It appears he's already sewered our highest picks we've had in decades... #6 overall with Jake and #5 overall with Olli Passed on Ehlers, Nylander for Jake... guess the pressure of being a new GM and taking the home town kid was too much Not to mention missing the obvious choice in Tkachuk... Aside from the fact that both Sergachev and Chycrun seem like they'll be better than Olli. W.e I hope I'm wrong and he's made the right choices but so far it looks terrible. In other news regarding Benning failures: he went with blue socks this morning rather than the power red, he got whole wheat toast with his eggs and not the obvious choice of sourdough, and he got Thousand Island dressing on his salad rather than Ranch or Italian... and have you seen how he parts his hair? regards, G. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would secure his choice of Vilardi or Glass, but we may also get real lucky ( I know, I know), and perhaps Patrick falls to #3. I doubt it, but you never know. Does he then take a D with the #29? Not even sure who that would be. Branstrom/Hague please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdaddy Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I believe Makar and Heiskanen go 3 and 4 in some order. Canucks will have their pick of the next best centre (good luck knowing who that really is). I'd like to see the Canucks move Tanev somewhere like Buffalo and get their first. We could then take the next best D, Liljigren, or, my preference, the next best forward. I think there is a chance Vilardi could be there and he could end up in the middle or on the wing. Post Sedin era looks a little brighter IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not super interested in Urho guys of his ilk can be dug out of late rounds or go undrafted see Tanev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope his picks turn around otherwise he truly has sewered our highest picks in for ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocksterh8 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I really hope he takes Glass, but I have a feeling he will take Petterson instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that the team picking him would have some sway in the outcome of that decision but no matter where he plays after the draft I think he would be my choice from a team need standpoint though the BPA maybe Vilardi/Glass. Given his size concerns, another year in the SHL would probably be the most prudent route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 If Dallas keeps their pick, I'd be surprised if they don't pick Heiskanen, who I think is the best defenseman in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 If Makar is there at 5, do you swing? I'm so torn on it. Love the potential, but we don't have a great history of having success based on potential. Still like Pettersson, or Glass at 5 for the Nucks. Wouldn't be against Mittelstadt either, but seems like we might be looking passed him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Glass is their guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too, with Montreal at 25, recently traded Sergachev and often have a size complex, I don't think Hague makes it past the 25th spot, if not before that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the draft goes: Hischier Patrick Glass Heiskanen Makar/Pettersson/Vilardi --> Maybe they take Makar here over Pettersson Hischier Patrick Vilardi Heiskanen Glass/Makar/Pettersson - Really think this is will be extremely tough for management Because Vilardi seems similar to Horvat, and Heiskanen similar to Juolevi in player types and assets that they bring to the table. But I personally really want Glass over everything. He's got everything we need isn't a risky pick and has just as high a potential as anyone in this draft. Horvat + Glass would really solidify us down the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
