DeltaSwede Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 How I would rank the prospects now from a Canucks pov. 1. Patrick 2. Hischier 3. Liljegren 4. Vilardi 5. Mittelstadt 6. Tolvanen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Interesting the Liljegren was left off the team in favour of a 2018 draft eligible D man Dahlin for Sweden. Is that skill related alone, or based on injury/mono as well? My top 10 in terms of skill Hischier Patrick Middlestat Tolvanen Vilardi Liljegren Petterson Glass Vesalainen Necas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotJaredMcCann Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Hischier showing what he's about. 2Gs, 1a against Canada with most of third period to go and looking dangerous every shift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 If we had the #1 pick today, I would pick Hischier no doubt about it. Patrick will be a good player, Getzlaf like but Hischier's stock just continues to rise and rise and unless Patrick returns and puts up a 2-3 PPG pace, Hischier is the #1 guy right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSnipeshow91 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Hischier reminds me of marner. Small, elusive playerbwith great hockey sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluralsight Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Have only been hearing of Hischier recently. I'm wondering where we was projected prior to the season starting? I don't recall seeing him in the top 20 of anyone's draft rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh...I wouldn't just for the fact that Reinhart hasn't really blown me away yet in terms of being "The Man" yet from being picked 2nd overall 3 years ago. For example....when other 2nd overall guy Eichel went down, I didn't see alot of Buffalo fans saying "thank god Reinhart is there". Or its not like he has noticeably taken control of the team yet as his. His speed doesn't wow me either. IMO, I think the prospect of selecting a Liljegren, Hague, Foote, or either of the top forwards gets me more excited than having Reinhart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Food for thought. Hischier is actually larger than Crosby was when he was drafted and actually plays a heavier junior game than him. Liljegren is 6 foot+ and 200 pounds as one of the best skating defensive prospects I've seen in a long long time. Patrick...still injured....again.

He's their missing piece. A solid right-handed defenseman that can put up numbers AND defend without deficiencies. I doubt we'll get our hands on Liljegren but man a potential Liljegren/Juolevi line gets me drooling. I'd rather draft a center (particularly Hischier, Patrick, and Vilardi) that can replace Henrik for the future. We really really really need to start focusing on drafting skilled, smart, offensive players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To your other point, i also really like the top prospects this year like liljegren hischier etc so either way it would be a good problem to have haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he gets his hernia problems taken care of once n for all Sports hernia can only be dangerous in the long-term if the appropriate amount of rest is not administered. I don't think it will hurt his career in the long-term and what he has accomplished in the past is really impressive. If it was another type of injury, I'd be concerned as well, but it's not the type of injury (I believe) that is reoccurring, unless it is mishandled. I'm still not sold on Hischier developing into a dominant 1st liner at the NHL level and am a little worried he will end up being a player that plays a supportive role. Patrick, I feel, has the makings of a 1st line center that plays in all possible situations. I just feel that Patrick has the potential to be more dominant than Hischier at the NHL level. It's not like I have a lot between them either and a substantial part of me is hoping the Canucks don't end up with the first overall pick and have the decision made for them by whoever picks 1st. 6 months ago everyone were raving about Liljegren, and now that he has had mono, all of a sudden he's not the same player anymore, and doesn't have the same ceiling. I think that's the case for Patrick. Spend a little time out of the spotlight and people forget how good they really are.
