Junkyard Dog Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 It would be between Tkachuk or Chychrun unless one of the Finns fell. Both are really good prospects and both can be argued for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 i'd almost rather have the 4th pick than the 2nd or 3rd because it's a no-brainer (whichever of the top 4 is left), whereas picks 2 and 3 leave you open to making the "wrong" pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 If the a Canucks have the 4th and Tkachuk is still available and Benning doesn't take him, there will be a riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Benning will pick Tkachuk if he's available at 4. and that's IF we have the fourth overall pick. I'd much rather prefer Laine. but doubt he falls to fourth. I'd be really surprised if Laine drops farther than that. unless certain teams are picking by need. like the oilers. maybe they take Chychrun higher than most scouts project. what if Matthews is taken first. and then Chychrun second? and Tkatchuk third?

Blömqvist Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 We need Chychrun but wow one of the Finns or Tkachuck would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, while the Canucks could drop to 4th worst, they're more likely to be in the 6-8 range or win a lottery pick and be in the top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many examples of top 5 D-men that didn't pan out. If we're going best player available it's Tkachuk (assuming the Finns are taken) I think we're better using our cap space on D-men and drafting elite forwards.

stawns Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 1 hour ago, Alflives said: Tkatchuk is an excellent player, and if he's on the board I too believe JB will take him. I just don't feel Tkatchuk will be there at four. Therefore, I believe JB will trade down from four to 10 or 11 collecting another asset, while still getting one of the four D men who are ranked so high. Chychrun, Juliovi, Sergachev, or Bean. no chance in hell is anyone taking Tkachuk before Laine, Pulijarvi or Mathews.........if a GM did that, they should be fired on the spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much a toss up with the finn and russian Chychrun has the highest ceiling IMO. Plays with more bite as well. Russian D Sergachev has more inconsistencies in his own end I am not a fan of personally. He isn't even ranked top 8 in any mock's I have found either so some people who work on these scouting sites must not like him enough to be top 5. I would rather draft Tkachuk than anybody other than the top 3 or maybe Chychrun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I know it's not a popular opinion, but I'd see what teams would offer to trade down and then draft one of Chychrun, Juolevi, or Sergachev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Kerr Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I find it interesting everyone is picking Tkachuk when ISS just had Nylander rated at number 4 and Tkachuk at 5... Why is that? Just because Tkachuk is LW whereas Nylander is RW? Or does everyone just like Tkachuk better? Also noticed Tkachuk captained Team Orr (Benning seems to like drafting captains) edit:sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has all the qualities you want in a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Both Alex and Matthew have something in common which is family lineage. Both are good prospects but Tkachuk looks like the type of player you can win with in the post season and that can bring a presence that can make a difference in a playoff series.

jdatb Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 2 hours ago, N4ZZY said: so your saying tkachuk will drop? wow. that'd be a steal for anyone drafting 5-8 then. Dubois is on fire. I could see him at #4. Chycrun, Juolevi, Sergachev could be picked anytime before Tkachuk if a team needs D-men. Then there's guys like McLeod and Nylander who could very well be chosen as riskier options. At the end of the day, I don't think a team will be unhappy with a Tkachuk pick, but I could definitely see him drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
