  1. Benning will choose either Nylander or Ehlers at 6th if one of the big 5 don't fall. Quote me on that. he wants to get skilled and faster. We already have some size, and some two-way guys. We need more speed and skill. Yes I heard Ritchie is also good, but I choose the first two I mentioned over big country.
  2. That would be a HELL of a line in the NHL some day. Lets get all three please . Good back and forth with you and elbow. I really enjoyed the convo, good read.
  3. ^^^^^ THIS If this doesn't happen draft Ehlers
  4. One problem. If we draft Nylander we will have the Sedin sisters, and girly mon Nylander on this team. Is that what Benning wants this team to be? JK. I love the Sedins as players, and I'm sure Nylander will grow some facial hair someday.
  5. Wow wtih Virtanen injured it certainly changes the landscape a little.
  6. I have a feeling that Benning will make a bold move also. He needs to put his stamp on this franchise, so why not start off by going big. Bennett would be our future leader for sure. Him, or Reinhart would be awesome.
  7. Personally I hope Ehlers is available and we take him. I just wonder if Benning has a particular player in mind provided 1 of the top 5 don't fall to us. Nylander, Ritchie, Ehlers, and Virtanen are all the same in a sense that they are all excellent choices, but they also bring different skill sets and attributes to the table. Linden mentions that they will pick a player that will be the cornerstone for the franchise. I wonder which style of player they have in mind? As well as the later choices in the draft.
  8. Not sure. Just saw it on HF. Botch mentioned it on twitter as well. Via twitter Quote: Jason Botchford ‏@botchford 23s Linden named maybe six draft prospects he likes. "Virtanen is on our radar." Did not mention ehlers or nylander
  9. Satiar Shah ‏@SatiarShah 18m Linden says Jake Virtanen is on the Canucks radar with the 6th, speaks highly of him. Mentioned Dal Colle as well. Expects surprise picks. Wonder if Benning feels the same.
  10. I'm glad we have Benning running things. This is a good hire by Linden. I wonder who his first ever selection as the Canucks GM will be in this years draft. It will be a defining moment for sure. Gillis drafted Hodgson. Who do you guys think Benning will draft? What kind of player will JB select to start this rebuild/retool? Will he take the Boston approach? Also which other players do you think he is targeting throughout the whole draft. We have been speculating ourselves whom would be the best choice for this team moving forward, but what kind of players is JB looking for? Plus does the future coach and his style play into this at all? Are our core players safe?
  11. This man is a genuine, fantastic person. I watched the whole interview and alsmost got teary eyed myself. Theres a lot of passion there, and I would welcome this individual in this organization with open arms. My favortie part of the interview was from the 19:20 minute on. He has a lot of juice left. I would love to have this man coach the Canucks.
  12. If we managed to get the 10th pick I think I'd draft Ehlers#6, and Tuch#10. Or Nylander#6, and Fiala#10.
  13. We were extremely fortunate to witness that greatness. He was, and always will be the most electrifying player we ever had. I always wished that we could have a player close to what he was again. When we drafted Shinkaruk I jumped out of my seat and yelled for joy, but I don't think he will be as outstanding as Pavel. Ehlers could be the kind of player. Only time will tell.
  14. I hope we draft him if the big 5 aren't available.
  15. This hit is a thing of beauty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEMJ44_IR7k
  16. I'd rather have Ehlers if he's available 10/10 times.
  17. Monahan should have been 9th . I love Horvat though. WTH was Mcphee smoking when he traded Forsberg for Erat?
  18. Lets say he's willing to waive This might be more possible because we're getting a new gm, and he may suggest to Edler that this team is going in a different direction. MG gave him the NTC. Our new gm might be able to move him. This works out great for both teams. Instead of FLA taking Ekblad and waiting a few years for him to be a force they can get Edler right away and he can solidify their blueline. They would also get our 6th. Ehlers will most likely be available in that spot and Tallon has gone on record saying how he loves this guy. Great pickup for them. On the flip side we get our future #1 center. This guy is perfect for the Canucks. Plus he's a BC boy to top it off. This would be a fair trade IMO.
  19. Do you guys think our 6th and Edler can get us the 1st overall? Tallon has a stiify for Ehlers and this might be intincing for FLA.
  20. Ehlers and Drouin connected primarily to eachother (passed it, or passed and scored) on 22 of their points together.
