  1. Wow, I totally agree with how you describe your own comments. We have a lot more in common than I thought.
  2. Did I throw a stone at your beloved Nylander? Closet Leafs fan? You sound like a troll, just trying to get attention. Since when did the Nylander Flamingo have anything to do with the most embarrassing moment in Canucks history? He doesn't even play for the franchise. Please respond to this "like a man".
  3. Yes, don't think he has the hands of Bertuzzi. He's definitely more in the mold of David Backes, Anders Lee and Patrick Maroon - big guys who score garbage goals. Which is something this team absolutely needs.
  4. Here's hoping that he becomes our version of Mats Zuccarello.
  5. If DiPietro continues his solid play into next season, there's a chance that he plays for Team Canada at the WJC and possibly even be a starter.
  6. Yup, chances are that the Canucks BPA list is quite different from all the pundits list.
  7. Agreed, considering he is also going to Vaxjo, which was the best team in the SHL this past season. He will also play with his brother Emil and the same team that Philip Holm played in.
  8. If Benning is going the BPA route for the 33rd pick, based on a number of rankings it looks like these 5 guys are the most popular in that range (and still available): Kole Lind Connor Timmins Jason Robertson Nicholas Hague Maxime Comtois
  9. Here is NBC's coverage of the Canucks pick which feature a lot of the TSN brass. Much better and insightful than SN. First thing Millard from SN says when the Canucks made the pick was "165 pounds". Gee, thanks Darren:
  10. Boy, that has the potential to be a legit first line in the NHL if everyone pans out.
  11. It's because CDC has "name-itis" when it comes to the draft. Basically, they hear a name a few times leading up to the draft and they think that's the guy the team should pick despite never watching these players play live. You will see it more tomorrow in the second and third rounds - more whining about how the Canucks should have taken the familiar name rather than support the team who have professionals that watch these players live on a regular basis.
  12. I'd agree with this. The best part is that the Canucks are guaranteed one of those guys, unless they move down of course. It's an exciting time.
  13. What are you even talking about? I'm just saying it's premature to say that a team is going to have a deeper prospect pool than us when those picks haven't even been made yet. Even then, it would take another 2-3 years to judge.
  14. Quit being so dramatic. Even if they have 12 picks today, hard to believe all 12 of those picks will be legit NHL players.
  15. Nothing wrong with picking Vilardi. If the Canucks come home with either Glass or Vilardi on Friday, I would say that's a win for this franchise.
  16. Great Sportsnet feature on Cody Glass. I would be more than happy if the Canucks selected him on Friday:
  17. Pretty good mock from Button. I see the Canucks taking Vilardi over Glass if he is available.
  18. Nothing against Makar and Heiskanen, but hard to believe they value those guys over the three centres. Then again, I was convinced they would take Tkachuk last year instead of Juolevi.
  19. The way I see it - the Canucks will take Vilardi assuming he is available. If Vilardi is nabbed before the Canucks pick, the question is if they value Pettersson over Glass more?
  20. Haven't really made a decision on who I think the Canucks should draft until now. I'd like us to pick one of the three centres: Glass, Vilardi, Middlestadt. As good as some of the defensemen might be, you take the centre every time. I am sure there will be some solid D-men available at 33 and 55. I'm also not too keen on the idea of drafting Tippett at #5, he sounds like another Virtanen. Finally, if the Canucks can get another mid 1st round pick for either Tanev or Edler, it would be nice to see the Canucks pick up Nick Suzuki.
  21. Gah, so much for the Fall 2017 release date. Really looking forward to this game.
