WTG Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) I'd rather have 5 2nd round picks then 5 7th round picks. But that just me EDIT: But you are both wrong, picks 3-7 basically have the same chance of playing 100 NHL games. So you guys are both half right and half wrong.

For starters, acquired one 1st and 2 seconds, traded zero 1sts and four 2nds, one of which was 8 spots from the 3rd received back. The overall numbers and placements are comparable, but that doesn't play up the storyline thus the flat dismissal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the Canucks even or ahead at anything. Other than Demko, Canucks' best prospects are still in Junior and/or College hockey. The lack of blue chip prospects in Utica is a reflection of the previous regime's poor drafting record as most of Benning's picks are not yet eligible to be playing in the AHL. Next season we will see an influx of Junior graduates moving up to Utica and I think we will/should see a much better team there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams best prospects don't play much in the AHL unless they are european and they come over in their draft +1 This has to do with the fact we fired Henning who built that great Utica team. Also Benning really hasn't helped with trading away Forsling and Shinkaruk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last two years the Toronto Marlies have been one of the best teams in the league and they only play their prospects; who, in turn, shine and get called up with confidence. Benning's picks should be just getting into the AHL this year (that being the 2014 draft). McCann Virtanen Forsling Pettit McKenze Demko Should have all been in the AHL... however our wheeling and dealing GM has one of those players in the AHL. Not knocking his drafting because he doesn't pick a lot due to his trading to make the team immediately better. But that has a domino effect where we pull a lot of depth out of Utica and rush prospects (McCann/Virtanen) in order to compete for a playoff spot.

Sucks we're in this purgatory it's short sightedness by ownership and management. but by doing this. they will suffer. long term pain for short term gain. eventually. i think they will be forced to recognize that this isn't feasible. someone is going to lose their job for sure. i don't see Benning and Willie with the Canucks long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
