[Draft] VAN selects Jared McCann 24th Overall

So basically we're all in on "toughness" and "compete level", and we don't care about high end skill? That seems like it'll work out great.

It's working fine for LA.

Skill can be filled through free agency. People realize a team isn't built entirely out of draft picks right?

Benning and his scouts have picked players that fit in place with the scouting ratings.

Big,strong and skilled is the name of JB's game.

Great pick at #24.

He's played on a couple "Team Canada" teams with Virtanen and roomed with him once.

He said to the effect he was happy to know Virtanen is a Canuck as well (interviewed on team 1040).

He also said he plays a style similar to Kesler. Didn't seem unhappy to me.

What part of McCann and Virtanen having cannons of shots and +++ speed and skating makes you think we're going for "toughness and intangibles"?

There are still guys like Brayden point who are high skill guy available in the 2nd- 7th rounds. IN the FIrst round you pick the players that you think you can build a team around.

Shinkaruk - Horvat - Kassian

Jensen - McCaan - Virtanen

Gaunce - Cassels -

Just need a solid winger with one of our seconds or third to fill in the final hole.

Fox could be decent but the odds are against him. I hope we get a solid pick with the next 3. Lemiuex hopefully.

Don't count out any gems found in the mid and late rounds.

We should draft McKowen at 36 if he falls.

To be fair to McCann, I wouldn't want to wear that stupid VANCOUVER WE ARE VANCOUVER FROM VANCOUVER jersey either.

@rollingpucks Honestly, that's just how he talks, haha. Interviewed him a lot this past year.

@ryandittrick He just looked uncomfortable and probably incredibly nervous.

@rollingpucks For sure. He's a little self-conscious. Not a bad thing; he's a terrific player.
