Style is cyclical and by the time Pettersson is ready to be an everyday player, the league may well have cycled around to big bodied, physical players. That said, he might be very very good That's a fair assumption. However I think I would still have him high on my list. Throw a certain large, power winger from Utica on his wing and you have an ice blend of speed, Skill, and size. All in all the Canucks need guys who can make plays in the O-zone. I don't care how it's done or by whom. All the play making centres seem like good options. I trust JB enough to pick a centre who will develop properly.

Beaullieau and Tanev would be a big upgrade from last year and would be directly addressing the Sabres back end woes to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Petersson is the elite number one play making center we need, then maybe it's worth the risk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping their cards close to their chests has become an art form. A lot of us assume that it'll be Glass, Pettersson or Makar, but maybe they have a completely different player in mind? Same with last year, they may have been targeting Dubois, with Juolevi as their second choice. They kept that a pretty good secret. For all we know, they are targeting Vilardi this year, but not hinting at that, in hopes he drops to #5. The not knowing what their plan is creates a thousand possible scenarios. I am hoping for a C. The Canucks wanting Dubois was a terribly kept secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I've been on the trade Tanev train for a cpl years now, it's purely out of injury issues. He is a top defensive dman who can absolutely stabilize a dcorp......any offer for him needs to reflect that. At #8, I'd want a prospect included on their end, even if #55 is thrown in from the Canucks side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their top 2 dmen are both righties and they have +5M salary caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHitman Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) If we have two high picks in this draft I don't see why we wouldn't pick two of Glass, Pettersson, and Vilardi. None of the defensemen have the ceiling of those three guys who could all potentially be the steals in this draft. Plenty of defensemen to choose from next year who'll be much better than any of the top defensemen in this draft unless Liljegren rebounds. An early second round pick next year will get us a better defensemen than Makar or Heiskanen. Edited June 19, 2017 by TheHitman 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray got fired mainly for not addressing Buffalo's glaring defensive holes. Lehner is a decent enough goalie IMO but they D-Corps needs some retooling outside of Risto obviously.

Sugar baby watermelon Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 This year at 5 does not feel like last year at 5. Even if it goes 1. Patrick 2. Hischier 3. Vilardi 4. Glass there are still a few great potential 1C options available as well as good defensive prospects. It opens up even more if either Heiskanen or Makar are taken in those 3 and 4 spots doesn't it. Myself, I will probably stand up if one of those guys goes in the 3 or 4 spot because of the potential drafting of either Glass or Vilardi, I will stand up and scream in joy haha.... I like Makar more than Heiskanen but this year with our 1st selection we need that potential 1C and there are more of those options this year and more Defensive selections in next years draft. This draft is going to be exciting and we need Benning to not be the Benning of last year but one that picks a C this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At #8, I'd want a prospect included on their end, even if #55 is thrown in from the Canucks side Believe me I would love a 1rst round and a prospect if we could land it. I just fear that Benning's price could be too high for some potential partners. Like you said Tanev is great when healthy but worthless when he's in the press box. His value is probably as high as it's going to be at this point. I just want to take advantage of his value but also not get fleeced. N'aw mean?
