Noble 6 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Some of my takeaways here: Miller is considerably better than Wilde according to these underlying numbers. The stats reflect the notion that Wilde has all the physical tools, but is still very raw in decision making and defending. I've heard that one of the knocks on Veleno is that he doesn't shoot enough, and that shows in his numbers. He only had 6 goals before the trade deadline on a weak SeaDogs team and those who watched him said it was a combination of putting too much pressure on himself, trying to create too much and not shooting enough.he would have finished with over 40 goals if his first half in St. John was as good as his second half in Drummondville. I'm surprised Groulx's numbers weren't better. I thought he was regarded as a two way player. It could be the result of playing against the other teams top lines consistently (similar to Sutter), but I'm not sure either way. Noel's numbers are very good. Katchouk is one of the best players on one of the best teams in the the OHL and he was able to essentially match his statistical impact on the game. He's still regarded as a very raw prospect, but that's very encouraging compared to another raw prospect in Wilde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know he could be playing it safe as he’s recently converted to a dman. You make a mistake you probably get benched. As he gets more comfortable maybe you see him get a bit flashier. I could see him becoming a Brent Seabrook type dman. That Tanev trade everybody keeps talking about getting another pick in the 20’s and taking K’Andre Miller there would be fantastic.

Nucker 67 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Draft is one month today Hoping for: Hughes (who we probably won't have a chance to get) Wahlstrom Tkachuk Boqvist Who I think we'll get: Dobson Not sure how I would feel about that, maybe a bit let down? I probably should watch more Dobson video, but from what I've gathered so far, he's tall (size), skates well, has a good shot, makes smart plays, but nothing flashy. Sounds a bit like Juolevi, but with a better shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Mitch brown literally confirmed what a lot of people are saying about Wilde, which is decision making skills in his own end, dude is a wreck in his own zone my gosh. all the skill set no tool box.

He may actually "fall" to the Canucks now rather than him being a reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, players on good teams who do well in these tournaments are getting a lot of attention. Same with Kotkaniemi and Hughes, who seemed to rise in the rankings. I was also a bit let down last year when Pettersson was selected over Glass and Vilardi. But it goes to show that Benning and his team know what they're doing.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Canucks Army is doing full profiles on their top-100 for the draft. Individual articles on each prospect. #100-97 are up on the website and looks like they’ll be releasing a handful each day. All written by Ryan Biech (so far). EDIT: #96 (Kristian Tanus) just posted as well https://canucksarmy.com/2018/05/22/canucksarmys-2018-nhl-draft-profiles-96-kristian-tanus/ Links to the others are available at the above.

To be more precise, they need a PP qb and Bouchard is easily the top pp dman in the draft, probably the best offensive dman overall. Kotkaniemi is an elite passer, great shot, excellent in the dot and rock solid in his own end......they need top end cmen as much as top end D. Dobson is good, but I think he's a 10-15 guy, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessnuck27 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I dont believe that Dobsons memorial cup performance will push him into the too 5 or 7 for that matter. Everyone thought Gabe Villardi was going top 5 for sure after his mem cup last year and he went 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGokou Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Dobson finishes with 2 assists +1 in a 3-2 loss to the Hamilton Bulldogs. Now has 7 points in 3 games and is second overall in memorial cup scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKnight Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Im hoping for: 1st round: Boqvist, Dobson, Wahlstrom or Kotkaniemi. 2nd round: Sandin, McLaughlin, Miller, Martin Kaut or Lauko. 3rd round: Bernard Docker, Roman, Jay O'Brien or Jack Drury. Beyond that i dont know squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
