I especially agree that watching the pp makes ones eyes bleed and that Bo and Baer are by far the best forwards. He said Gudbranson is probably months away.

swizzey Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 REPORT Canucks will use common sense. Great article, very informative. I was wondering if we were going to trade away the future for a strong playoff push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesFromHome Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Is this as opposed to saying "we are going to sell the farm to try to sneak into the playoffs and get a mid level pick"? If it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboarder Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 44 minutes ago, Mattrek said: Saying we have more picks then before does not = Benning didn't have a chance to showcase his skills in previous drafts. That was what you implied. I agree we are in good shape though. Yes, he had more picks but that's in latter rounds, which means, less opportunity to make a quality pick for a quality player. I am a believer that you also use draft pick to build your farm system so that they will be more organized than a journeyman with many teams on AHL roster when they do jump up. Most AHL teams are not organized and tend to be more of a scramble nature of AHL games than NHL so you use latter round of pick for AHL purpose as well with a slim chance of making the NHL team. Use whole range of picks for AHL as well even knowing he has no chance for NHL. See any type of hole to be filled up, use draft to fill up AHL roster holes. Use 4th or 5th rounder for a 1st liner or a top D in AHL setting with a low chance of making the NHL and also you have got 5 years of their RFA service after their 2 years of juniors. So you will need to fill holes once every 5 years compared to NHL where you may need to fill holes once every 10-15 years. You also do not want any journeymen on your AHL roster with a few exemption, if he is home-grown player and decided to stick to the same AHL team and that's very rare because most of them seek opportunities to make NHL with other organization.

6string Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I like the dynamics of being in a playoff race that the youth of the team will be exposed to rather than playing for nothing to earn. The second half of the season is when the men seperate themselves from being boys or baggage. After three years with Linden and Benning I am still on board with them.

I agree that the farm needs to be built, but no GM in the NHL is going to use a draft pick specifically for their AHL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoreanHockeyFan Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Well hopefully Benning's statements finally puts an end to all the unnecessary paranoia coming out from the folks at TEAM 1040 and here at CDC. Should be an interesting draft. Don't the Canucks also get a 2nd rounder from Columbus as compensation for the Tortorella signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
