Pears Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I don’t think you could go wrong with either Zadina or Svechnikov at 2. However, if we’re going off needs go with. Zadina. A future top line of Zadina - Pettersson - Boeser would be filthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue the canucks are avoiding by signing vets that people complain about and insulting the players. Your analysis is incorrect. Taylor Hall looks pretty darn good doesn't he? How about Eberle he played relatively well in Edmonton and is playing great in NY. The only real 'bust' has been Yakopov - the TEAM has issues not their picks And again, you're assuming a kid ranked 5-10 by most scouting services would have a better chance of making an impact than a kid ranked #2? I am surprised you dont see the absurdity in that assumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 After all the uproar about taking Juolevi over Tkachuck , I think they should take his brother just to sooth the masses. The kid does bring grit with skill. Maybe he could wake up Jake. Get Jake involved in some scrms and a little skulduggery. Then let's sign Kane and put him on the same line. If we can pay LE 6 mil then we can certainly through some cash at Kane. Let's make this team fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoast Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Draft as high as possible,the top end of the draft is where it’s at after 1-7 not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 BPA please. I really like the group of defensemen around the 10-20 OA range, and hope we can get one of those picks in exchange for Tanev. I was really impressed by Zadina at the WJHC, and the reports of his attitude got my attention for all the right reasons. The kid's a potential gamebreaker and I'd be stoked to see him as a Canuck. That being said, I trust Benning to pick the right guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Trade down if we get an overpayment. It would take an overpayment. Overwise draft who's the BPA by years end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams would have a tough choice as to how to deploy their top defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Naslund Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'm shocked at the trading down opinions in here. We can't just assume that all of our prospects are going to reach their potential and neatly start pencilling all of our Schroeder's, Hodgson's and Raymond's into our first lines. When drafting you take the BPA, plain and simple, especially when the difference in skill is so apparent. Also, a trade down in the top 5 is so RARE. It's not as simple as being like "hey 4th overall team, you want 2nd? Throw in an extra pick or top prospect and we have a deal". I can't recall the last time that's happened. If picking 2nd we take Svechnikov plain and simple. He's got franchise player level talent and had it not been for his injury he'd still be in the Dahlin or Svechnikov discussion. The funny thing is that since he came back...he's still piling up the goals. It's that whole Russian factor bias all over again. That's why Kucherov went in the second round and Tarasenko 15th.

People would want another Juolevi (love him but he's not a 1D and no D behind Dahlin is seen as a guaranteed 1d, they all have flaws) or Malkin ?

In fact last year I was so shocked to see us drop to 5. I am really starting to think its fixed. Toronto getting number 1 Edmonton new arena and Number 1. Phoenix is struggling so bad and we all know how much Gary hates Phoenix. If they get number 1 . I will longer think that , I will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.I.A.H.N Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 22 minutes ago, coastal.view said: in theory you are likely correct but on this particular team i think it better to convert this value now fans here have great difficulty accepting trades of players who have become a canuck even if they never ever pulled on a jersey - forsling fringe players who are traded or let go are cried over for ever ... corrodo is but one example i don't agree the team depth is anything close to satisfactory the pipeline is almost empty.. perhaps some longer shot prospect will make it but we believed stech and hutton were those guys... are they ? really? and dreaming that try will be back is a bit silly as well . cannot plan a team based on factors completely out of the team's control the team requires dmen i say let's get them now and not fall into the edmonton dilemna where their needs are so apparent and desperate that they seem forced to overpay I am with you that we should trade down from a umber 2 spot..... I am with you with we need D prospects But I have trouble with you saying we don't have anything in the pipeline Most every NHL analysis disagrees with you Our prospects are doing very well.......it confuses me that you would think otherwise As for Hutton and Stecher, they have probably reached their ceilings, or close to it But lets give credit to them for being NHLers......they surpassed their ceilings Potential is exciting for most......reality is exactly that, and we live with it.....doesn't mean we expect them to be top 2 Dmen Back to the draft......trading down is dangerous....especially after CDC gets a hold of it Not throwing stones, but there is a lot of second guessing that goes on here, and you are in there second guessing also Just remember your words today, and I will be happy.....trading down scares the hell out of me But second guessing years down the road, is 20/20 and 100%......not very fair....so if "we" support the Trading idea today We should remember that 2 or 3 years from now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
