Can we not outright sign undrafted players? didnt Detroit do that with the undersized D man from victoria who was on team Canada at the WJC before. Cant recall his name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Ahhhh....... so much talent passed with that 3rd rounder. I hope they like what they saw in Lockwood. I mean Day, Bitten, Fox, Dineen were all available. These guys at times were ranked in the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niell was a cool pick last year, but is Mckenzie really better than Sokolov/Kuznetsov/Ronning? We haven't been taking chances on any players that have issues playing defense. All these players are big, strong and defensively solid. Perhaps they don't fit benning and cos vision for the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not your average small, weak, undersized player. He plays with an edge and is tenacious. Although he does need to get bigger, I welcome him with open arms. I'd rate this draft a 7, 7.5/10.

Rush17 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 St Louis is gonna nab Ronning. They have 2 picks left. (Including the last in the draft) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I trust benning. I trust his drafting ability and the picks that he made. But my god what a boring draft. Seems like we took the safe pick every time. Wouldn't mind seeing a big offensive player chosen as a low risk high reward. I think my favorite pick was the stukel kid.

R3aL Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Overall - I feel a little empty. after such a painful season this is the day that's suppose to relieve our pain and sadness and give us hope. but I'm not left with that feeling. little disappointed, but I've come to like the Juolevi pick and the rest seem just like depth and long shots so we shall see.

86Viking Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Wish we didnt take so many over agers, I would have thought Benning and his eye for talent could spot some younger first year draft eligibile players. I would have like to see Ronning and one of the Russians but its done now. Off to see what we can lure in during FA! Ronning a Ranger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse case u waive him or expose him to expansion draft. Had a foot injury early early last season. Probably ant gonna happen though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Despite not having a pick in the first 2 rounds, the Rangers got Day and Ronning. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroCanuck Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Why would the Canucks who openly showed interest in Ty pass up on him at least three times and watch him go 201. Did they just miss him on their sheet? Ronning was expected to go around 100 and fell to 200. Genuinely surprised Benning didn't select him. You have to feel bad for the kid. Overall though a very good draft for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally. I like the home run, or massive whiff picks here and there also. The Blackhawks getting DeBrincat scares the crap out of me, thos are the picks that take some gutts.
