granpappy Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 it's a good thing the rest of the west improved vastly because once they realize jb stole this 114th pick away from them, they will be running for cover. who needs high end picks. hopefully next year, jb trades our 1st overall for two top 100's he's so wily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Benning very high on this guy TSN 1040 interviewed him and said that Zhukenov is comparable to Pavel Datsyuk in his draft year. Said he is a very determined Russian Centre who thinks the game well with high hockey IQ, very good offensive player and defensive player. Strength an issue and needs to work on it but really likes the potential in him. O_O i I'm drooling. He would be amazing being half the player of Datsyuk. Like to hear that though. So he's a center eh hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any GM can take a chance on a player in the top 2 rounds and be semi successful. It's the GM's Nd scouts that find quality unheard of players deep In the draft that make a team good. Love the picks I'm not sold on briseois but I'm not JB but love the rest of the picks. Wish we added another depth goalie with eriksson gone but we can add one via FA. Our crease belongs to demko/markstrom in the future. Pumped some quality goalies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messier's_elbow Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Could have taken Pilon... Hey but why take someone we actually need. Welcome ZhukenovYeah kinda odd we could have taken Pilon. JB obviously doesn't like him. This kid is skinny but they have personal trainers and I was a skinny kid too and now I'm 210 of muscle. So taking a project in the 4th isn't too bad. I just don't like projects in the 1st 2 rounds. Edited June 28, 2015 by messier's_elbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 INteresting pick. I am not against taking home run swings in the 4th Me neither. But I don't like going a single and striking out anyway, which is what I think will happen here. This pick makes no sense. The rating services have him way below where the Canucks took him. Team that go "off the board" to this extent almost always underperform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you guys do is post status/thread(especially in your case) about how bad he is and are consisently trying to poke hole in this reputation that just aren't there Edited June 28, 2015 by Gstank29 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylington and Pilon remind me of when CDC demanded Gillis take Kirill Kabanov in the 2nd round. How did he turn out again? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal:thecup Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Don't know it this item from Elite Prospects was already posted:A diligent offensive forward that is productive at both ends of the ice. Predatory offensive instincts compliment his competitiveness and motivation to stay ahead of the play. Sees the ice very well and is creative with his abilities, willing to battle in front of the net and do the things that other players of his size would not. His defensive zone play is fascinating because he is always very proactive positionally; that being said, his style of defensive play is not very refined, and ill-suited to a more physical brand of hockey. All-in-all, a distinguished two-way competitor that will have the potential to develop into a crafty offensive producer as he gets stronger.
