  1. benning and crew probably have a case by case approach for each draft scenario and have it down to an art form on who their selection will be. such presentatio and polish so far, good job NHL
  2. Got my J&B chilling in a glass, watching the NHL draft boys and girls
  3. the posts are flying fast and furious, good to have a passionate fan base!! Glass please I got 1040 going all day long and have my tab and phone for updates haha....
  4. No thanks to Rasmussen please but this is Benning, what do I know
  5. everyone working this afternoon will be using their stealth blutooth headphones hey haha
  6. OMG it's draft day!!! The day we have been waiting for and it only took 435 pages to get here haha.... minus around 20 pages of griping about taking JV over Nylander and Ehlers.... I like our options we have at 5, if Benning takes a C then life is good but that pick will still be scrutinized for 4 years or so, if he takes a D then watch out, unless it is Makar then life is good too haha...
  7. I wonder who they are inquiring about there.... inquiring minds would like to know
  8. Benning taking questions live right now and says he has it down to 3 or 4 players he wants at 5. Not saying who though. 1 has to be Glass but I am not sure who the other 2 might be. (edit. Did say Vilardi so he is another 1)
  9. Sorry dude, not trying to dump on your post here but you are wrong on Juolevi playing average in the OHL last year. His coach knew how good Juolevi is and had him playing with a rookie to even out his D corps as he knew Olli could shoulder the load playing with a rookie. His other defensive teammates took a big step forward offensively as well so he wasn't used as much on the top pairing PP unit but he still put up similar numbers to his draft year.
  10. Agree with others, this is the worst ranking lol.... If Vesalainen gets picked 3rd overall I will be laughing out loudest at Rogers Arena haha
  11. I don't think the Tanman will be traded, if anything he should have been traded before the expansion protection lists were given out, Vegas will most likely take more D and G positions and flip them for a potential high draft pick.... It would be insane and I would probably be doing back flips if we somehow managed to pull getting a 2nd 1st round pick but as we are Canucks fans and with our Canucks luck I will settle for the 5th overall and be happy with that
  12. Sportsnets Sam Cosentino just did a mock draft today and had the 3rd pick for the Stars - Heiskanen & 4th to the Avs - Makar. Meanwhile at 5th he projects the Canucks to take Elias Pettersson, followed by Glass and Vilardi being taken 6th and 7th. Here is the link: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/2017-nhl-mock-draft-no-deficiencies-nolan-patricks-game/ 1. NEW JERSEY DEVILS Nico Hischier, Halifax Mooseheads (QMJHL): The Swiss Mister has it all. He can play both ends of the ice, with offensive flair. He’s not quite as dynamic as Ehlers, Drouin or MacKinnon, but at this age, he’s more well-rounded. 2. PHILADELPHIA FLYERS Nolan Patrick, Brandon Wheat Kings (WHL): There are no deficiencies in his game and he can be relied on to play in any situation. Marry the skill with size and include being a right shot, and all the pieces come together. 3. DALLAS STARS Miro Heiskanen, HIFK (Finland): As a two-way defenceman, he processes and executes the game in mistake-free fashion. A growth spurt moved him from the 20-something crowd into top-five territory. 4. COLORADO AVALANCHE Cale Makar, Brooks Bandits (AJHL): Could be considered the most dynamic player in the draft. Makar has elite skating ability and can handle the puck at top speed. Forget the competition, but look closer at his international play and back-to-back national championship appearances and consider he was arguably the best player in the 2017 WJAC and RBC Cup. 5. VANCOUVER CANUCKS Elias Pettersson, Timra (SWE-2): Effective in every offensive situation with a skill set that’s off the charts. Height isn’t the problem, but his slight frame leaves little room to pack on a few more pounds. 6. VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS Cody Glass, Portland Winterhawks (WHL): Has treated several potential mountains as mole hills along his path to becoming an NHL player. Highly motivated with a skill set to match, Glass was amongst the highest risers from the start of the season. 7. ARIZONA COYOTES Gabe Vilardi, Windsor Spitfires (OHL). Few players can control the puck on the wall and down low like Vilardi. He’s got an NHL ready shot and release with a good frame. Vilardi takes to coaching well and has great desire to improve on a daily. 8. BUFFALO SABRES Martin Necas, Brno (CZE): Great skating ability with good stick skills, Necas held his own against men, rarely backing down as a result of a Rolls Royce motor. 9. DETROIT RED WINGS Michael Rasmussen, Tri-City Americans (WHL): He could be mistaken for Captain Serious, but it is that pro mentality that has put him in the conversation as a top-10 pick. Net front presence and sniping ability are omnipresent. Stats are tilted heavily on the power play side of things, however.
