jagori78 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Does anybody have a link or is able to provide a run-down of the top 20 draft prospects available, what sort of players they are, etc? Normally there is a draft guide, but I can't seem to find anything in depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex the Great Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Canucks talk? As we all know, this is a Canucks only draft. No other team is allowed to make a selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagori78 Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 I love those people that sit here all day long just to let people knowing the thread that its in the wrong place. I guess speculating as to what prospect the Canucks might pick doesn't belong in Canucks talk. What else of consequence is there to talk about this season anyway.

Ossi Vaananen Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Here's my run down of the top 15. It got buried in the last thread so I'll try it here: I've broken down the top 15 into 3 separate categories based on what I've seen from video and read from scouting reports, and various draft ranking lists. Can't miss NHLers: Aaron Ekblad - top tier defenseman. Size, skating, skill - can grow a full beard at 17 Sam Reinhart - Smartest player in the draft, doesn't have elite skating or shooting but is an excellent passer Michael Dal Colle - Brings everything, he's big with a nice wrist shot and great skating ability Sam Bennett - plays a gritty, hard working game modeled after his hero and GM, Doug Gilmour Leon Draisaitl - The German Gretzky, soft hands with a big body Safe bet, probable NHLers: Jared McCann - Out works opponents, is a standout on an average group of forwards. 2 way center. Kasperi Kapanen - He's FAST, skilled playmaker - plays in the Finnish men's league with his father Jake Virtanen - Talent level is questionable (rated as a B prospect on some lists), but he brings a steady hard working 2 way game. Haydn Fleury - Has decent size, great skater. Only knock is his offensive game. Brendan Perlini - Labeled the best RAW goal scorer, and at this point he is very raw - not much of his game has been rounded out High risk, high reward: Nikolaj Ehlers - skilled winger, and prolific goal scorer - size is the biggest concern as well as defensive game William Nylander - best hands in the draft, he's also undersized. been some concern over his attitude being bumped around 4 teams this year. Nick Ritchie - massive winger, like all big guys needs consistency. difficult to tell if big junior game can translate to NHL success Ivan Barbashev - two way Russian centre. plays an intelligent game, only question is will he hang around in NA? Alex Tuch - Big, and putting up points in sub par USHL. Plays on a line with Milano and Eichel - both projected as top picks. I'd also rank them in that order. In this respect I'd sooner take a safe bet that one of the riskier players. I mean we need a consolation prize for our crappy year, not a gamble. So if we're not picking in the top 5 I'd rather take McCann or Kapanen over Ehlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEGCanuck Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 It would be interesting to see a list of the top 10 overall best skaters of average or greater size in this year's amateur draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think by them replying, they are promoting wrong section posting and they should be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
