Apples Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 There's lots of good 5'11" players in the league. He obviously needs to bulk up like most players at this age, but the high end skill is obviously there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apricot Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hunter Shinaruk is the first WHL player drafted by the Canucks since 2008. Last was Prabh Rai 5th round 131st overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Why? Because by the time Shinny is ready Higgins will be at a point where he's either getting moved, or playing permanent 3rd/4th line minutes , leaving a spot in the top 6/9 for a prospect....hmmmm...

SamJamIam Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 No offense to Gaunce, but Horvat's skill with the puck is not comparable to Gaunce's. The guy was an absolute beast in the Memorial Cup playoffs scoring 16 goals for London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 His 5'10. Barely 5'10 1/2. Size can definitely influence teams pick choices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 @DarrenDreger: Holland and Nonis also in a long discussion. Red Wings eager to add a defenceman as well. @DarrenDreger: Holmgren just walked over to Oilers table to speak with MacTavish. Oilers still looking for a d-man. Flyers don't want to trade Coburn..but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Why? Isn't Higgins going to be 3/4 LW? When the kid gets here he'll be taking Booth's position. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 16 goals in 21 playoff games. But said to be most complete player in draft. Bergeron 2.0. Apparently one team had him ranked as high as 4th overal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangelos Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Gaunce is not anywhere as offensively skilled as Horvat. But, thinking about it, having them both means we will be very tough in the middle in a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luongo Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 To be fair, after we picked Gaunce he got even better than I think even we expected and we knew he was a steal at 24th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamJamIam Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Gaunce had more points though. I bet Horvat is good, but to pick him over Nichushkin... i dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
