MaxVerstappen33 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Svend barstchi for a 2015 2nd. I like it. He's a 13 over all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awalk Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Looks like Baertschi has some tools to be a top scorer, and was picked high in 2011......but I thought the Canucks were working on building from the draft, and this upcoming draft is one of the deepest in memory, the Canucks are finally being run by someone who knows how to scout, and now we dont have picks in round 2 or 3, rounds proven to provide NHLers...le sigh...

Probably a move similar to getting Clendenning. Get a solid prospect in who is a couple years ahead of what he's giving up. Must be high on Sven.

Definitely seems like it. Now we are seeing a bit of a pattern which points to his strategy and trade style. Benning clearly likes to use picks to bring on project youth.

Not every prospect will be like Horvat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS06 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I don't think Benning is going to sit back and watch 2nd and 3rd round pass by. I would make a substantial bet that he's going to be trading for picks at the draft. Baertschi has potential. 25 pts in 36 games in the A this year. Hasn't really broken into the NHL yet, but we'll see. If we don't replace that 2nd pick then who knows, but he's definitely making us younger. I've heard all year sports radio hosts and analysts bemoaning the fact we don't have any 22-25 year olds. Now we've got another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's generous -- I just checked on hockeydb from 2004-2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
