Dont have that stupid winning streak at the end of the season just like last year... Assuming we win #1, who would u pick. Nolan or that Hischier kid. Patrick. If we don't feel confident in picking him, we can always trade down with teams that need a leader like him say Avs, Yotes, Vegas and make them surrender their 1st next year. If not, ask for their Top level prospects. As I mentioned in the thread before, Patrick is compared to Staal, Getzlaf by many hockey analysts. We haven't had a player of that caliber since Kesler left. He also protects his teammates by fighting them. Great leader also and tells his teammates where they should be. Ideal A behind Bo who will be our future captain. Edited March 2, 2017 by Beary Sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan or that Hischier kid. considering jb wants to add skill especially on the wing. if it's close between hischer and Patrick maybe he goes hischer. hischers ability to do stuff at speed is nuts. he could possibly keep up with McDavid. have 2 wait and see. hischer is Bure 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means Patrick if the Canucks win the lottery and Hirschier if they come second. I don't think any team would be foolish enough to give up a lot to move up to #1 and get Patrick (depending on what pick they start with). But if the Canucks could trade #1 overall for another pick in the top 6 or so this year and a first next year (likely to be another high first round pick), then I would certainly favor it. But obviously getting one of the top 2 picks is unlikely (maybe 20% to get one of them at this stage) and the #3 pick goes to Vegas. So it is likely that the Canucks will be picking in the 4 to 10 range. They might be tempted to go with Rasmussen. I could see him at 9 or 10 but not higher. And the Canucks should take the BPA and not worry about position or style of play at this stage. That is Benning's general strategy and is what I think he will do. ..

One head scout was saying that they are so close that it will come down to preference - he had Hischier ahead because he sees him as more dynamic. Pronman gave the same reason for ranking him 1st over Patrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brobidus Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 What's the deal with Conor Timmins? By terms of rankings he seems to be at the end of the first round. But his point totals and plus minus are fantastic. He even seems to have the size. Is he an overager perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case, Hischier should probably be taken, however can't really afford not to go for either if the opportunity for it is there. See someone saying Hischier is Bure 2.0... Can anyone else confirm this, as 6 month ago everyone was saying it is a poor draft year, and it does not sound like that to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think this is much different situation than what had happened with Stefan draft. Patrick will be a great player. He might not be as good as Hischier but he will be a solid 2C behind Bo. They could form a formidable force and could be very dominant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think Hischier has an Ehlers type of offensive talent, but is slightly more responsible of a player being a C. Thus, he isn't going to lead this team right out of the gate, as it will still take a few years for him to have a major impact. Nolan Patrick probably has Leon Draisaitl potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Patrick is consistently injured though. do we know why this is? is he rushing back to quick, bad team advice, or just injury prone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble 6 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Does anyone know exactly how good or bad Hischier's defensive game is? I had heard that it was very good, but I've also heard that he's more of a pure offense player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
