Crowfro Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 6 points is too much to make up with 9 games left. Its probably better off the Canucks bend over like Edmonton to get a higher pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Denial by so many. Go for the draft pic! Edmonton is an example that drafting high is no guarantee but all the same drafting under 10th spot is worth more than going out in the 1st Round. In this franchises entire history it has never done a serious rebuild. Time for that to happen is overdue. All one has to do is watch the depth in many other orgs to realize Van has some serious re-organizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We currently pick 10th We will not drop lower than the 9th pick even finishing at 4 wins and 5 losses If we just miss the playoffs by 1 spot we would pick 11th in the draft and either DAL or PHX would pick 10th If we don't make the playoffs we pick 10th, If we make the playoffs we will pick 15th or hopefully higher. It really makes little difference now! We may as well gun for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THERETOOL Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 why did I even say t hat We just lost all our chances that's what I meant to say. To clarify there is no chance at least we've all kept a sense of humour through this crappy season .. haha .. you guys have made it much more palatable for me !!

Unfortunately they keep blowing all of those chances. The Peg and Nashville are both 3 points back with Nashville holding the tiebreaker over us and then Winnipeg. Or .. haha the Flames make the very same run lots of people on this site think we're going to make and they pass us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrchief Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I know everyone is wanting Virtanen but I think Ehlers is a better pick. That guy can move the puck so well, he just needs to put on 20 lbs but his skating and skill is undeniable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 I have updated the original post to fairly reflect both sides. Whether you want to see how close we are to making the playoffs or how close we are to getting a high draft pick you can check here. Playoff Watch We are currently 4 points back of the final wild card spot of Phoenix but they have 1 game in hand. They play Boston, New York, Pittsburgh, New Jersey, Minnesota, Winnipeg, LA, Edmonton, Columbus, Nashville, San Jose, Dallas. We are currently 1 point back of Dallas but they have 2 games in hand. They play Calgary, Winnipeg(x2), Pittsburgh, Philly, Ottawa, Chicago, Nashville(x2), St.Louis (x2), Washington, Carolina, Tampa, Florida and Phoenix in their remain games. Draft Pick Watch At the highest we had the 8th overall draft pick before the calgary game on march.8th. Because New Jersey is forced to draft 30th we are currently we are sitting in the 10th overall spot. The draft lottery might change our position but it's around that area that we will pick in if we stay there. Calgary (2-1 W) 2 Points New York (7-4 L) Winnipeg (3-2 OT W) 2 Points Wasington, (4-3 L) Florida, (4-3 S/O W) 2 Points Tampa, (4-3 L) Nashville, (2-0 W) 2 Points Buffolo, (4-2 W) 2 Points Minnesota, (5-2 W) 2 Points Colorado, () Anaheim, () New York, () LA, Anaheim, () Colorado, () Edmonton, () Calgary. () Will try to keep updating so far we have fallen down two draft spots and are still in 10th place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I have a feeling Pastrnak will be the next Pavel Demitra. I havent seen his play at all but his name reminds me of Demitra so I shall stick with that lol. Draft Pastrnak. kids gonna be legit even though I know nothing about him :D Its a gut feeling trust me on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6oilGqt91c oh sexy hes gonna be a beast :D i have no idea but I do have a good gut feeling on him. Future captain material maybe lol i donno just thought I would throw in this sick video :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl's Jn Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 In all honesty the Canucks have shot themselves in the foot by playing so bad this calendar year. Even if they string together wins down the stretch Dallas is 4 points ahead with 3 games in hand. Do the math. Vancouver will have to literally win out from here on in and Dallas will have to slide for them to have a chance. Not impossible but I give them a 1% chance at making it. In all due fairness to the fans, a majority don't want to see the Canucks purposely lose games in order to secure a high draft pick and quite frankly I've never heard or a professional sports team that ever has. Enlighten me if any of you have ever heard of it. We as Canuck fans have had such a privilege of having our team make the playoffs nearly every year for a decade and probably have taken it for granted. We have no idea how lucky we are to have had such success. Sure, a cup wasn't won but bein able to even play playoff hockey is a privilege. If you disagree, go talk to Oiler fans and get a good idea of how brutal it is to follow that team. As far as a top 5 pick goes, it's unlikely. There's too many teams that are worse than Vancouver, but with te lottery nothing is impossible. I predict a pick from the 7-10 range. It is what it is. to let you know chicago tanked the season to get kane and toes... also avalanche did to get mckinnon...edmonton is just bad all together because they didn't aquire enough vets to mix with the youth... teams have tanked the season on purpose and has been mentioned before on team 1040. The nhl wants to change that for the conner mcdavid draft making it like the crosby draft.... don't be naive and think this stuff doesn't happen...

Tiger Gino Brash Ryp Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Well at least we'll all be cheering for Nashville today against the stars. Those who want to make the playoffs want Dallas to lose and those who want a higher draft pick want the preds to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
