hatedkid666 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 After acquiring a few good players in this year draft, I was wondering what the thought of the people of CDC is regarding our top prospects and where they rank. IMO: 1.Virtanen 2. Baertschi 3. Demko 4. Cassels 5. McCann 6. Shinkaruk 7.Subban 8. Boeser 9. Gaunce 10. Grenier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't consider Baertschi a prospect, because he's either on the roster or gone next season. And just the forwards, because I can't remember all the D right now. 1. Virtanen 2. Shinkaruk 3.

bigbadcanucks Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Funny how the newest and shiniest first rounder shoots up the prospect list even though he is 1-3 years behind everyone on the development cycle. For my money, the top prospects (defined as non-Canuck roster players with a shot at making the big club) look like: 1-Sven Baertschi; 2-Frank Corrado; 3-Adam Clendening; 4-Brendan Gaunce; 5-Jake Virtanen; 6-Alex Grenier; 7-Cole Cassels; 8-Andrey Pedan; 9-Hunter Shinkaruk; 10-Niklas Jensen; 11-Jared McCann; 12-Ben Hutton; 13-Jordan Subban; 14-Thatcher Demko; 15-Brock Boeser; 16-Nikita Tryamkin; 17-Guillame Brisebois That's a pretty deep prospect pool. I'd put this in the top 1/3 of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put this in the top 1/3 of the league. To be fair, prospect rankings are usually meant to express who people think have the best NHL potential and not just who is the most NHL-ready at the time the list is made. Just as an example, there aren't a lot of people who would say Grenier will project to be better than McCann. He might play in the NHL sooner, but I wouldn't call him a better prospect. Almost everyone in this thread has Cassels in their top 5. I'd say he's getting his fair share of respect. As for the pool overall, I'd put it in the mid-teens. Not outstanding, but good depth at forward and in goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpennyCanuck Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 After acquiring a few good players in this year draft, I was wondering what the thought of the people of CDC is regarding our top prospects and where they rank. IMO: 1.Virtanen 2. Baertschi 3. Demko 4. Cassels 5. McCann 6. Shinkaruk 7.Subban 8. Boeser 9. Gaunce 10. Grenier Drafted players by the Canucks (minus Horvat) under 24, rankings based on upside. 1: Shinkaruk 2: Virtanen 3: McCann 4: Demko 5: Cassels 6: Boeser 7: Gaunce 8: Grenier 9: Corrado 10: Jasek (he may be a huge steal) Honourable mentions Ben Hutton Jordan Subban Still missing a top end defensive prospect. nothing was really available at 23, thats why i was happy with Boeser instead of a defenceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucksfor2012 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 You guys think this is a top 10 prospect pool in the league? Top 5 even? Probably not. Buffalo Edmonton Columbus - Wennberg, Dano, Milano, Bjorkstrand, Rychel, Karlsson, Heatherington, Werenski, Carlsson, Bittner, Vainio Islanders - Reinhart, Puloch, Pelech, Dal Colle, HoSang, Barzal, Beauvillier, Vande Sompel, Wotherspoon, Pilon Arizona - Domi, Duclair, Gormley, Samuelsson, Perlini, Dvorak, Visentin, Strome, Merkley, Fischer At the very least are better. Then you have teams like: Winnipeg - Petan, Morrissey, Comrie, Armia, Ehlers, Lemieux, Connor, Harkins, Roslovic Calgary - Bennett, Poirier, Smith, Klimchuk, Andersson, Kylington Pittsburgh - Pouliot, Dumoulin, Harrington, Kapanen, Sprong Who likely have more top end talent than our prospect pool. And these are the just the more obvious ones, there are other teams with a better pool than us too. We do however, have Top 15, probably. After the 2016 draft we'll probably move up, since it's likely we'll be moving players for picks + we're likely to finish a lot lower than we did this year. Edit: To address the OP: 1. Virtanen 2. Cassels 3. Corrado 4. Clendening 5. McCann 6. Shinkaruk 7. Gaunce 8. Demko 9. Jensen 10. Grenier 11. Boeser 12. Pedan 13. Hutton 14. Tryamkin 15. Subban 16. Brisebois 17. Jasek Tried to account for both potential and NHL-readiness. Guys near bottom of list aren't necessarily worse than those above them, but they may be still a while away/bigger chance of failure. i.e. if all goes well Jasek and Subban could be rated much higher, but they're both projects. Didn't include Baertschi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
