canuckpuckluck1 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 For the last few years there has been a thread to post who you would have taken if you were making the selections at this years draft. It doesn't mean much but it is a chance to post your selections and in the future you can look back to see if you were on the money. The Canucks selected 5 64 140 154 184 194 I would have taken 5 Olli Juolevi ( really like this pick) 64 Cam Dineen 140 Jakob Stukel 154 Brett McKenzie 184 Rodrigo Abols 194 Tyler Soy i am happy with the selections Benning made, but these are the ones I choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I feel like this has already been done... that being said, I would have taken Kuznetsov over Abols or McKenzie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Drafting Jagr and Brodeur in 1990 would have completely changed our club. Oh and Doug Weight instead of Slegr in the second round. And Jason York in the 7th round.... That 1990 draft was insane. Well, we got Gino out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ojibwa72 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 With all would have been the best defence prospect available at the time. Build the D this year and move to forwards next. Goal looks good already for future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Not going to do them all, but I would have still drafted Olli Juolevi over Matthew Tkachuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EV604 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Bottom line we got shafted... But OJ was the best available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure_Pavel Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Would have liked me some cliff pu in the 3rd instead of lockwood but time will tell He turned it up down the stretch and had a great playoffs providing secondary scoring for London, Might be the top line center for the knights next year.

Tavrohorvat53 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Mathew Phillips. Undersized guy but man can pass and dangle. but overall happy with the guys we got. each of the 2016 Canucks pick show a separating/ high-end skill, be it skating, puck handling, shooting, passing or speed, grit , hockey sense etc. This is probably the most confident I've been in a draft class in recent memory. Solid picks by Benning &Co all the way through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok though I feel we got some very talented young individuals. I'm happy with the draft and I feel the guddy trade and Juolevi selection has completely reshaped our d core. (Not to mention hutton). I feel our d core is very well stocked. Our goalie d is very well set with a blue chipper in Demko and our forward group is turning out well. We are only missing the true game breakers at the top. Guys on our system or on the nux could become those game breakers. Ie baer, strudel, & Jake etc. Part of the reason I liked Sergachev was because he was a potential game breaker. I think we got the best all around d man and we are going to be very well set with Juolevi Manning the blueline with Tanev movING forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrytoolips Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I like the Joulevi pick, and I'm confident some of the other picks will turn out to be good, JB seems to be good at the drafting thing... Hey a bit off topic, but what's going on with Cole Cassels, I mean, he shut down McDavid at the last years Memorial cup, I know he was injured for a while, but does he have a hope of making the team in the next couple seasons???
