2017 NHL Draft - Chicago, Illinois June 23-24 2017
flickyoursedin replied to hyper00's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Yeah on top of bringing in Lazar it means we would have had to protect him and expose a Baertschi or a Granlund. -
I like Mittelstadt, Valardi and other highly ranked guys as well that I didn't mention I just prefer the four that I did. Right now I see Petterson is ranked in that 8-12ish area but I'm just saying for me I think he's the 4th best prospect.
-
I think we lucked out on Dahlen. I think Jim Benning got a good look at him while he was overseas scouting Elias Petterson. I'm hoping Benning has the same top 4 for the upcoming draft as I do which goes Patrick, Hischier, Liljigren and Petterson.

Virtanen is never gonna be a Todd Bertuzzi. Once people stop trying to look at Virtanen as a guy that should be creating offence and more as a complementary player will they appreciate what he can bring to the team. I think this might be his thought as well and his play suffers from trying to do too much. He's going to be a player thats going to need to rely heavily on the creativity and skill of his line mates much like Lucic benefitting from the skill and passing ability of Krejci, Bergeron, Kopitar and now McDavid. I do still think Virtanen can become a Lucic lite player for us in the future if he's playing with an elite top 6 centre and he realizes his role.

Should be a very interesting year for Utica. If they can also sign Dahlen, Boeser, Gaudette, Zhukenov and a top college free agent that could be a very exciting team. I think I might put Utica right up there with the Canucks in terms of excitement on the youth trend for me anyway.

BURROWS!!! Offseason Canucks trade Dahlen and 1rst round pick for Burrows lol!

Ultimate dream scenario is we land a top 3 get one of Patrick, Hicshier or Liljigren and we trade Tanev for a pick in the teens. Snag Elias Petersson with that pick. He's being ranked around that 10-12 spot right now. I think he should be higher on the boards but sometimes these Euro guys slip a couple spots. -
So excited about this pickup!
-
I don't want to take anything away from the prospects we have and the ones most recently to make the team because the fact that any of them make it to the show is a blessing. However it sure would be nice to have a 1rst year 18 year old kid come in and do what Matthews and Laine have done for their respective teams.

I knew somebody would say Horvat lol. I should have said we could really use a top elite prospects other teams are jealous of outside of Bo Horvat.

2017 NHL Draft - Chicago, Illinois June 23-24 2017

Can you find me any professional scouts mock draft that ranked Juolevi over Tkachuk. I just looked through 15 of them and not one had Juolevi ranked higher. At that time our need was a stud dman prospect and Jim Benning even said he'd be looking for a dman early. However now with Stetcher and Tryamkin showing a lot of promise our need now is for elite forwards. -
Exactly this guy gets it!

2017 NHL Draft - Chicago, Illinois June 23-24 2017
flickyoursedin replied to hyper00's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
I've thought about the nightmare that is drafting for need because I felt like we did that when we drafted Juolevi over Tkachuk. Now that we have Juolevi and some other young guys turning it up like Stetcher, Tryamkin and Hutton I can see management being in the 5 spot and passing on Liljigren because we really need highly skilled forward prospects. -
God I hope so! The Canucks could really use some good prospect luck!

Hoping for a top 3 pick! Patrick, Hischier and Liljigren in that order come on lottery!!! Also adding another pick in the teens for Elias Petterson who I think is being massively overlooked to this point. Leading his mens team in points and almost a ppg is outstanding for the league he plays in for his age. The next Nicklas Backstrom. -

Pompey better get off to a good start here comes Alford! -
Burrows contract is the perfect scenario! Trade him at the deadline for picks then sign him in the summer to a one year deal!

Sadly I'd rather have Carter for one year at 3 million then Smoak for 2 years at 4 mill per. -

Dang I didn't know Cleveland was an even more hitter friendly park! Well I stand by Morales numbers being better. -
Sorry poor wording on my part I meant if he goes back next year then he'll be through 3 years of college. So the debate in his head a year from now is whether to sign or just stick it out for one more year in college and sign wherever he wants. You have a better chance of signing him after 2 years of college as opposed to 3 is essentially what I'm getting at. All the while our minor league team could use him next year as we are pretty shallow in offensive prospects.

Not quite as productive as EE but he is 9 million cheaper a year. Which is the difference of having Pearce in the lineup everyday over a guy like Carrera. Also you got to factor in that EE had a much friendlier home ball park. I think I saw a thing that Morales was top 5 in the league last year for hard contact. I'm really gonna miss Edwin but I'm also excited for Morales and I think people will be surprised how close statistically they'll be by the end of the 2017 season. -
I get that its a more common trend for higher selected players however I wouldn't look at it as a 0% chance of something like this ever happening. Vesey a 3rd rounder just signed with another team and the year before that 4th rounder Mike Rielly signed with another team. I'd say its highly unlikely but I'd never rule something like this out entirely.
