Canucks Curse Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 7 hours ago, Nuckhead76 said: I got to disagree the kid is small but has heart and skill, i for one would love to see him in Canucks uniform. I mean if he is patrick cane, or johnny hockey good than sure, but if he is schroeder good then no thanks. I think at this point in our organization's evolution, we can't risk a pipck on this guy if we only have 1 st rounder, I mean even 2 and I might pass on this guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where'd Luongo? Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) There are a couple guys on the Swift Current Broncos that are likely to go a bit later in the draft, both of whom would be good prospects in my opinion. Heponiemi and Minulin. Heponiemi is a small but fast and extremely intelligent player. (projected to go around 93rd) Minulin is a big defenceman that can put up decent numbers and play well defensively. (projected to go around 39th) Edited November 14, 2016 by Where'd Luongo?

S N Y P E R S 7 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Poehling is really good too if Mittelstadt's gone. He's dynamic, he's fast, and he knows how to bury the puck. He'll impress a lot of people. Mittelstadt is on a whole other level, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously nothing wrong with that but doesn't have the creativity such as a Logan brown (from last years draft) who is comparable in size. Simple as in Mats Sundin simple ( nothing flashy, but all the fundamentals are solid) or simple like Brian Boyle simple, where he is just 'ok/just below average' at everything ?

Odd. Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I remember Comtois being regarded as a top 5 pick. Might not even make it in the top 15. Samething happened to Tyler Benson if I can recall. Was regarded as a top 10 pick a year before and then his stock dropped throughout the year but that was mainly because of an injury he sustained? What happened to Comtois? Bad team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely somewhere in the middle of those two, closer to Boyle tho because I did hear MR just does "well" but no great quality. I heard his greatest asset is his Willingness to go to the net. A fair comparison in my eyes is Nick Bjugstad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to Comtois? Bad team? There seems to be one every year, that a consensus top 5-10 pick projected to start the season falls out. It happened with Shinkaruk, Saad, Benson and many more. Some are legitimate like Shinkaruk (who didn't have the dynamic speed or physical ability to translate to pro) but others like Saad (who was projected top 10) fell to the 2nd round but would obviously go top 10 if redrafted again.

TheHockeyNerds Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 On comtois, he's falling because his ppg is way down. People are questioning his offensive ability since his go to teammate, pascal laberge is injured, and comtois has struggled putting up points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyIe Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I'd like to see the Canucks pick Liljegren, can't have too many mobile, scoring Dmen IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mittlestadt thinks the game at an elite level already, on top of having a mature frame to back up his soft hands. I think he would need 2-3 years to marinate but I would take this kid just barely behind Patrick. I wanna see Patrick have another great year before I'm sold on him.

Qwags Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Besides Nolan Patrick, I know next to nothing about this draft class, other than the fact that it's decidedly weaker than previous drafts. Any potiential big names? Edited November 17, 2016 by Qwags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Nolan Patrick or bust! Is it just me, or does it seem really odd that with the number of years that we've had really bad teams, we've never had the first overall? Is it also just me, or do some teams seem to have a lot of luck of having generational talents just fall into their fricken laps? Edmonton: Gretzky (yes, I know he wasn't drafted) Messier McDavid Pittsburgh: Lemeiux Malkin Crosby Winnipeg: Selane Laine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
