I've mentioned this a few times would be a great pickup for Vancouver if they can get him.

Dahlen was a highly ranked prospect along with a pick for a pool party who has struggled to stay in a weak Edmonton lineup? I think the value is there his 4th overall status only goes so far. Ken Holland also likes his Swedes.

Canucks should've traded dahlen for pool when they still had him. Add a late pick if need be but that should've happened.

I like the tools Jake brings but I'm not sure he will ever have the IQ to be an impact player the way everyone dreams for him to be.

If Chicago retains at least a Million in his salary then it should be considered. His CF for dipped this year but in most year's he's been above 50 percent. I don't think he'd be a huge liability in the defensive zone and he brings some grit. Getting Byram would be massive for the Canucks.

I'm surprised no one in this string mentioned trying to get Mathieu Joseph from them to take on cap. He looks like a sleeper prospect with a offensive upside. Scored well in very few minutes per game this season. Could take a few steps and become the winger we need.

Actually sounds like a really good deal...

Horvat and Granny both will score more closers to 25 maybe horvat cracks close to 30 and Reid Boucher is a wild card. He might put up 20 plus with his cannon in the right situation.

If the canucks fall in the draft because of the lottery and Vilardi is the only option I'm not opposed to packaging the pick with a 3rd for Tyson Jost and a 4th or something around that idea.

If Liljegren goes first it's a win win for vancouver no matter who they select. I think Gabriel Vilardi has the least upside of those 6 and would much rather the canucks take Mittlestadt. That kid brings some serious speed with great hands. I think he'll turn out like McKinnon. A horvat and him combo down the middle is gonna be striking fear into defenders for years to come.

Virtanen's weight was not an issue of him have a party filled summer or because of self control issues. I remember reading GMJB saying that virtanen showed up at that weight on purpose because he thoughts it was what they wanted from him. He thought he had to be heavier to play the power game not thinking how much it slowed his game down. Suddenly he's playing well again at a more comfortable weight and I think judgement is being passed on him way too early. He could very well still pan out into a great top 6 winger.
