They are tops in the league. Can't give away a weaker second than 62nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado 2. Arizona 3. Las Vegas 4. Vancouver 1. Hirschier 2. Lilgren 3. Patrick 4. Mittelstadt 5. Vilardi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilardi I guess it all comes down to teams and draft order if Colorado picks 1st they take Lilgren, they have been dying for a player like him for a lot of years LAs Vegas will choose Patrick hands down if he's anywhere on the board when they pick. They are gonna want a marketable franchise peice to start things off for them after that it looks like a bunch of centers and it will come down to team scouting because there are a lot of top level centers in the draft with not a lot separating them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will hurt his career in the long-term and what he has accomplished in the past is really impressive. If it was another type of injury, I'd be concerned as well, but it's not the type of injury (I believe) that is reoccurring, unless it is mishandled. I'm still not sold on Hischier developing into a dominant 1st liner at the NHL level and am a little worried he will end up being a player that plays a supportive role. Patrick, I feel, has the makings of a 1st line center that plays in all possible situations. I just feel that Patrick has the potential to be more dominant than Hischier at the NHL level. It's not like I have a lot between them either and a substantial part of me is hoping the Canucks don't end up with the first overall pick and have the decision made for them by whoever picks 1st. 6 months ago everyone were raving about Liljegren, and now that he has had mono, all of a sudden he's not the same player anymore, and doesn't have the same ceiling. I think that's the case for Patrick. Spend a little time out of the spotlight and people forget how good they real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioncanucksfan Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Another guy I don't know much about but don't see enough of is Nickolas Hague 6'6 defenseman that loves to hammer the puck and has already matched his goal output from last year at 14 in 30+ games. I don't know what his other abilities are such as D game or if he is a big puss or slow footed and gets walked around but his shot is amazing and worth considering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Looks like we will be getting our centre this upcoming draft. Benning better get this one right.... we should be going for pure skill this go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've honestly only seen him play once against Canada and he played well. He looks more like a winger more then a centre though. What do you think?

I see him as a winger, like P. Kane or J. Goudreau. I just know if he has those guys' hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see guys like him and Middlestadt and get a better read on their games. Herchier kind of reminds me of Ehlers a bit but that's just from one game.

It's not just his offensive game, what they like most about him is his compete level and drive. He's solid at both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does have elite skill, wouldn't he be better on the wing, where he would have less defensive responsibility? Then again, Bo has proven he can do the heavy lifting in the d-zone, so maybe we could have a really top notch one two punch at centre - Like Hank and Kes?

Says his defensive game is really solid for his age. He can't stop raving about him - says he's the most complete player he has ever coached. Says it's not just talent it's just everything else - he lists character, work ethic, the attention to detail, the will to be the best and humility.

If he's on the board when we pick, JB better take him. And trade Tanev for another first rounder and get another elite skill guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this Nick kid too but if we need to draft multiple top players so I'd package Tanev with something else for another top pick. id be happy with mittelstadt and another forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
