Patrick Jane Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 If you go to hockey database and look up all of the draft years for the canucks you will see poor choices. 2009- canucks picked Jordan Schroeder never played for the canucks thus far. 2007- first round canucks picked Patrick White and hes has never played for the canucks either. 2000- 1st round pick for canucks Nathan Smith 26 games no points Go to hockey database for canucks draft and look who the canucks couldve got. And plus look at all the 1st rounders canucks traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbro Baggins Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Smith and White were busts, yes. But to say that Schroeder is a bust is just stupid. The guy is like 21 years old, Burrows played his first NHL game when he was around 25 (I'm not sure exactly how old). You have to give prospects time to develop, they usually aren't going to go straight in to the NHL. You can say Schroeder is a bust in about 5 years, come back then.

AV. Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Magnus Paajarvi - 10th overall in 2009 (ranked 2nd in EU skaters) Jordan Schroeder - 22nd overall in 2009 (ranked 5th in NA skaters http://www.tsn.ca/draftcentre/feature/?id=11810 While Paajarvi has seen NHL time and may have been one of the best prospects not in the NHL(at the time), he's struggled. Player development is key. Don't write off Jordan just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dasein Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Mike Gillis took over just prior to the 2008 draft - only 3 seasons ago. It's idiotic to expect a regular roster player on a championship-calibre team where there is maybe one or two roster spots to fight for for. Also, it's idiotic to expect prospects to develop into a roster player under 3 years. 2008 Cody Hodgson - played 8 games in 2010-2011; rookie in 2011-2012 Yann Sauve - played 5 games in 2010-2011 Undrafted Chris Tanev - played 29 games in 2010-2011; 4 games in 2011-2012 Up and coming Eddie Lack - Undrafted Kevin Connauton - 2009 3rd round pick Jordan Schroeder - 2009 1st round pick Anton Rodin - 2009 2nd round pick Bill Sweatt - 2007 2nd round pick (CHI) Joe Cannata - 2009 6th round pick Nicklas Jensen - 2011 1st round pick Joseph LaBate - 2011 4th round pick Frank Corrado - 2011 5th round pick Patrick McNally - 2010 4th round pick David Honzik - 2011 3rd round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Up and coming Eddie Lack - Undrafted Kevin Connauton - 2009 3rd round pick Jordan Schroeder - 2009 1st round pick Anton Rodin - 2009 2nd round pick Bill Sweatt - 2007 2nd round pick (CHI) Joe Cannata - 2009 6th round pick Nicklas Jensen - 2011 1st round pick Joseph LaBate - 2011 4th round pick Frank Corrado - 2011 5th round pick Patrick McNally - 2010 4th round pick David Honzik - 2011 3rd round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJones Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 If you watch Wolves highlights you will quickly see that the Connauton (21), Tanev (22), Lack (24), and Schroeder (21) are all top performers on the team. They are all young and already showing promise at the pro level. I expect them to keep progressing, and similar to Detroit, they will move up through the lineup as they are ready. Top players in the NHL aren't always highly touted or early top performers. Just look at players like Datsyuk, Zetterberg, St Louis, Dan Boyle Tim Thomas, Backstrom, Rafalski, Salming, Oates, Belfour, Peter Statsny , they came from nowhere to be superstars in this league.

Jai604 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Again a call for instituting some kind of post-restriction before new topics can be made..... That is seriously a flawed way to look at our drafting. Sniping a couple of bad drafts, while completely ignoring the years we did well? I could just say that 1999 and 2004 were a great years for us draft-wise and do the same thing in the opposite direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forklift_ole Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 3 picks in 11 years, and one (Schroeder) is exactly where he needs to be (AHL) and another (White) was picked off the boards by a GM (Nonis) who outsmarted himself with the pick, and the third (Smith) was so long ago he could hardly be counted against the current staff. Hell, why not add Dan Woodley, 1986, 7th overall ahead of Briant Leetch. Only played 5 NHL games. Bust! Canucks' scouting sux! Kopitarzzzzz!!! blah blah blah. you sicken me...

Brockbuster Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Chief Scout Ron DeLorme has been here a hundred years. Terrible in the early rounds, (where they are better off just going off central scouting) good in the late rounds. I think he's a good scout but he shouldn't be the head scout.

MoneypuckOverlord Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 weak arguement. Our drafting wasn't very good from the day Brian Burke took over to the day Dave Nonis left. Of course you can also argue, that we Drafted the Sedins, Kesler, Bieska, Edler, Raymond, Schneider under the Nonis/Burke era. BTW, very weak topic, to bring up the past. Schroeder I believe will get his chance too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
