Stanky Legs Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 First of all, I just want to reiterate we are talking about a frigging 7th round pick which they have 2 of. I get it, Ty Ronning is a lemming BUT the optics of not drafting a fan favourite, son of a former Canuck AND the restoration of the Canucks relationship with the Giants by just sacrificing a mere 7th rounder is really bad. Canuck fans all over social media are clamouring, pleading to just draft the dwarf as its like 180 something spot anyway, what is there to lose ? JB could have gotten some X-Factor points today but since they are so out of touch with what's going on around them, they took some overager that doesn't even have that much upside. Canucks failed to put a happy ending to an otherwise feel-good story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustABandwagoner Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Plz.. Just drafting someone because of his dad being famous is a no no. For Ty Ronning, I believe JB had a reason why he didnt draft him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteeun Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 We don't need the X-Factor points. I don't mind JB getting the best possible player at any round. Regardless of where that player comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Jean-Luc Picard Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Or nobody will care in a week, so he went with players he thinks will have the best chance of playing in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnarcore Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 We drafted a Vancouver Giant player from Surrey.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofsurrey Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I don't think it is similar to the Grizzlies not drafting Steve Nash though...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysACanuckFan Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 If Benning felt Ronning was the guy to pick then he would of done so. He went with the BPA instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hmm...Justin Courtnall was drafted in 7th round by Tampa. How's he doing in the ECHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_Wilkins Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Cliff, now and for the next decade, would probably be a better pick than his son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of where that player comes from. He didn't draft the BPA from round 3 and above at every round. Actually, even round 1. He drafted Juolevi out of need.

Canucks failed to put a happy ending to an otherwise feel-good story. I like the idea of drafting Ronning as well but I'd rather use the pick on the best player available. Besides, its hard to get excited about ECHL players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomniac604 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I'm guessing the pro scout had some better insight than you. And didn't really gaf about someone's name, legacy or birthplace when factoring in who he thinks will most likely be a serviceable player in the NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Perhaps the only beneficiaries would have been Botchford or Kuzma, that way they could write one of those feel good hometown boy gets drafted stories instead of their usual blah articles.

Stanky Legs Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 In my opinion, the 2 Canucks pick at 7th and Ronning are all ECHL bound or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
