Shamu101 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Is it possible for us to snag Ekblad this year If not we can trade wherever our pick trade it along with a player for a top 5 pick to snag Ekblad Defense is key to succeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Would be sweet if a guy like Nylander shinkaruks his way down to us at 11-12th. Ranked 5th or something on iss right now. Might be time to start looking at risk reward guys. Nylander could very well be out of the top 10, and in many lists I see him in the 10-15 slot. He plays in Sweden so it's hard to judge him vs. North America competition, and like many recent drafts the lack of European scouting could mean he falls. I mean in 2012, Filip Forsberg fell to 11th, Hertl to 17th, and Teravainen to 18th. These were all top ranked European skaters, who are now steals with where they went. I assume this is why FLA took Barkov at 2, so they didn't risk missing a steal. However, even if he falls to us at, let's say 10th, and Perlini, Ritchie or Fleury are still available, i'd rather take one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, me too but if those guys are gone I'd rather take a chance on high skill over another 2 way centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lack of Eddie Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I predict that the lowest the Canucks can pick is 7th and the highest would be 12th. I believe only one or two of Virtanen, Kapenen, Nylander, Ehlers, Ritchie, or Barbashev will be available. I'd be fine with any of those picks depending on who would be available and how low we draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I would stay away from Nick Ritchie. That guy screams Kyle Beach v2.0.Beside, we already have "one of those" PWF.Not at all.The main reason why Beach hasn't been able to make it is because he has one hell of a horrible attitude. The guy had major daddy problems growing up, which was a part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Honestly, I would be ecstatic if we get any pick in the top-16 (which seems most likely).In order: Ekblad, Reinhart, Bennett, Draisaitl, Virtanen, Perlini, Dal Colle, Ritchie, Kapanen, Fleury, Ehlers, Nylander, Kempe (severely underrated), Honka, Tuch, and Ho-Sang are all prospects I would be happy with drafting.These are all prospects I really like. The rest I am not too sold on.Obviously I would prefer the prospect left that's highest on my list, but I wouldn't be upset if we picked any of these guys. I got a good feeling about this drat for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Why would Florida draft Dal Colle over Reinhart? Huberdeau and Barkov are centres of the future. Is Dal Colle a winger? If so why would they keep drafting Centres in Reinhart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like his dad apparently. After the lockout his dad had his best years before the sport got physical again. not what this team needs.

Gaunce Horvat Kassian Jensen Cassels Shinkaruk Fox Grenier seem to be our forward youth pool and all of them either have size and/or some tenacity.. Top end talent is what we're really missing. He may have soft issues but ISS still has him in the top 5, to me that says something. I'd hate to pass on the kid of he fell to us in the 11-15 range only to take yet another 2way centre and watch Nylander become a consistent 90 point player.

Robongo Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 11th No.. 10th because New Jersey forfeits their pick for the 30th overall instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm hoping one of Virtanen or Perlini falls down to us. Both are probably the purest goal scorers in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 No.. 10th because New Jersey forfeits their pick for the 30th overall instead Oh really? I knew they got it back but didn't know it was 30th overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I think we pick 13 just missing the playoffs. With the pick I think we take Jake Virtanen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Horvat Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'd honestly be surprised if Virtanen was still available at 13.As of right now, we pick 12th so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Nashiville, Calgary, Carolina, NYI, and WPG can all pass us if we fizzle out. We'd pick 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 We now have a 1.9% chance at the Playoffs after losing to TBL. DAL has a 60.5% chance at the playoffs PHX has a 53.7% chance at the playoffs Here is the bad one for us TOR has a 84.2% chance at the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua59 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 we don't know if trades in the summer net us more 1st round picks.....if we end up out of the playoffs, we could move up further when the order is picked...i believe we can move up 3 or 4 spots on the roll of the ping pong balls,,,,so if we end up in 24th place, we could up to 3rd or 4th pick.....and if we end up with another 1st rounder we might be able trade up further. I think a lot of people for get there is a lottery system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
