canucklehead44 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Mats Zuccarello is 5'7, 179 lbs un-drafted and has lead the Rangers in scoring 3 out of the last 4 seasons http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=117131 Love this pick! Tonnes of talent, all around game, and built like a brick house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat Fingers Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Gallagher and Lucic where best buds drafted by huge rivals... JB went out and drafted this years version of Lucic and then went out to get his best bud on a late round lotto ticket. We should rename the Canucks the "long shots". Crazy awesome if it pans out, that's the type of guy to grab on a seven round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo5789 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Great name. Always like to root for these smaller underdog players to make it. Our new Brandon Ried! From the highlight package, seems like a quick shifty player with good vision. With a decent build for a guy of his height, hopefully he can translate his game to the higher leagues.

Pears Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Did we get our Gaudreau or DeBrincat with this kid? He put up insane numbers for a 7th rounder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwags Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 If he can get 98 points-40 of which are goals-all while only 5'6, his talent speaks for itself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24K PureCool Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Should have somehow drafted Suzuki. We would have a line made right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Doubt he ever makes the NHL but would be nice for Utica if he can jump straight in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darinbadershouldamadeit Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) I like how he plays the point on the power play, and I like his drive. When you watch the highlight package you don't really expect to see a lacrosse goal, and when the awesomeness of the goal jumps out and hits you I dare you not to say "OMG!!"

messier's_elbow Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I was excited till I found out he was an overager. Still love the release on his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched him on the videos I don't think he is anything like in style to Gaudreau. It's hard to liken him to anybody out there, maybe St louis.

Trymakin was an overager. I like the 'Fire Hydrant' reference. The kid is solid, has a low center of gravity and is shifty. He will be hard to contain in the open ice. Bure was the same weight and only 2 inches taller. Johnny Hockey is 20lbs lighter and does fine. He is a total long shot, but why not take a stab at a kid that can at least add depth to the Comets. He could be our Seabiscut. Who else are we going to add in the later rounds? The best chance these picks have is an outside shoot at making the AHL. No risk all reward as none of these guys is expected to make it. EmW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
