Outsiders Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 With the up coming draft people are saying trade up, trade down, stay at 6. I want to know where CDC stands. Advantage to trading up. You get to choose between Reinhart,Ekbald and Bennet You are getting a superstar You are getting a 70-90 point forward or 40-50 point d-man in prime Advantage to trading down Get picks and prospects coming back in the deal Staying at 6 Hope someone in the top 5 fall You don't give up any players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren5556 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I really want Reinhart so if we traded up I'd be really happy but it would of course depend on what had to be given up to acquire that pick. Though if we stay at 6 I wouldn't complain either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Stay or move back. I don't understand when people want trade away more assets for a higher pick in a draft class where there is no superstar player. Ekblad is the closest thing to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 @Soren5556 I really would like Reinhart to. And if we only end up giving a d-man 6th and lower prospect I would be really happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyllenhaal Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I would only trade up if it's for the right price. Staying at 6th seems like the best idea because i think Dal Colle will fall to us. I wouldn't trade down unless its for Fleury or Kapanen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absent Canuck Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I dont think the difference between Ekblad/ Reinhart and Ehlers/Nylander is worth trading much of anything to get. I am fine at #6. I would llke to acquire another pick at #10 to go get Virtanen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckFanForever1123 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I probably wouldn't want to trade down unless we picked up an extra 2015 first from a team who could possibly have a lottery pick. Trading up is a possibility for me as we can use the log jam of center prospects and NHL level 3rd line type players to move up. If something like Gaunce, 6th, + another piece got us up to pick 2, I'm game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehd Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I'm fine with 6th. We're going to get a great player regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand when people want trade away more assets for a higher pick in a draft class where there is no superstar player. Ekblad is the closest thing to it. Would you consider guys like Hall, Duchene and Seguin to not be superstar players? Here are some of the recent top draft picks points-per-game in their draft year. Taylor Hall: 1.85 ppg (1st overall) Sam Reinhart: 1.75 ppg Nathan MacKinnon: 1.70 ppg (1st overall) Tyler Seguin: 1.68ppg (3rd overall) Nikolaj Ehlers: 1.65ppg Leon Draisaitl: 1.64 ppg Sam Bennett: 1.59ppg R. Nugent Hopkins: 1.57ppg (1st overall) Jonathan Huberdeau: 1.56 ppg (3rd overall) Matt Duchene: 1.38ppg (3rd overall) Gabriel Landeskog: 1.25 ppg (2nd overall) People underestimate the skill and potential of the players in the top 4. If you think they're just going to be 2nd line players than you know nothing about this draft. The problem with the draft this year is the depth not the top end talent. If Benning can trade up for the right price to get one of the top 4 then its definitely worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyllenhaal Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Where is Ehlers? 104/63 = 1.65ppg I was just focusing on the top 3 forwards but i will add him to make you happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Benning can trade up for the right price to get one of the top 4 then its definitely worth it. The top 7 imo are pretty good. Other than Ekblad, I don't see a superstar. Reinhart could turn into that superstar but is he worth trading up for? What if he doesn't turn into that top line center? Bennet is undersized. How long till he develops? Draistil lacks foot speed. (If he can improve his speed he's the best player in the draft imo) Dal Colle?? Ehlers is explosive but he's not the type of guy you build your team around. Virtanen is injured. Guaranteed top 9 but there's risk Nylander is small and inconsistent Rithcie is a huge wilcard Perlini is skilled but doesn't engage physically See my point...

We Are All Cynics Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 All I can say is exercise some caution with prospects because there's no guarantee they'll always turn out great. We could end up with a Patrik Stefan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Depends on the cost Depends on the return Depends on who's still available But thankfully this is all being discussed at length in the existing draft thread: 6th Pick: 2014 NHL Entry Draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danaimo Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 This years draft is weak. Next years draft is widely regarded as being the strongest draft year, competing with 2003 in both top end skill and depth. It makes no sense to trade up in a weak year.If the Canucks want to get back to being competitive in the West in a hurry, then they need to stockpile 2015 picks. We will not be competitive next year and possible not 2015-16. I would love to see Linden / Benning trade our 6th overall for 2015 picks.Trading up is indicative of instant gratification. Trading down makes sense if you take a long term view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benchsplinters Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. A very very true saying. Heart throbs often end up being just that - a heart throb at best. There are no guarantees, especially when expectations are far too high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
