Necas had 15 points in 41 games with HC Kometa this year?... Maybe I'm missing something but that stat line is none too impressive.

He's not 'fast'. He's not a 180lb waterbug.
For his size I'd say he has slightly above average speed and what he lacks in out right 'GO!' he makes up for with excellent positioning, awareness and ability to read the play.
Again, Malhotra is his upside IMO.
Nothing wrong with that, if he tops out as malhotra that would be great. Every team needs 3rd/4th line grinder/pkers. I like the idea of younger guys growing together as a core for the future.

Agreed, if you take anything from that article, it's this. The guy is a work horse just like Bo and it's part of the reason Bo is blowing away the #3 C ceiling everyone pegged him with. They want to continually get better, they are never satisfied. Vilardi will be a top line center in the league.
This....exactly

Just seems like most articles I've read about him have scouts ranking him 3rd. To be honest the thing that impresses me the most about him is his attitude. Reminds me of horvat in that he's got that drive to succeed, maybe it's more of a gut instinct I've got about him but horvats drive combined with a bigger frame and equal if not better offensive instincts spells success to me.

Seems like most people on here like players other than vilardi based on team need. Been down that road before and IMHO vilardi is bpa after the top 2. He could always be dealt later similar to johansen for jones. I think he's the most likely to become a solid nhler.

What's this "rumour" that the Devils and Flyers are interested in trading down????
TSN NHL insider Darren Dreger joined the TSN1040 afternoon show in Vancouver this afternoon and had a juicy rumor for Vancouver Canucks fans: don’t be surprised if the Devils or Flyers trade down in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
Currently sitting with the 5th overall selection, Canucks president Trevor Linden and general manager Jim Benning would love to be picking 1st or 2nd in the draft, but the sticking point may be the asking price from the draft’s top two teams. Dreger also asserts that the Colorado Avalanche and Arizona Coyotes may also factor into trade discussions, so the Canucks won’t be alone and could find themselves in a bidding war.
When asked what it would take for the Canucks to acquire either pick, Dreger speculates that a package of the 5th overall selection along with a second round pick or top prospect might do the trick, but failed to highlight specific players.

Dreger trolling as usual

I see a lot of people comparing jake to tom wilson. If he ends up like Wilson I'll be thrilled, he's exactly what the canucks need. Size, grit, energy with some scoring touch.

You all know it to be true too

Sure of course there are other factors to consider than a stat line and that's why I'm asking. Imo Glass and Vilardi bring other intangibles like playing a more physical game. Unless Necas is burning up the scoresheet I just don't see why they would have him ahead of those 2
