orcasgonewild Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I know there are tons of threads telling the Canucks faithful all about how good or bad the Canucks will do next year. I want to shed some light on how I think the Canucks will do. My prediction is solely based on who the Canucks draft in this upcoming draft. If we draft top 3, we r a playoff team. Anyone we pick in the top 3 whether it be Matthews laine or puljuarvi will lead us to the playoffs. All of them are dynamic. Plus with Markstrom and Miller sharing duties we should have solid goaltending. Also put in perspective if we got Stamkos!!! Here are just the forward lines in each scenario... sedins hansen rodin matthews sutter baerstchi horvat virtanen Gaunce granlund etem Sedins Laine/puljujarvi (Love this) Rodin sutter Hansen baertschi horvat virtanen gaunce granlund etem or if we get Stamkos and one of the top 3 sedins stamkos rodin Matthews sutter baertschi horvat virtanen gaunce granlund etem sedins laine/puljujarvi rodin Stamkos sutter baertschi horvat virtanen gaunce granlund etem Id love to be GM. If we don't get top 3 though, we can expect another non playoff year especially with no Stamkos as well. So in conclusion... Top3+stamkos= cup Stamkos+4-6pick= eventual cup top3= eventual cup 4-6 pick= no cup, and won't be competitive for awhile, needs more pieces. Let me know of what u guys think, I haven't been on in awhile so I don't know if there were other threads about this. Tell me what u think the Canucks should do.

Then why didn't you go on one of those and type this up? Also, just a tip, all posts need tags. IE - [Discussion] NEXT SEASON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A top 3 pick isn't going to change much next season. We are still going to be in the hunt for a playoff spot, with or without a top 3 picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 If we don't make too many moves, I think we'll end up around 9th - 12th in the conference next season (with not as many injuries as this year). We're a good team when fully healthy but nowhere near playoff-good. If Benning goes out and gets us a top-6 scorer and top-4 defenceman, we'll make the playoffs (whether it be trade or UFA). If Benning gets us a top-6 scorer, top-4 defenceman, depth defenceman too, we'll be a solid top-3 team in the division. For example: Sign Boedker, Eriksson, Okposo, Ladd or Lucic for 4 years 6M. Sign Demers for 5 years 6-7M If draft #1 overall - draft Matthews. McCann + Sbisa + 2nd for Hamonic/McCann + pick for Theodore or other 20ish year old defenceman. If draft #2-3 overall - draft Laine. Sbisa + Hansen + 2nd for Hamonic/Virtanen for Theodore/Pouliot/Morrow etc. (Most likely to happen) If draft #4-6th - draft Chychrun. Sedin - Sedin - Eriksson (most likely to sign) Baertschi - Sutter - Hansen Laine - Horvat - Rodin Gaunce - Granlund - McCann Edler - Tanev Hutton - Demers Tryamkin - Sbisa Theodore Subban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 You posted on an alt account to make your post. If you can't use your real account to voice your opinion, I think you know that you are making a weak case. Top 3 picks + 1 player does not automatically equal a cup, eventual or otherwise.

Kaner Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Personally, I think the Canucks are going to sign Lucic and make a push for Demers. Hopefully with a little luck, we land a Fin, and with everyone's improved play next year, I think we will get to the playoffs. Sedin - Sedin - Hansen Lucic - Sutter - Laine/Pool Party Baertschi - Horvat - Virtanen Gaunce - McCann - Dorsett Edler - Tanev Tryamkin - Hutton Demers - Sbisa Markstrom Miller Depending on the opponent, I think that's a roster that could get past the first round.

Kaner Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 My only fear is that we land out of the top 3. I'm afraid Benning won't trade up and try to get one of the Fins. Hopefully we don't have to worry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.53 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 With no major moves, This is what the roster would most likely look around. I'm not counting the additions of Rodin, or Larson, and I'm assuming Hamhuis is getting resigned. Preferably I would like upgrades, but without any major moves, the roster should look something like this. Sedin Sedin Hansen Granlund Sutter Virtanen Baertschi Horvat Rodin? Burrows McCann Etem (Gaunce Dorsett) Edler Tanev Hamhuis? Larsen? Hutton Tryamkin (Sbisa) Markstrom Miller One thing is for certain, with Boeser, Subban, and Demko on the way, the youth movement is really on the way. A good pick in the top 4, or hopefully the top 3 would really go far in progressing our future. With a top 3 pick in the forward group, and another stud yound defensive prospect, we are going to be in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I think it's somewhat foolish to be penciling in one of the Fins at this point. The odds heavily point to us picking somewhere between 4th and 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
