a gut feeling but it's been right before.(I thought that that Saad, and Mantha would be a good player and that Gibson would be a NHL starter during there draft year. I have no concrete evidence to prove this but it seems to be right more than it's wrong so... edit: grammar

i highly doubt the canucks will be in the top 15 (hopefully we make the playoffs) but If we aren't in a playoff spot by game 60-70 I think we should give all are young players some games, and try to get a higher draft pick

completely un related but, I would think the canucks draft a centre to replace kesler (assuming he's traded) assuming this happens Van 10 overall some over players/prospects Ana Kesler 6th probably Da colle, Drisiatli, Bennett (if they drops) otherwise Ritchie or Ehlers 10th Virtanen if he's available

I see virtanen as a safe pick who will become a good third liner (at least) or maybe a top 6. Right now i see that canucks prospect pools as above average, so i think they my take a bigger risk on some I.E Ehlers, Nylander,Ritchie

I think calgary will take Bennett or Da Colle both are big body players who fit Trevlings mode of "big body" players, plus the need a number 1/2 centre or top 6 winger to go with Monahan. I see Richie to a team doesn't need him to make a impact right away

does anyone else here thing that Faila will be drafted in the top10? he seems to be having a good iihf world championships and his stock has been on the rise for the last month or so.

ho sang will definitly fall because of that 15 game suspension he receive in the playoffs because it proves the report about him having a crappy attitude weren't just reports

this thread will never end

Virtanen and Nylander have always been my favourites. IMO if we draft nylander he should play in the SEL and play big minutes in every situation or come over to NA and play in the AHL to get adjusted the NHL ice. If we draft virtanen i can see him going back to junior and scoring 50-60 goals and then making the jump to the NHL as a 2/3 line winger who plays on the power play. (given we have the room to add him to the roster) edit: nothing important

just another thing to consider, if we draft a euro he could play in the ahl right away

no way demko is selected that high. maybe in the 10-20 range but diffently not in the top 5

IMO Ehlers is the most likely to drop out of the top ten. There are so many winger this year that the teams looking for centres ad defence man will probably take the players they want earlier, and I can see Detroit (yes detroit) picking Ehlers. Can you image a line with: Mantha Sheahan and Ehlers that would be a deadly first line on many team, if they all turn out that could be deadly. edit: again grammar (i need to go back to english 10 )

The css is ranked on the best players, not who has the must potential . Just incase anyone was wondering

your aren't going to rush the 6th overall pick to play fourth line minutes
