But we would be very wise to stay away from him. Very few defenders with his profile make it. If Steel is available I would be interested in him. I always like watching him play. He is a bit of a risk, but he has amazing skill and could be a home-run player if he can pull it all together - particularly he needs to get stronger and play better defense.

Dutch_Canuck Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'm praying Pascal Laberge (C) is there, but I would be happy with any one of, Adam Mascherin (LW) Samuel Girard (D) Taylor Raddysh (RW) Luke Green (D) Cam Dineen (D) Jordan Kyrou (C) Tim Gettinger (LW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuktravella Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 no way benning picks brincat hes 5'7 160 pounds no thanks i want team giant not smurfs, no thanks to ronning as well. my wish list for draft is first round puljujarvi, second round lucas johansen, third round sean day elite 17 yr old right winger big two way rocket dman with nhl genetics sean day could end up being elite fingers crossed plus olson, subban, pedan, sauntner, tryamkin, our dcorp looks much better than when gillis left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're taking a big boy in the first round, if DeBrincat is available at 33 I'd take a chance for sure. Otherwise, a defenceman, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, he hasn't shown much development this year compared to last year, even though his point totals are nothing but impressive. I'd stay clear from him, and I think Benning will too especially considering he just moved out Shinkaruk who could be considered on the smaller side at 5'11". Hunter had 49 goals in his rookie season in the W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSnipeshow91 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Move up and pick up McAvoy. Fabbro would be nice aswell. Seabrook 2.0 but with better skating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Someone correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Debrincat have some ugly concussion/injury issues this year alone? If so he is even less attractive. RyJo's brother or Fabbro please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it ironic, sometimes, that JB always preaches drafting and keeping picks and then in every trade throw in a 4th-5th or 6th. I think in almost every trade, except for Granlund, he's given up a pick. Those late rounders add up. People on these boards overvalue draft picks way too much, especially late round picks who will likely never pan out to anything. Yes, you can argue that it's possible to find gems like Benn, Pavelski, Zetterberg, Datsyuk but those are a handful compared to the hundreds that never make it. IMO Players who've already proven they can play in the NHL > late round draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if we take a forward in the 1St. I'm guessing he will be gone before then unfortunately. Ill be disappointed if we didnt take Day if he was still availiable. His potential is sky high. This bad year for him could be a blessing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bissurnette Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Dante Fabbro seems pretty intriguing to me. If not then Lucas Johansen. If Benning can do one thing right it's drafting. With a high 2nd it's almost the equivalent of having a mid to late first rounder with the kind of players Benning gets. I'm trusting his choice for whatever player he picks (except for maybe debrincat - STAY AWAY). As for Day, he's a huge question mark and I don't think we take a flyer on him with our 2nd but I wouldn't be shocked if Winnipeg does. He seems like a player who just needs a little bit of extra attention and care. With Heisinger's reputation and all that he did for Rypien, I wouldn't be surprised if they take him in the second round and develop him into the elite Dman he can become. We could use someone like Heisinger here to be honest. I suppose Stan Smyl comes close to that tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our local Giant's player - Ronning - is a far better choice if going for a little feller. And he could be had in the third or even fourth round.
