aqua59 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 JB couldn't trade up 10 spots and get Andersson OR Kylington? Yikes. No, he just didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_The_Schneid! Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 No, he just didn't. He knew brisebois would still be available Seems like that was the man he wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edlerberry Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 sounds like bad tanev no shot, not physical, weak defensive D. aka ＄4-5m man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) sounds like bad tanev no shot, not physical, weak defensive D. aka ＄4-5m man. Do some reading. GB is a PMD who has some great talents, including the poise and positioning of Tanev. http://lastwordonsports.com/2015/05/18/2015-nhl-draft-profile-48-guillaume-brisebois/ Great skater, character/leader, moves the puck well, PPQ, good slap shot, has played well in international competitions and is projected to be a top 4 dman in the NHL. His so called weak defensive #s are attributed to playing on a team in the bottom of the Q. Nucks ended up getting a 2nd rounder for the 3rd they got for Lack.

canucklehead44 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Seems like Benning prefers two-way meat-and-potatoes on the back end versus high-end skill... Brisebois is more carrots and rice than meat and potatoes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuporbust Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 This is a VERY good third round pick. This is one of the d men I wanted. It is the only bright spot of the draft for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Still having a hard time getting excited about this guy. Just doesn't scream NHLer to me. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Linden seems stoked about the pick so there's that. Nothing else we can do but hope he pans out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Interesting pick, seems like he should have options for more offence but hasn't really produced at any level. Good skater, can move the puck, and has a majority of assists to match with that while also having played at high level with the Ivan Hlinka and U-17 tournaments. Seems responsible as well, good in his own end, but I still keep wondering how he hasn't found more offence somewhere along the lines with his skill set. He's young, and has a little more time to develop as a result, so we'll see where this goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALAPOK Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 This pick is the only good thing Benning has done all weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 He's 17 guys. 17. Maybe we can out Bennett, Bennett? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedman Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Still having a hard time getting excited about this guy. Just doesn't scream NHLer to me. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong. I agree. His numbers in the QMJHL are underwhelming, which for me is concerning since the QMJHL is by far the weakest of the 3 CHL leagues. Not really good at anything. People will bring up that he played for the worst team in the QMJHL which made him "look bad", but that's honestly not going to help his development either. And his +/- wasn't exactly good at the WJC-18 either. I don't see much more than bottom pairing potential. Not to mention this is basically the guy we traded Eddie Lack for.

N7Nucks Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Linden seems stoked about the pick so there's that. Nothing else we can do but hope he pans out. Would be pretty disheartening to hear our President and our GM weren't on the same page. Whether this means anything will remain to be seen. Hopefully he can surprise and develop into a top 4 guy one day. Or at the very least a top 6 guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Linden seems stoked about the pick so there's that. Nothing else we can do but hope he pans out. what do you expect Linden to do? come out to the media and say this pick was a "meh"? lol marketing tactic, make it look exciting, make the Canucks fans excited about renewing their season packages.

KariyaSakicAnderson Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The fact that Calgary got both is kind of ridiculous Yea considering they also gave up the their first three picks for Hamilton and still ended up with Andersson and Kylington. We will see how they turn out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 This is my personal favorite pick of the draft, really have high hopes for this guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KariyaSakicAnderson Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Though I don't mind this pick, I think he can turn into a good Dman for this team. He did play for one of the worst teams in the CHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugor Hill Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 He's 17 guys. 17. Maybe we can out Bennett, Bennett? He'll turn 18 in July though. Too old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
