Glass or Vilardi at 3 then Pettersson at 5? Our center issues would be solved for the next decade+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunjabiCanucks Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 We could probably get Glass at 5, then trade for a mid 10s pick and trade that with CBJ 2nd to get into the top 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunjabiCanucks Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 As much as I want to get both, would love to snatch a D in the first round. Jizz (Sorry for my immaturity) to 3 1st round picks in the top 15 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) From looking at the rankings there is so much variation after the first two picks that I suppose I wouldn't really call anyone ranked in the top 20 off the board. Arguably the best player in the 2011 draft, Scheifele was ranked 16 from NA skaters going in and taken at number 7 as a skinny kid who is now playing about 30 pounds heavier than he was drafted which I am pointing out as a great example of not bowing to popular opinion when it comes to making great draft picks. Even our own Bo Horvat was ranked at 15 among NA players and 21 by THN in 2013, good talent analysis and maybe a bit of luck is essential.

cuporbust Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) In other news , Casey Mittelstadt had a horrible day. That's gota be embarrassing. https://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/top-5-draft-prospect-fails-combine-miserably Edited June 4, 2017 by cuporbust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Interesting. Why not both? Tanev can surely land a 10th overall pick, no? That pick can be used for picking Petterson. Adam Larsson and Tanev basically fill the similar role with Tanev having better possession numbers, meaning that he can move the puck better than Larsson wheras Larsson is a heavier player than Tanev. If Larsson got Hall, then, Tanev gets you a top 10 pick. If I were JB, I would work out a trade with LA, Florida, or Carolina and if Petterson is still available at that position, pull the trigger on the trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'd spend the assets required to move up in the draft, but might consider dropping down to later in the first round, if the compensation was attractive enough. Whether a soft or a hard rebuild, I feel that Vancouver should be stockpiling draft picks for the next couple of seasons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseBlue Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Seems like he's never done a pull up in his life. Either that or he just injured himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsiders Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Id do Mittlestad at 3 and Petterson at 5. 2 bust or 2 60+ offensive machines for the next 10 years 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHockeyNerds Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Reports of Miro Heiskanen being 6'2 are false. The 7:30am group was tested incorrectly. They were allowed to keep there shoes on by accident. Prognosticators say remove roughly 2 inches from what they were listed as! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have a hunch Detroit goes for Pettersson or Necas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. I would rather not watch this for the next decade every post-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 If I knew I had a fitness testing coming up that was gonna land me my dream job and possibly more money (signing bonus) if I did well. You'd better believe I'd be training hard up to that date. Which is even more baffling on how Mittelstadt did so poorly. It has to be an injury.
