Benning is quoted as Boqvist will become a better defender as he gets stronger. Its also easier to teach the subtleties of D to a guy who has dexterity, close out speed, balance to turn with nimble forwards, few more nimble than he. The power to get to pucks. The puck skill when he gets to those pucks, agility to break away with it so we are not defending. Then there is only one guy, Hughes, who can handle the puck like him. And another, Bouchard, who can shoot it like him. But neither can do both. He's an exciting prospect in my books. My take on Wahlstrom is Voracek. Not bad either... I don't really have a problem with Boqvist, I just like the other D a bit more. Concussions also play a factor. I just think defensively its more his awareness. He's definitely engaged and good at defending on the rush. But I could see him having some trouble down low in the NHL. That's why I say 2nd pair more than 1st. As far his play with the puck I'm completely on board. I also like that his doesn't try to do too much himself. I like Dobson the most, Hughes I probably like 2nd most. Then Boqvist/Bouchard are kind of a toss up. Dynamic speed & skill of Boqvist or the steady IQ based game of Bouchard. Wouldn't complain with either guy. Out of the two Wahlstrom is the one I'd like us to pass on more. I think Voracek is more engaging without the puck, better defensively and plays more of a team game. I think the faster / lower IQ Boeser comp makes some sense. Boeser plays such a good team game and b/c of it he's so good at getting scoring opportunities. Whereas Wahlstrom (from the shift by shift I saw, granted it was just of 1 game) seems to play more like an individual. Boeser drives offensive himself more than Wahlstrom IMO. I see him a bit lower tier than Boeser and I would rather a shot at one of the D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Well good thing they are exploring the Tanev route. If we could somehow get another pick in the 10-15 range that would be awesome. Kravtsov or Joel Farabee would be really nice adds with a 2nd pick. Farabee reminds me of Parise. Toronto's pick is higher and its more likely we are looking at a later first for Tanev. But even then if we could get good piece on top of a later 1st (or 2nd) that would be be good value too. Kapanen would be good from Toronto. Dermott would be a really really nice guy to get but I doubt they would want to move him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t put up a whole lot of points but scouting reports say he’s highly skilled. Definitely an intriguing prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I want to temper my expectations. Even if we only get a 2nd for Tanev (because he isn't an offensive threat) ... I have faith GMJB will make a great pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame they didn't start 4 years ago. Not just saying it but acting like it. Now we get to see if they will act like it this year. have you been hiding in a hole for the last 4 years?

Nucker 67 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I would be very surprised if Tanev was traded at the Draft. Pretty sure the Canucks intend for him to play with/mentor Juolevi. The offer would need to be outstanding, but I'm afraid Tanev won't get as much as some of us hope. Could Benning justify trading him for, say: a mid-late 2nd {2019}, a bottom 6 prospect who may not stick in the NHL and maybe another late (6th or 7th) pick? I know I wouldn't be too happy about that. Rather keep him. He has a lot more value to the development of Juolevi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck. Trade deadline of his final year we can get a second for him easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tanev is health next TDL we'll get a 1st for him from a contender, it would be great to have multiple 1st rounders for our draft hosting. Sounds like Jim has done all his due diligence on trades, but I won't be surprised if we don't move anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get a good haul then trade imo. Although I am realistic...we will not get more than a mid 1st plus a 2nd and mid prospect or thereabouts.
