Canuck Surfer Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I am extremely happy with any of Dobson, Hughes, Boqvist or Wahlstrom. I like Hanfin, but would not pay more than the 7th in youth or draft picks. Strategically I would be going in with all kinds of options other than the 7th. And pay a higher premium to do it. A vet goalie + one of Sutter or Tanev or Gudbranson, their choice + any other unmentioned already player they want over 24 years of age... I'll stick with our youth plan if we have to pay more than the 7th for Hanifin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zadina 6. Dobson 7. Boqvist 8. Kotkaniemi 9. Farabee 10. Tkachuk I hope to god Canucks dont take boqvist before Kotkaniemi or Tkachuk. The concussions and tiny body will make him a short term nhl player imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 For those of you who are wondering whether or not Tkachuk might return or not: Quote Tkachuk said he'd like to be in the NHL next season but did not rule out returning to Boston University for a second season. "I think it's really too early to decide on that yet," he said. "I believe in myself that after a strong summer and working my hardest this summer I deserve the chance to play in a training camp and hopefully make an NHL roster. But at the end of the day it's what the team wants, and if I feel like I'm not ready it's another year to develop. I'm going to wait and see until the draft, have all the options on the table and talk to my family, my advisor and the team and make a decision from there." Tkachuk said the coaching change at Boston University would not affect his decision. David Quinn left to become coach of the New York Rangers on May 23. BU has yet to hire his replacement. "Whoever the new coach is is going to be an awesome coach," Brady said. "We're going to be in good hands." interview at combine. Still my hopeful guy at 7th.

I know BPA is the way to go, but I honestly thing that Detroit might not be as willing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pouliot MDZ (nice depth to have as injuries always occur. plus MDZ is off the books in s year.) Here is the asking price from the Canes for Hanifin: The Hurricanes aren’t looking for picks or a mid-range prospect. They have those. They would want the No. 7 selection and a prime, young, roster player to make a deal happen. But Brock Boeser, Bo Horvat, Elias Pettersson, Adam Gaudette, Jonathan Dahlen and Thatcher Demko are untouchables. source: report published on the Province, written by Ben Kuzma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feel they have a need to sell. And to make it public? They have to come to us. We have no need to a desperate seller what they want. They also need a goalie. I opened my comments in this thread with a quantity, from our end, for quality, Hanifin, offer. But still offer some pretty good & targeted help for them? I suggested a package of Gaudette & Markstrom plus a 3rd part for Hanifin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t in any way forced to move hanifin so they won’t be moving him unless the get a lock piece back. Is gaudette really that much valuable than what they already have in there system at center. Necas who is an unreal talent. wallmark (22 years old) 55 points in 45 ahl games last year Kuokkanen (20 years old) 40 points in 60 ahl games last (first year pro) roy (6’4” 210lbs). 38 points in 70 games last year. Also his first year pro. Saarela.(came from New York Staal trade, 21 years old) 43 points in 69 games last year. So I don’t really see why they’d have that much interest in gaudette. As for marky. I don’t really see him having much value. Is he an upgrade over darling? Is marky a legit #1 goalie you can count on to win with? i don’t see the canes moving hanifin without getting a legit upgrade to there team. Jones for johansen type but with slightly less value. And if that was canucks that would be Bo which Canucks are not moving. So I don’t see canucks as real player in a hurricanes deal. Buffalo makes sense. Maybe even the oilers.

Wolfgang Durst Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 7 hours ago, Hutton Wink said: Dobson seems certain, and would think they like Hughes as well considering they were reportedly interested in a similar player in Makar. I'm hoping someone reaches and takes Boqvist early. JB comparing the player Hughes with the player Makar: “Makar can shoot the puck. He has a rocket for a shot. Quinn Hughes is more like Samuel Girard in Colorado. He’s a better skater than Girard, probably. He can carry the puck up ice and when teams are forechecking, he can really beat them with his speed. “In that respect he’s like Makar. But he doesn’t have a bullet for a shot. He has an accurate shot, though, just not a rocket.” Seems like that Makar has an edge over Hughes because of his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem though, is Juolevi alone could turn out better than Hanifin. 2 hours ago, Wolfgang Durst said: Seems like that Makar has an edge over Hughes because of his shot. In that aspect yes, but Hughes has some very enticing aspects to his game, tops of course being his amazing skating. He also out-scored Makar in the NCAA this year despite being 12 months younger.

I've read on the hfboards that Detroit is extremely interested in Evan Bouchard. I doubt they take Brady, they have a surplus of wingers. I can see them taking Wahlstrom or Bouchard. Hope to god Tkachuk falls to us. Tkachuk/Horvat/Boeser Baertschi/Gaudette/Pettersson whatever the combinations that may be, that's going to be a fun top 6 to watch. Tkachuk would pretty much complete our forward crop. Then we can focus on defenseman from 2-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 10 hours ago, TGokou said: To me I just don't see the point because I project Dobson as minimum 3 or 4th defenceman but I think his top pairing upside is higher than Hanifin at this point. Canucks are still nowhere near ready to compete and it's better to stay with the younger defenceman. You make it sound like Hanifin is 26 or something. He’s the same age as Boeser. By your logic we should trade him for “younger” players. All I’m sayin’ is people are overrating our pick. Dobson has a higher ceiling than Hanifin? Then he’s not going 7th overall. Hanifin has top 2 potential as well. Dunno why no one brings that up or if they do they say “he’ll never be top 2”. Everyone at our pick is questionable to be top 2. Not advocating picking up Hanifin. Just saying he’s not chopped liver or inferior to 18 year olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I hope they don't trade the #7. I wouldn't mind getting Hanifin, but keep the picks. Trading Juolevi for Hanifin seems curious to me, why would they do that? Because Hanifin is already in the NHL? Not a good enough reason. Juolevi is going to be very good. If CAR is willing to trade their 6'3" 21 year old D future star, you've got to wonder why. This is where I'm at today 1. Hughes - the offence, the speed 2. Dobson - the skating, the size, and he's a MC champion 3. Boqvist - the offence, the shot 4. Wahlstrom - Boeser 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
