dbark95 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Don't forget we were Northwest Division champions for what 5/6 seasons. Cant win every draft when you are a 20th or above pick. You won't steal them all. So our prospect pool is pretty damn good considering. Hate when you are on an NHL page and the comments by non Canucks fan state we have NO, zero, nada, zilch for prospects. We are probably in about 8-15th in the league for prospect depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Depth is there but no 1st line center potential, defence is still weak as ever. Corrado, Hutton are the only ones that look like they have a possible future top 4 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William_Clarkson Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Center is really deep, but lacks someone who looks like a future 1st line center. Wings are okay, better when you consider Kassian as well. Defense is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyLow_ Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Not sure why Kass is being mentioned, he's not a prospect. Our prospect depth is pretty average now, not deep by any means but we're starting to get contributions and should get more from prospects next season. We should be able to have sustained propect contributions moving forward which is definitely a good thing. Defense isn't that bad, we've got Corrado, Hutton, Cederholm coming with possiblities of Subban, Mcnally, and role players like Tommernes that could see time. That's more than I can say about our winger depth, though I expect we'll be using the boston model of having 5 or 6 centers in the line up and playing some on wing.

FlyLow_ Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 There are a couple big americans that would really improve our defensive depth that should be available for our next 2 picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whale Tail Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hopefully draft some promising D in our later draft picks tomorrow and stockpile a few of them for the team. In all honesty I wouldn't mind having a rough season next year just to try and secure a future #1 center to build around for the future. It Doesn't have to be #1 next year. Unless of course Benning picks a hidden gem who can become a #1 or can pull off an incredible trade for one. It is just easier to draft than trade for #1 potential centers usually.
