Why not land both? Both look like solid #2/3 defencemen and we have a good chance of getting them. Then we can go all-in next year with our picks and draft that #1!

I really like Cal Foote for next year's draft. I know it already looks like:

  1. Patrick
  2. Liljegren
  3. Comtois
  4. Yamamoto
  5. Tippett
  6. Vesalainen
  7. Vilardi
  8. Kostin
  9. Hague
  10. Tolvanen

But I think Foote could start being in the mix for top 20, if not top 10 soon.

 

Cal Foote's been a special player in the Kelowna Rockets system. Drafting his tutor, Johansen, would benefit the Canucks down the road.

I have Foote in the top 5 so far. He's the second best defenseman in the draft right now

 

 

Good stuff! He's a great player, and he always seems to be in the right place at the right time because he gets himself there early. Love those instincts offensively and defensively.

Not to mention he has size 16 feet and is already a beast. Imagine if he grows to be 6'5/6'6

I'll be happy with whoever we take with our first but prefer them not to be American. I'm all about diversity but we have our Americans already. So if we get the first oa I would hope JB would try a trade with Arizona for Strome 

in my opinion Strome will be anywhere from , as good as Matthews.

, to better. 

also I think  the guy with the alf fettish should stop talking in the third person like a douchecanoe

Overhype much.......

I wouldn't say so... If you look at their tools and hockey IQ it's totally feasible. Neither of them are undersized or slow enough to hinder them at the next level, and they seem to thrive under pressure...so yeah, as a potential ceiling I don't think a #2/3 is unreasonable. They won't be the main pillar, but DAMN they'd make a good supporting cast

I put him on "Ignore"

 

It's the first time I've ever done that to anyone, and it has made the draft thread a lot better. I recommend trying it. He's just a troll, you know.

2/3 get drafted in the top 10 of the draft. They do not get passed over 3 times or are ranked to get in the second round.

 

and before you say Keith was a 2nd round pick, he wasn't 5'9 and 170 (which is generous)

I agree about Alf. But I disagree with your view on Americans. I think we take the BPA regardless of nationality. Also disagree with your choice of chirp. Douchecanoe? Really. Is that original? Who says that?

Apparently Canadians challenging the banal lifestyle that so many have fallen prey to.

Chychrun hasn't improved his offensive production from last season. Why isn't this a concern?

I just looked back at the stats of Doughty and Pietrangelo before they were drafted, and they never improved either. So is it not really an issue?

 

I don't know why but I keep getting the feeling that Chychrun will have an underwhelming career. Maybe it's just because I don't like prospects who are overhyped for their size.

I have had the urge to do the same. Been holding off because like you I have never had to do that with anyone. Its not just his trolling that annoys me, it's the 100 posts he makes every day. He posts in every thread from Canucks talk to Off topic. You can't escape him.

Favourite underrated prospect in this years draft is Cameron Morrison. August birthday, more than a point per game in the USHL, heading to Notre Dame.

http://thehockeywriters.com/ushl-feeling-the-wrath-of-2016-nhl-draft-prospect/

Aggregate ranking of 47, ranked from 33 to 76, most recently 40 by Craig Button

 

Would love to get him with the 63rd pick.
