TheRussianRocket. Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Few other things JB said: - looking to bring back Richardson if possible - at 23rd overall, Canucks will take the best player available. Have 4-5 guys they've eyeballed there. - says there can be a lot of movement at the draft with cap strapped teams and the salary cap not going up much - gave scouts direction on player criteria and says scouts have improved a lot. - hasn't asked Bieksa to waive his NTC yet. If something comes up then they'll look to do it. And in general, haven't asked any players to waive their NTC yet - "Markstrom is ready to be an NHL goalie" - confirms he'll keep Miller as the experienced guy in net and will decide on who goes from Lack/Markstrom - Market is odd for goalies because teams offer a little for what they want in the goalie - singled out Grenier and praised his improvement in Utica. Says he's positioned himself nicely for a chance to be on the NHL roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucktican Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 "Thinks that it could be a busy year for trades at the draft" - I hope he's hinting at Canucks making a splash at the draft like the previous two. As I expected, it doesn't look like Matthias will be a Canuck next year. Sad now we only have Markstom from the Luongo trade. Also it looks like there will be atleast two prospects making the jump to NHL next year, which is exciting! Really looking forward to the draft! If KB3 is indeed going to get traded, which teams do you think will be interested?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Few other things JB said: - "Markstrom is ready to be an NHL goalie" - confirms he'll keep Miller as the experienced guy little for what they want in the goalie These two quotes make it seem like Eddie is on his way out IMHO. "Markstrom NHL ready" and "Wants Miller as the experienced guy" doesn't make it hard to put 2 & 2 together here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cause JB has his vision of building a team doesn't mean it has to match with yours.It's not as much that as he's contradicting himself at every turn. At this rate I'd rather hear "It's a process," and have him save all the bs. And just because the Canucks are going to go through a predictable downturn while ignoring great draft years it doesn't mean we have to enjoy it.

I think he needs to do less interviews right now. I think he's at 3 this month already. GMs all lie and bullsh*t at this time of year, so of course he is going to contradict himself.

awalk Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 If we draft a forward it better be a RW. We have an abundance of lefty centers and left wings. I just hope it's the best player available. Much rather be overloaded in one position and then use that to deal from a position of strength than to draft a less-skilled player to fill a need right now with an 18 year old.

Real hard to tell who's the BPA in our range unless someone falls in which case begs the question why said player would fall in the first place.
