Jake Virtanen makes the opening roster for 3 straight seasons, but this one is the first one where he really earned it. Boeser, if he playings alongside Horvat and Baertschi and sent out there for some prime PP time, I wouldn't be surprised if he scores 25 goals, maybe even 30 and win the Calder.

Rob_Zepp Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Interesting - wonder if this how this compares across the league.....particularly up front? 13 of 21 position players....first rounders. Doubt Canucks have had this sort of ratio up front (or even overall) before. Not that it means jack squat unless they all play well but I found it interesting. FORWARDS (10/13 First Round Picks) BAERTSCHI, SVEN - First Round Pick BOESER, BROCK - First Round Pick BURMISTROV, ALEXANDER - First Round Pick DORSETT, DEREK ERIKSSON, LOUI GAGNER, SAM - First Round Pick GRANLUND, MARKUS HORVAT, BO - First Round Pick SEDIN, DANIEL - First Round Pick SEDIN, HENRIK - First Round Pick SUTTER, BRANDON - First Round Pick VANEK, THOMAS - First Round Pick VIRTANEN, JAKE - First Round Pick DEFENCEMEN (3/8 First Round Picks) BIEGA, ALEX DEL ZOTTO, MICHAEL - First Round Pick EDLER, ALEXANDER GUDBRANSON, ERIK - First Round Pick HUTTON, BEN POULIOT, DERRICK - First Round Pick STECHER, TROY (Undrafted) TANEV, CHRISTOPHER (Undrafted) GOALTENDERS (2/2 Swedish Giants) MARKSTROM, JACOB NILSSON, ANDERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ryan Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Not too bad at all. Considering what there was to work with, there really aren't too many arguments to be had. I was in favor of Archibald over Dorsett, and thought Biega would be a good captain and teacher in Utica, but otherwise about what I expected. I see a fair bit of speed, and some decent 200' guys in the forwards; fair bit of mobility on D. Guddy & DD gonna have their hands full if/when guys like Lucic decide to "act" up.

cyoung Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 My preseason Favs: Gudbranson - really played solid Virtanen - he was everywhere Boeser - production speaks for itself, he needs to work on other things but that's OK. Markstrom - you can see a big shift in confidence already Really excited this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgarM Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Really excited for this season with this line up. Look forward to watching Boes and Virt play. Was concerned about goaltending but Markstrom looked solid in the pre-season. Really wanted Archie to replace Dorsett but I knew that was a longshot. Also wanted Pedan too but getting Pouliott was a nice surprise. The only question now is how much ice time the Sedins get both 5 on5 and on the PP. Confident TG will do a much better job then WD did and will play those that deserve the ice time no matter who they are . GCG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONYX Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Speaking of rosters and players standing there before the puck drop. I'm trying to get my son to stand with Jacob Markstrom his Idol.
