Hortankin Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Sean Day was once a pretty highly regarded D prospect projected to go in the first half of the first round. Since then he has falling to the 2nd round in a lot of the mock drafts, some having him in the 3rd! He is a 6'3 229lb defencman according to eliteprospects.com. He is left handed and not sure if he plays the right side. Here is some info from eliteprospects.com about him: "A mobile two-way defenceman that boasts an elite level skill package. Strong on the forecheck and delivers hard shots and crisp passes. His consistency and enthusiasm exhibited at the game's defining moments does seem to wane, and the pressure felt seems to impact his decision-making slightly. When focusing on simplifying his game and getting all the little things right, he becomes a forceful impact that is hungry to be a difference maker. All-in-all, a talented two-way defenceman that has all of the raw abilities in place to become an elite defenceman, but has yet to put it all together and prove that he can thrive in the driver's seat. (Curtis Joe, EP 2015)" Pretty good 2nd Dman project IMO and his size makes me think Benning will be going hard for him. If we get a top 3 pick I would take Matthews or a finn (preferrably Laine), then go all out picking Dmen with all other picks, starting with this guy.

Well just to gloat a bit I said, "Kylington wasn't worth wasting your first pick on", and closer to the draft I said "he's not going to go in the top 40 picks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 As long as we don't take a D-man like Ellington when a player like Subban is on the board, I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 No. Trending the wrong way and for good reason. There will be better players available in the early 30's. Remember Angelo Esposito? If you can recall that name you'll see where I'm coming from. If you don't remember that name, then my point is even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 You should change it to a 3rd round. Our 2nd round pick will be far too high of a pick to gamble on Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I didnt but what I do know is this: We need Dmen with high ceilings According to eliteprospects and other sites he has "elite potential" Ath the beginning of the year he was projected top 10 by many mock drafts and has since fallen to 2nd and 3rd in many of them We have a high 2nd So i figured I would make this thread to get more insight from my knowledgable CDC Canuck fans. Thanks for your insight it really helped... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolboarder Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Always draft the BPA regardless of positional needs because you can always use the oversupply of talents on same position to trade with a team for a proven defenceman without worrying if that elite defenseman will be available in 2nd round or at their turn at whatever draft position they end up. If the BPA happens to be defenseman, then take him and it'll be a win-win situation regardless. I do not want to take any positional need if he end up flop, if that positional in rest of the propsects playing the same position flops on the first round. Take the best player regardless and you will find that need through trade. You do not want to create a hole when you have opportunity to shore up your strength upon your strength and when it is time to make a move, you fill up a hole but do not create that new hole because you wisely stacking up that BPA position from a draft in a trade. If you pick a wrong player off the board that does not pan out, you create a new hole because your prospect flopped, you don't want that to happen.

canuckpuckluck1 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Can someone explain to me why the dramatic drop in the mock drafts for Day? Has his game not improved? We're the expectations too high on him? Has his game regressed? Why was he originally projected to be a high draft pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiffyPB Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 He's as dumb as a headless chicken. It's why his stock has dropped like a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I remember Kylington being in the top 10 or top 15. Took a huge drop. Day was rated even higher before the end of last season. I'm pretty sure he's going to be available when we pick with Sabre's 3rd round pick. I'm pretty sure we also have a conditional 3rd round pick? Or is that the Sabres or Islanders?

Warhippy Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If we had a 2nd round pick in the late 30's early 40s and he was available you're damned rights I would. If we take a forward with our 1st round pick you're damned rights I would. I watched a kid named Keith play in the Okanagan for a few years. He wasn't nearly as highly touted but most of us thought he was going in the 1st round and knew he'd be something else I'd take Sean Day for a 2nd and develop the daylights out of him because he does have that something worth gambling on. And that something, is exactly what this team has been missing its entire lifetime. At worst we wasted a 2nd round pick in 3-5 years time on him. At best we drafted a top 6 or even better top 4 or better D man. Personally, I am still hoping Benning goes nuts and drafts nothing but D with high potential this year in our first 3-4 rounds.

You have good ideas Hipster. Not this one though. We need elite skill up front, and Sean Day (no relation to Jason Day, but is related to Doris Day) would not be a D man to take. If you liked Keith, then you should prefer Girard to Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 As if we dont have enough projects already. lets not use a first round pick for one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
