messier's_elbow Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 If management didn't screw up the tank we likely would have had Mathews and Bo as our top 2 centres with Hank 3rd. Or else Laine as a consolation prize. This year isn't as dire as last was to tank. 1st or 2nd pick would still be nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His numbers are very similar to Patrick Kane's rookie numbers, but I kind of feel like he's going to be better ( even though I know that's a ridiculous thing to say). I dunno... right now he's got easy minutes. Lets see what happens when he has actual defensive responsibilities and playoff time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately our two prospects could not go to the AHL so Willie was left to try to make the best of it - which he did. Not to mention having to put young players into roles they weren't really ready for due to injuries last year. Horvat into Sutters role, Hutton moved up to top pair etc. The there was also that team record for the number rookies playing their first NHL game last year. When you put players in over their head, whether because of injuries or just not NHL ready, the result can be good or bad for development. And more often than not it won't help towards winning games.

Nice to see. *UPDATE* Boeser (8), Juolevi (18), Demko (33) and Gaudette (40) I've always been a fan of Button's scouting because he really does know his stuff so this is nice to see. 4 out of the top 50 players not in the NHL are Canucks prospects, but we over hype our prospects right?

Now that we're tearing it down and aiming for more/higher picks, a couple high overall picks, mix that in with a couple college signings and a few key free agent signings, future looks good guys.

Winnipeg jumped ahead of Vancouver to draft Laine... more dumb luck. There are no guarantees anymore as far as draft position is concerned. Vancouver had a much better than average chance of drafting in the top 3... but their luck as usual, was cr*p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
