There's not going to be any trading down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more Scheifele. Scheifele is a stud though. Top 5 centre in the league. Hasn't even hit his prime yet. I'd take a Scheifele clone any day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we do win the lottery, perhaps its worth a 2nd rnd pick for McPhee, or a good prospect from NJ or Buf. Regardless, I wouldn't bat an eyelash if Benning selected Glass 1st overall but I think its very do-able to trade down a few spots, gain an asset or 2 and select Glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been noted a few times throughout the year that Weisbrod has taken in a few Portland games this year. if we did select Glass, I'm sure Ron Toigo will be happy with the extra attendance at his Giants games when Portland comes to town. Here's a thought going thru my head the past few days.... Say Green IS hired. I wonder if he calls his old pal Mike Johnston to serve as an assistant. There is a guy that would love to continue Glass' development 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we pick 1st/2nd overall, Patrick/Hischier have to be our guys. I'd be really upset if we went off the board for the first two selections.

You just never know who's got it in them to be special. We need one of these kids to turn out like that. To go on and be the 8-9 million dollar man. Be nice to pick a guy like Patrick and he hits the ground running. Straight proves everyone wrong about the "weak draft".

Vanisleryan Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) I dont think Patrick is really the concensus #1 pick anymore. Alot of scouts are a put off by his injury woes. Id take Hischier if we pick 1st, his skill is just too good to pass up on a guy who is a bit of a gamble injury wise. I know Patricks a really skilled player himself but his upside isnt really any higher than Nico...but his downside could be huge.

Don't know if it will happen but apparently his latest injury hasn't even been disclosed. He's definitely a risky pick at this point. Not sure you want to base your future on a guy who may be injury prone his entire career, especially when you have a guy like Glass available who is being compared to Scheifele...

Scruffy05 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 6 hours ago, HomeBrew said: Full info: April 17 2016 Hello Reddit, It's that time again. Last year I made some posts on the future of Vancouver, How they would approach the NHL Draft, and most importantly the Direction the team is going on. I have multiple Sources in both the NHL community, inside the Vancouver Canucks circle, and some inside reports on how the Canucks are moving forward with the direction of this team. I have always stated that these are stories, reports, and facts that were discussed with me, I will gladly discuss my merits through a PM process, go ahead. If you are not interested in this knowledge, everything is wonderful, just thought a few reddit posters would be interested. Coaching information: The Canucks have contacted multiple coaching candidates, they have had some preliminary conversations with Crawford (phone call permission only), Bob Hartley, Sheldon Keefe, Dave Lowry, Travis Green, Daryl Sutter, Shaun Clouston. Jim Benning currently has had the most significant conversions with Travis green, Dave Lowry, and Shaun Clouston. Future Direction: Ownership is on board with the "Rebuild", and they have given the management which I was told "The green light" to move forward with a future first plan. Ownership changed their tone about a month after the all-star break. Drafting Strategy: The Canucks are all in on a Play-making Center. They are also interested in finding a true puck-moving D-man. The names that I am hearing that the Canucks have the most interest in are as follows. Nolan Patrick Nico Hischier Casey Mittelstadt Cale Makar Martin Necas Nicholas Suzuki For the second round, Robert Thomas is a name that keeps coming up in nearly all discussions. Jaret Anderson-Dolan is another name that has been on the eyes of the canucks scouting staff for quite some time. The Attributes that the Canucks are looking for instinctively are Hands, speed, skill. Tidbit: Look for another member of the Canucks 2011 run to be inducted to the Ring of Honor. Sami Salo seems like the front runner at this moment. Bo Horvat has been invited to the World Championships, unfortunately, with Bo's contract situation is currently being worked on, Horvat let Hockey Canada know that he unfortunately cannot go unless it's rectified sooner rather then later. Hope you all found some of this information useful. If you have any sort of questions, Feel free to PM me. Does anybody have a link to his reddit post for last year?

Imagine picking RNH at #1 overall, 6 spots ahead of Scheifele... I guess Edmonton got the last laugh though when McJesus fell into their lap...

kenhodgejr Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 If we pick 5th and the following players have been taken. Who would you take at #5? 1. Patrick 2. Hischier 3. Vilardi 4. Mitlestadt 5. Liljegren, Glass, Necas, Rasmussen, Tolvanen, Tippett ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of having two possible #1 Dmen in Liljegrin and Juolevi gets me pretty stoked about the future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could stomach taking Glass over Mittelstadt but not Vilardi. Mittelstadt seems more risky cause of a smaller sample size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
