2017 NHL Draft - Chicago, Illinois June 23-24 2017
flickyoursedin replied to hyper00's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
So if Vegas doesn't win the lottery where do they pick? -
We have enough d signed on for next year even if we trade a guy. No point in rushing a kid into an already crowded d corps.

So 161-1 I guess! Go Jays! So excited baseball has started! -

I am a huge fan of Elias Pettersson but I can't see him still on board past 12! If Benning took him around 6-8 I'd be happy with the pick. If he does indeed fall to the early teens I'd love to see Benning trade Tanev for that pick and take him. -

He's a lot better than Juolevi who we took 5th overall! I think a good comparison for Liljigren is a Doughty type. Now that is a ceiling comparison so a lot of things would need to go right like any prospect. I do really like Liljigren and see him still going top 3. However I'm hoping the Canucks get gifted a top forward because the dmen at the top of next years draft look incredible. So Patrick or Hischier this year and Dahlin or Merkley next year! -

Yes they have the same odds as third but if neither Vegas nor the team that finishes 3rd last win one of the lotteries who picks first? Pretty sure in that scenario Vegas picks ahead so that team gets bumped another spot back. -
There is a thing called rankings coming into the draft. The only teams that can feel bad about missing out on Nylander and Ehlers are Vancouver and Carolina because they both ignored hundreds of scouts opinions and went past the consensus picks to take Virtanen and Fleury over Nylander and Ehlers. I'd personally feel better taking the consensus guy and he doesn't pan out right away like Dal Colle then pass the consensus like Nylander and Ehlers. Only to then watch our gamble struggle and the two guys ranked higher at the time look like future 1rst liners.

Again both goals have him on the left side not the right! Jake is a left winger folks it's giving him more net to shoot at and he's actually producing. Hopefully Green has him playing left wing!
-
Unless he really shines in training camp and is a lock for a top 6 spot and at least 14 minutes of ice time would I take him on the big club. If that's not the case I'd send him back to Utica to play 18-20 minutes a game on the top line and top pp unit. He needs to work on his confidence and that's not gonna happen unless you give him good chances to succeed!
-
One could also interpret that last years stats weren't very good considering who they had.
-
Still got high hopes for this kid! He never got a chance to get adjusted after getting traded here. He came over and was benched by WD, then got sick and when he came back he's 15 lbs lighter and out of game shape. I'm excited to see him get a fresh start next year!
-
I can't see Juolevi being rushed to the NHL though and it's either the Canucks or London. Our d corps is too crowded even if we trade one guy this summer. I know it sucks but Juolevi is probably gonna fall victim to the dumb chl age rule (not being eligible for the AHL)

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

I think it's Vilardi's speed and mediocre stats don't have me believing he could become a 1rst line player. I do like Mittelstadt and wouldn't be upset with him around 5th pick but every guy you mentioned I like more then Valardi! Knowing how drafts never go the way I want we'll probably pass on all these guys for Valardi. -

He'd be a pretty good consolation prize. So if the Canucks were ever going to be the worst team in the league and have the best lottery odds next year is the year. -

Yeah this kid would be awesome! Really hoping Benning can trade Tanev and get two really good forward prospects in the top half of the first round. Then don't pull an Edmonton and rush the kids and let the Canucks ship take its course and take Dahlin 1rst overall next year. -

I'm hoping the hockey gods get us next year! The top 2 next year would be going top two this year if they were old enough. I honestly don't see much seperation from the top of this draft. I mean it would be nice to get Patrick or Hischier but there are a lot of guys I like that aren't too far behind them. -

I just don't see a team wanting to trade a young proven centre to start over and draft another guy with uncertainty. If the player is 27+ years old I could see a rebuilding team make that swap but we're not getting an elite 22 year old or younger centre with our pick. I'd take Liljigren at 5, or Pettersson. Button has opened my mind to Necas. Keep the pick and keep the rebuild going. -

I'm hoping for some rebuilding trades at the draft! Like say Pettersson falls to around 12-14 and Benning trades Tanev for that pick +. Walk out of the draft with 2 elite quality prospects. -

I'm with you on this. Next years draft is looking really good. Should have some elite talents in the top 5. -
Definitely playing like he was worth the contract! He looked really solid today!
-
To me he looked a bit lost and turned it over at almost an Edler rate. Definitely the weight loss and break from hockey is effecting his play. Hopefully we get the Goldy back that we saw the first couple games soon!

What does everybody think of Matthew Strome? Is he the Jared Staal of the Strome brothers? The thing I like about him is he's not being carried on his team. He's leading his team in points and goals. Could be a decent look with one of our 2nd rounders. -

Yeah I heard Button on 1040 toss out the Giroux comparison on Necas. Definitely making me take a closer look at him with Button ranking him so highly. -

Yeah next year is looking like a really good year to get a top 5 pick. Some very good high end skill next year. -
Also Jake belongs on the left wing not the right wing. He seems to be more comfortable there.
