I'd try to take a goalie and keep one of our 2nds but the idea of picking 3rd and 5th is awesome! It would suck to miss out on the 2nd round players as I have some favourites but I'd pick once in the top 10 rather then twice in the 2nd round everyday of the week! We need quality not quantity. Gotta get some top talent! Same same. I would do that deal tomorrow. In 2 to 3 years, number 1 PPQB playing the point on the PP and either Bo 2.0 in Vlardi or a good Offensive center like Mittlestad. We would also suck for one more year, but looking at a top 5 pick next year too. The year after should be the climb back out. I would also move Tanev for a talent like Puljarvi or Reinhardt if at all possible. Would definitely throw more into a deal for Reinhardt, a second or Baer possibly. Straight up for JP though.

Would love to pick him up at 33. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know? You friends with JB? If he's there at 5 I'd bet $100 they take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will easily take 2-3 years to develop. Cody Glass is also really scrawny...Mittelstadt is chubby...Both possess great hockey IQ,and are going to be really good players.

250Integra Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 In terms of centers, I'd be more than happy if we took either one of Glass, Vilardi, or Necas. I'm not too high on taking a defenseman, especially since we used our top pick to draft Juolevi last year. I wouldn't mind if we took Makar or Heiskanen if they're available though.

I'm just not hearing anything about him via journalists who follow the team..The emphasis is really on Cody Glass,and Pettersen, (whom the Canucks have asked for extra interviews)...You could also throw Cale Makar in there as well. I have no bias against Vilardi,but he is one of the prospects that could drop (see Craig Buttons list). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 My prediction top 5. 1 NJ Nico 2 PHI Patrick 3 DAL Heiskanen 4 AVS Vilardi Which leaves Van with a pick of Mittelstadt, Makar, Glass I like all 3 but would choose Mittelstadt. He's exactly what we need a 1c with tremendous creativity Glass seems like another Bo Horvat which is a great pick but we already have BO and Makar is pretty risky but any of the 3 I would be happy with.

Erik Karlsson is not heavy nor tall. Makar has unique skills, and (perhaps?) the highest ceiling of any player in this draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vilardi is there at 5 and we pass I'll wonder what this management team is thinking. I think he has Glass a few spots too high but you never know.

nowhereman Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 35 minutes ago, Boudrias said: Vilardi is OK but Makar, to small. I'm assuming you haven't been following the recent combine info? Makar has gone through a growth spurt and is pushing 6ft. By the time he's done growing, he'll likely be comparable to the weight and height of Karlsson, Keith, Josi, Letang, etc. What's wrong with that? This isn't 1998, when sloths like Hatcher ruled the roost. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Based on Buttons List this is who I pick: 5 Heiskanen 33 JAD 55 Comtois (If Lind was 55 not 54 him for sure) 64 Salo 95 Elvenes Alternate Picks 5 Mittelstadt 33 Hague (Unlikely so Robertson) 55 Gildon 64 Zetterlund 95 Elvenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
