Bandwagon38 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I am not saying he will ever play a game in the NHL but Ty was selected a few spots after our very last pick. Why would you not end your draft with a great hometown story and draft Cliff's kid? We selected 1 known player in Joulevi and the rest are all long shots! Why not Ty?

Vinny in Vancouver Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 OK draft. Our 'D' is set for both the near-term and the future. We got Gudbranson for now and Juolevi for later. I like Lockwood - he's our Burrows replacement (skilled pest). Abols is a known quantity that the team wanted last year already. Stukel is a major project that possesses one of Benning's favourite traits: skating ability. I don't really know much about the other prospects.

I mean Day, Bitten, Fox, Dineen were all available. These guys at times were ranked in the 2nd round. wasnt luke green available too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup decent pickups for sure. Really thought Ronning would go earlier, seeing how smaller players are making impacts on nhl teams. Doesnt surprise me benning didnt take him, has not take a sub 6ft guy i dont think. or maybe like 5-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Because Benning and the scouting staff were higher on the guy we drafted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty is likely not going to succeed in our division, he's much more suited to the eastern conference and the wide open fast offensive hockey out there.

I actually like the picks made but think that skating can be worked on. Just surprised that the Canucks showed interest in the kid and then didn't pick him even though he fell to the seventh round.

Cowichan Canuck Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Olli Juolevi William Lockwood Cole Candella Jakub Stukel Rodrigo Abols Brett McKenzie Not sure how I feel about this, but my opinion on these players is ignorant after Juolevi.

You and your crystal ball have determined all of Benning's picks are busts less than 24 hours after he selected them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try looking at it like we drafted Juolevi and Gudbranson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
