We just might have our super duper center, and our super duper D man in back-to-back drafts. It’s going to be a really awesome decade coming up (2020-2030). I see these young super duper stars leading more than one Stanley Cup parade down Georgia. no its going down scott road 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree- always BPA which looks like it will be a high end C, if Byram is available and is clealrly BPA where we pick, then take him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Kirby Dach (prototype 1C with size and RH shot) next year and then Justin Barron (RH shot D with good size, excellent skating, #1D potential, and nearly a half point per game last year in the Q during his D-2 season) in 2020. Obviously I’m not against Hughes and Lafreniere if we snag first overall picks (been talking those kids up for a while now), but if we’re in the 4-8ish range, Dach in 2019 and Barron in 2020 would be really nice adds to the existing pool. Our forward group would look pretty great with a RH 1C with size, and adding a RH 1D type to the D order would look pretty sexy (with Q and OJ, plus maybe one or two of our B grade D prospects developing well).

D.B Cooper Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 4 hours ago, Deets said: You're wrong. This kid has an above average wrist shot and has the ability to get to the dangerous spots on the ice. So he hasn't developed his slap shot yet. Every scouting report on QH talks about him having a dangerous wrister. Nope. I’ve watched hours of this kids highlights and game packages. I’m not saying he isn’t great, but the kid has a total sissy shot. Big time. Wrist and slap shot are both very weak. They will improve, but let’s start being a little more honest with ourselves about our prospects. Some of them have flaws and things to work on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were taking about Hughes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 2002/03 year will be tough to beat, but I believe Boeser and Pettersson could eventually do it, especially if they end up playing together. 2 x 50 goal scorers ; ) 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team needs a Getzlaf-type or a Blake-type of Dman as well, but I really like how the scouts have looked first to select skill and then intangibles with the remaining picks. One more year of picking high would be good. Two would be great! Personally, I was hoping for a Boqvist-EP powerplay, but looks like Hughes can do it as well. The Canucks have never had a pool with this much high-level skill and vision in it. It’s a great time to be a fan. The building of the core is my favourite part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be fun to watch these kids grown into men and into whatever players they become, considering how close they are in their styles and stature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I very much agree on how adding a Getzlaf and a Blake would really set off our existing prospect pool. Dach has a pretty good chance of being that 1C. Great offensive instincts and playmaking, with a pass first mentality, and he’s been on a massive growth spurt and I think is now around 6’3” - 6’4” or something ridiculous (after being like 5’9” only a year or two ago). Kid needs to fill in and adjust to his new frame, but he’s looking like a gem. I don’t see a true Blake type on the immediate horizon, as far as a hulking 6’4”, 220+ lbs who can produce 50 point seasons, but as far as RH Ds showing some early 1D potential, Barron is a possibility in 2020, and he’s already 6’1” or 6’2”, and may very well grow even bigger over the next few years.
