iinatcc Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Another goalie with the last name DiPietro? Maybe this is why Benning didn't draft Glass so he wants to avoid the Irony of drafting a goalie called DiPietro and a guy called Glass in the same draft year. Benning decision vindicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks Curse Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 JB said several times they are looking to draft another goalie, I think this is a great pick and happy he dropped to 3rd round. We didnt have great goalie depth before this, now we do and he likely will play in WJC this or next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiPietro with the 3rd round pick. Smart pick. 5 minutes ago, BananaMash said: Great pick. Agree this is another solid pick. Might have a couple of guys on Canada's WJC team to root for this year. His is short for a modern NHL goalie but he has played well in big situations. And the Canucks could use another good goalie prospect in the system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I like the fact that we have another high end goalie prospect in our system. Just in case Demko doesn't work out, we at least have a backup plan now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Well - I would have preferred lipanov here but solid solid pick and insurance/motivation for behind demko. Hes Also a champion goalie ans has the mental fortitude to win a championship - great things. Like the pick! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalies don't always turn out, and even if they do you need a back up and can move them for something else. Having someone who's won at every level isn't a bad thing either. 14 minutes ago, MJDDawg said: An Italian in goal. My world is in balance again.

Rob_Zepp Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Best pure goalie talent in the draft but not the size of most goalies today in NHL. Was probably the reason Windsor won the Memorial Cup so clearly can play on a big stage. He will most likely be 1 or 1A for Canada's WJ team next year so will be interesting to see how the next step goes for him. Playing style reminds me a lot of J Quick.

TGT68 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Remember goalies take a while to develop. Dipietro won't be ahl ready when demko is nhl ready. Will be our ahl goalie after Garteig. Nice potential with this kid. Really like the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhukini Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 He reminds me a lot of Tim Thomas, same size too. Guaranteed a lot smaller of an ego though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Watched him play in the under 17's. He was incredibly athletic and made some amazing saves. Glad to have him in the fold, also, he looks like a great interview judging from the draft when his buddy Vilardi was picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I like this pick, probably one of the better goalie prospects in the draft. Pretty impressed with what I saw of his play in the Mem cup/OHL playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
