(Maybe throw Newhook in too since they brought him in) But I imagine if they stay at 10 the pick is one of these guys. Benning keeps talking about defenceman, hard not to get the sense they are leaning towards a D. Its interesting that he says they like alot of the Dmen, after already saying they'd be open to trading down. (Seider, anyone?) I keep thinking Broberg is their BPA, and Soderstrom is probably #2. But I also think EDM really likes Broberg, wouldn't be surprised at all if he goes #8 as this executive says. (or #9 to Anaheim). At this point, if Broberg is available @ 10 I'd be very surprised if he's not our pick. I think if Broberg goes earlier it would be to Edmonton. Anaheim has a pretty solid d corps and prospects do they aren’t in desperate need. Up front they are, Kesler, Perry aging our, Getzlaf only has a few more years of elite play left. I think they go with a forward, but Edm most definitely is a high probability to take any dman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18W-40C-6W Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I have a feeling the Nucks are playing poker here. 1) at ten they want a forward or a d other than broberg. They want to see if anyone below wants him and will trade up. 2) my guess is they have their eye on Seider, Harley or York. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontFockWithBrock Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Until recently, I really wanted one of the talented forwards. Now leaning towards broberg/soderstrom... I guess I don't really care who we pick, I just want to start rooting for one of these kids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as our pick turns into a player that can become apart of our core. It’s harder than hell having to look back at all the players you missed and could of had but instead went with another. I trust Jim. Boldy, Broberg, Pod or Zeg for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JB has a forward in mind for the top 10, but if he isn't available, he goes with a dman (and hopefully moves down to the Panthers (13th). I like Zegras, Krebs, Pod or Soderstrom (at #13) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact if Jim feels strongly about one, I hope he moves up to snag his guy. We’ve seen how sharp his eye for talent is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clock Tower Prison Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Regardless of who the Canucks pick, I'm really hoping that the philosophy going into this draft is still all about speed and skill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 ^ aside from what I consider temporary UFA signings, JB's all about the younger, faster, more skilled core. We're getting there..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Agenda for offseason. Keep and use our picks. Try to acquire more if possible. Forget Edler and trade LE. Spend wisely in the UFA market but go after the best players and forget about second tier ones . If we are going to over pay let's do it for someone who produces at a high level. Move Sutter and Tanev for picks. No more projects. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zegras, Caufield.......and if it has to be a dman, Seider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money back on both could be spent to acquire one good D man or forward. Cash might be worth more then either player. Eight plus mill. Push Gaudette this year and see how he develops. Sign two solid D men. Drop 20 mil on them. But go after the best players out there. Take what you can get for Tanev and Sutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take what you can get for Tanev and Sutter. There's no money issues for the next few years regardless. Not that I am against trading Suter, he's more valuable to the team than the return he'd get in a trade. AG isn't close to taking that role yet........he's still very raw and still a question mark oif he's even going to be able to be an everyday player of any impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Higgins Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 The draft excitement is really starting to ramp up the closer we get. This draft being so wide open after #2 makes it even more intriguing. Plus all the trade chatter, even more than most years. Just cant wait to see how it all unfolds 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seannnp Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 11 hours ago, SILLY GOOSE said: Newhook is a dynamo. And he is extremely shifty. I think this kid has a high ceiling. If he's taken though Im more than happy with Krebs, and if not Podkolzin and pray to god he works out. I think of the 3, Podk has the highest ceiling and by a fair margin. This kid has all the tools to be a superstar. Reminds me a little of Ovehckin with his relentless style of play and never give up attitude. I think Newhook is next on the list as far as skills go, followed closely by Krebs. Compete level its again Podk followed by Krebs and Newhook. Heart and Soul - Krebs, Podk, Newhook. In the forward group my rankings would go Podk, Krebs, Boldy, Newhook. I would be happy with either of them come draft day. I really hope we don't trade away the 10th for Risto or anyone else.

Smashian Kassian Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Really excited. Hopefully a good forward falls & we dont end up trading the pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He head faked in both the Pettersson and Hughes’s draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure961089 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 When Jim goes hunting is never works out. When he drafts Best Player Available it always works. Think how further along we would be had we just picked the BPA instead of effing around. We have too many needs to play around with this pick.

Pure961089 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 It’s one of these drafts where players like Newhook, Broberg, Caufield can get picked in the top 10 because of those teams internal data and the Canucks are gift wrapped Dach or Zegras. It can happen. It’s just one of those drafts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
