Inge34 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Since we could pick anywhere from #1 to #6, just thought it would be fun to have people pick who they think the Canucks will draft. Not who we want in the draft. See who the soothsayer is amongst us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriGold Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 If we get top 4, we will draft Best available in the order everybody expects. If we finish 5th or 6th I think Benning trades down to get a 11th-13th pick and a few other picks. That's my thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By sea and land Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Because nothing ever seems to come easy to Canuckland, I believe we lose the lottery but are ultimately very happy selecting Dubois. If we lose the lottery, count me happy if we select Dubois, Tkachuk or trade down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Don't think we're lucky enough to get in the top 3, and can see Benning going for the big French Canadian kid, who can play C and Wing. DUBOIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupIsComing Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 because we will pick 6th, Dubois will be gone. Tkachuk. And I am happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Tkachuk will still be available at #6? I thought he was currently ranked 4th, ahead of Dubois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Puljujarvi (3rd) I think we might win 3rd overall tbh. If 2nd overall, I'd still pick Puljujarvi, and 1st overall, matthews Lucas Johansen (33rd) Vladimir Kuznetsov (63rd) (hopefully he falls there) Ty Ronning (93rd) the rest idk If we get all of those guys above, I'll be a happy mofo.

Cowardrobertford Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Puljujarvi looks more like a driver than Laine so...pool o party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I do (fingers crossed). I think most teams think Chychrun is in that mix and hopefully he goes higher as most rankings have him. Interesting to note the diversity of the various rankings...such as those found below, and on TSN's monthly "Craigs List." http://www.eliteprospects.com/draftcenter.php?year=2016&layout=&ranking=Rank4 I get the impression that there may be some sleepers that were ranker lower sneaking into top 6 as well. No doubt, we will get a good, possibly great player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Tkachuk is a slug on skates, hopefully we dont draft him. I think if we snag Puulajjavir it will set us up for the next 10 years, best player in the draft IMO, the hockey gods will smile on us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Puljujarvi Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News (Oct. 30th): "With his speed, size and goal-scoring ability, he has been called one of the most terrifying Euro prospects in years." ...terrifying, I like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 on some lists, chychrun is only the 4th best d-man in the draft...juolevi, sergashov and bean have moved ahead of him... i'm still hoping for laine but even dubois would make me smile...

They say he is not the fastest but he is strong and stable. Is that not what they said about Horvat. Look at his playoff points and tell me you don't want him. Look at his goal totals. This kid oozes character and blends that with a high skill level. Tkachuk Horvat Virtanen To me that is a first line of the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
