Noble 6 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I also like Foote. He's a physical beast that still has time to fill out. He doesn't play a flashy or super dynamic game, but a very professional game that could translate well as manroth19 pointed out. He could be a Gudbranson lite and a solid addition to any prospect pool. Obviously I would LOVE to land one of Hischier, Patrick or Liljegren. That doesn't look very realistic though. Petterson on is very interesting for me. He didn't really amaze at the WJC but is putting up very solid numbers in Sweden last I read. His weight/size are a little concerning as he's only something like 150-160lbs, but could be a highly skilled playmaker that we are looking for. I would for sure love to hear more about him and other people's opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 2 points up on 5th worst in the league we have an extremely difficult schedule leading up to the trade deadline its not difficult to drop down the standings quickly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Middlestadt but that doesn't look likely anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blömqvist Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Anyone have any insight into Cody Glass of the Portland Winterhawks? As of January 31st, Bob McKenzie and ISS have him ranked at #14 on their lists. EliteProspects have him listed at 6'2" and 179 lbs. He leads his team in scoring with 68 points (23g + 45a) in 49 games and is a +28 rating. His description from EliteProspects is: " A dangerous two-way center that thinks the game at a high level, never making the same mistake twice. He is analytical and patient in the development of his strengths. He transitions up-ice quickly and is able to create and dictate offensive chances on the rush. He attacks hard and fast and consistently displays excellent puck control. His decision making is very good, indicative of his high level of hockey sense. He plays a complete game and elevates his play as energy levels rise. At the next level, he will need to be even faster and more physically assertive to make his presence felt. All-in-all, an intense, quick-thinking competitor that can elicit a crowd's excitement when he's on the ice. (Curtis Joe, EP 2017) " Could be a good pick if we make the playoffs (or fall heartbreakingly short of the playoffs..) EDIT: Currently 7th overall in WHL scoring too Edited February 2, 2017 by Blömqvist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather not rely on chance when there are for sure 2 teams and probably a couple more that will have better chances than us. But it if we win, I won't be complaining.

Bure_Pavel Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 What do you guys think about Cale Makar, he is climbing fast in a lot of rankings, he is even top 10 in some of the ones ive seen. How do you think he compares to Dante Fabbro? Cale Makar AJHL GP 41 G 15 A 37 P 52 Dante Fabbro BCHL GP 45 G 14 A 53 P 67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he been dropping or was he just over rated by CDC early in the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the undisputed top D in the draft before although the gap is probably shortening. I would still rank at #3 behind Hischier and Patrick because he still has the ceiling of being a #1 defenseman. He has the best chance of being the best defenseman of the draft I would say. Of course, that doesn't mean he WILL be, but he probably has the best odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure_Pavel Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 My wishlist for the canucks: 1. Patrick 2. Hischier 3. Vilardi 4. Liljegren 5. Mittelstadt 6. Rasmussen 7. Tolvanen 8. Tippett 9.

He's certainly a better 'all around' player and likely a 'safer' pick. But I'd wager Hischier will be more dynamic and more productive offensively. We've already got a 'Patrick' in Horvat and personally I don't see a lot separating Patrick/Hischier in quality. Just different play styles. Can I ask why you'd be 'butt hurt'? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hischier is a little more risky and needs more development to play a pro style game. Canucks don't have a great track record in the last few years developing young talent into stars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that. Definitely more risk/reward and likely the main thing keeping him from 1st overall IMO. 13 minutes ago, Bure_Pavel said: Canucks don't have a great track record in the last few years developing young talent into stars. That's just not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
