TheSnipeshow91 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I think Kyle Connor is better than Barzal. He's big and fast. He might not have Barzals skill but he's smart and possess a great shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharbinder Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Been looking at some 2nd/3rd round defence men , after all the Roy/Anderson/Kylington's have been taken in the 1st . I would love us to take a look at "Gustav Bouramman" , amoung Pilon/Carlo/Chabot . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Been looking at some 2nd/3rd round defence men , after all the Roy/Anderson/Kylington's have been taken in the 1st . I would love us to take a look at "Gustav Bouramman" , amoung Pilon/Carlo/Chabot . We don't have a 3rd, and I could see better players available in the 2nd round.

Baer. Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Gabriel Carlsson has been ranked as high as 25 by ISS, and could be a good pick in the 2nd. Lots of depth this draft and I'm excited for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Wish we had a third though. or another second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Do we have two 5th rounders? I think we have NYR 5th from the deal for Diaz. We also have no 7th right? 1,2,4,5,5,6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 If Gm JB is willing to ask players with NTC to waive I don't think he's worried about trading his own UFA signings. As he has said- if it improves the team he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks1219 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Here are the top-30 listed by the ISS and Hockeyprospect.com for the month of January. Of note is the Hockeyprospect.com ranking where Barzal and Rantanen are in the middle of the round. I don't know if I buy it, but they are doing more than I am so I can't really criticize.

Gaudette Celly Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 mynhldraft had us picking Pastrnak at one point last year, and Konecny this year. Must think we like skilled and smallish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asian player Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I don't think we can go wrong with picking anybody in the first round, unless somebody like Strome falls and we let him slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks1219 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 that ISS list is a little wonky Yeah. Marner has been God-level but he is ranked one spot behind Barzal who has played just 16 games this season. Lawson Crouse is on pace for 53 points (37g, 16a) in a full 68-game OHL season, which is good but certainly not "elite", and he is listed as the best prospect behind the two generational talents.

UFCanuck Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Trade up to get Kylington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Trading up, same as acquiring higher picks, is going to be very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some later 1sts can be had, and 2nd rounders should be available as well. Many great players will trickle through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Looking at the 2003 draft gives some perspective on what can happen in a deep draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks1219 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Looking at the 2003 draft gives some perspective on what can happen in a deep draft. Or you can look at the 1999 draft. Via Wikipedia: According to Sports Illustrated and other sports news agencies, at the time the 1999 draft was considered one of the deepest in talent in years, headed by Patrik Stefan and the Sedin twins. However, the overall impact in the NHL hasn't matched those of the neighboring drafts. An example of this one is how many first round picks have played the equivalent of an entire regular season ten seasons after the 1999 draft; only 16 out of 28 first round picks in 1999 have played 82 NHL games, while the same statistic applies to 23 out of 27 players in 1998 and 21 out of 30 players in 2000. In addition, while the Sedin twins have excelled in the NHL, only two of the other 26 first-round picks (Barret Jackman and Martin Havlat) are still active in the NHL 15 years after the draft. Thank goodness for Burke working his magic that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Both of those rankings don't have Anthony Beauvillier, wow. He's ripping it up in the QMJHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdgraham Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Kinda off topic but if I had the 1st overall I wouldn't pick mcdavid Everyone of his goals is Deking the defense and Deking the goalie for a tap in Or a wrap around Those goals don't translate to the nhl I've yet to see him take a decent shot from far out and pick a corner He's going to get owned in the nhl especially because of his size and his name It's amazing what Crosby does on a game to game basis considering how people are all over him I hope Edmonton picks him cuz it's exactly the type of player they don't need stupidest thing I've heard all day! for real? well just remember you said this when he's tearing up the nhl and proving you terribly wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdgraham Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 and what do you mean those goals don't translate? you know people score nice goals in the nhl to right? not to mention he does actually have a very good shot and its funny you only bring up goals, when its his incredible vision and passing/speed that are his best tools, which last time i checked translate to the nhl very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
