48MPHSlapShot Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 36 minutes ago, The Bookie said: Very, Very Happy w/ Petterson @ #5. For #33, I immediately jumped to see which D were still floating around - Hague and Timmins sure do look promising, and Timmins especially sounds like a Benning type, but somehow Robertson completely flew under my radar. Check this out from Canucks Army & OHL Prospects: https://canucksarmy.com/2017/06/07/nation-network-2017-prospect-profiles-20-jason-robertson/ SO, if it's possible to take JR at 33 and then a D (Salo?) at 55, I'm walking away from this draft whistling. He'd be a pretty nice pick. If we pick one of Hague/Timmins/Robertson at 33, I'll be a happy camper. I'm kinda partial to Hague myself, as he provides the size on the back end that we despratley need now that Tryamkin is gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) For d we should be taking Timmons, Walsh. Ferraro.i would love Walsh just to watch him develop into a better offensive threat than makar Edited June 24, 2017 by ForsbergTheGreat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on this. Hague might make the team in a couple years and until then will provide some protection for our young prospects too. We can't leave all these talented little guys to fend for themselves while they learn the heavy pro game. We lost Tryamkin and Sbiza and even when we had them we were considered a powder-puff team to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not though seeing as how they have Jost in the pipeline. I think they would take Ratcliffe or Dolan over Robertson but maybe ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastDave Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 At 33, I would take a chance with Mismash. He got better over the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats interesting. Lipanov, Dolan, Lind, Ratcliffe, Robertson, Mismash, Boqvist + so many others Hague and Timmins def. good D options available for 33 but if he likes a forward over them he must really like them so thats cool. At 55 and 64 there will be some good d available as well. Hopeful for 1 or 2 of Salo, Samberg and Ferraro --> who will play with makar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never now how this guy will turn out (russian factor, serious shoulder injury). It would have been a gamble for the canucks. Better Canucks pick safe.

Wolfgang Durst Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 4 hours ago, flickyoursedin said: Jason Robertson 81 points in 68 games next closest forward on his team had 50 points in as many games. Can only imagine what he'd have if he had some help. Colorado only team to pick ahead of us to start the day tomorrow and they took Makar so odds are we're staring at Timmins and Hague tomorrow! Does Benning take a d or shock the world yet again ;)! Robertson is a poor skater based on the scouting reports I have read so far on him. Isaac Ratcliff would be a much better optin than Robertson. Jim is high on speed. Hence, I am pretty sure that Robertson is not on Jim' List at #33. I admit that he is an excellent sniper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also fits the PP QB type of D Benning is looking for. This! Man.. Can't believe that Jim told the media that he is leaning towards a forward at #33. Connor Timmins at #33 is such a steal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like Comtois but his production this year and towards the end of last year dropped off significantly due to a concussion he received. He skates very well for his size and has some (perceived) untapped offensive upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is telling that to the media then he is probably confident he will get one of the guys he has in mind. I really want him to take D's at 33 and 55 and use the 64 on a goalie.

shiznak Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I think Benning missed the ball on Vilardi as did the other 10 teams who didn't pick him, but I'm happy with Pettersson. I actually wanted him over Glass anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
