That was just my first impression. I would put Korczak right below him. Just my opinion though, that seems to change a lot this time of year lol haha mine too. Not a prediction of the order they will be taken but a prediction of who will have the most successful NHL careers. Byram Sieder when he comes over from Germany and starts getting proper coaching I expect to see him improve in leaps and bounds Broberg has great tools Soderstrom Heinola might even rank him higher his ceiling is up there Harley could go either way he's either gonna be a star or a coaches nightmare. high ceiling low floor I'm not sold yet York Korczak I see NHL journeyman in him I think he may not be the highest paid but might have a long career Vlasic I think he is a more sure pick than the others he is going to be an NHL player how good of one is up to him.

Bjornfot Thompson Interesting list I actually like Seider, and was looking at his rankings......they are all over the place.....I wonder what Benning and Co think of him? I would say, I think York gets picked higher Good list, it will be interesting to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobayashi Maru Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 4 hours ago, NUCKER67 said: It's okay to be smaller, but the player has to be fast and tough as nails. This may be why Gaudreau was completely ineffective in the 1st round. Then there's other smaller players, who had grit and speed (Duchene, etc.) that has had some success in the playoffs. I think Caufield may be in the Gaudreau category. Bobby Orr Brink is in the latter I get where you are coming from but we can’t compare just on size. My understanding is that Caufield is a dig in the corners type of guy and a scorer. Similar in size to Gaudreau but a different player altogether. Looking at the top scorers in the playoffs you see players of all sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pay his wicket to commentate, attend and scout games all over the world, all year. Tournaments, Hlinka, CHL & USHL, even some league play and champions league in Europe. As well as training camps for national teams as young as 15 & 16, tours. He sees the top kids at an early age, then as they develop in junior, the USHL, all the tournaments, the SHL... Many internet rating services are by guys who run stats, watch games on their computer/TV. Button may not see as many OHL games, as say, as the OHL scout for any one NHL team. But probably see's more games of the top players than any one top scout? More than any one commentator, say Bob MacKenzie...

I'll be bummed at first, thoughts of McDavid and Caufield reeking havoc, and then I realized, this is EDM. They will probably rush the little guy into the lineup and with his small size, he'll struggle with the time and space. I'm not sure he could keep up to McDavid anyway. Maybe they put him with Draisaitl? With them having Yamamoto in the system already, drafting Caufield seems kind of redundant. Sounds like an Oilers pick. I prefer to see Pettersson and Caufield wrecking havoc vs EDM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 12 hours ago, NUCKER67 said: The Canucks need an extra 1st, plain and simple. There are too many good players to choose from, Canucks need a top 6 winger and high end D. My worry is that when October rolls around, we'll be seeing Sutter taking the faceoff with Granlund and Eriksson as his wingers, Tanev on D. What do you think about trading our 10th pick with Ottawa for their 19th and 32nd? We could then try and draft Seider at 19 and Bjornfot at 32 Then we would still have our 40th - Foote, Leason, Korczak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.B Cooper Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Was just at another giants game. I’ve been to almost all the home playoff games so far this year. I always pay special attention to Byram. I used to think he was poor defensively, but I’m changing my tune. He actually plays a fairly solid all around game. He does get caught out of position a fair bit, but he has the wheels to make up for most his mistakes. I give his D game a C+ with probability to get it to a B-B+. But damn is that kid dynamic. He scored the sickest short handed goal tonight, and made plays all night. He is a total pleasure to watch. Its gonna suck watching him play for someone else though! Anyway, Giants are off to the final after their win tonight! Sad thing is, the game wasn’t even sold out. Fair amounts of empty seats. Really disappointing. Do people from vancouver come to Langley for games? It doesn’t seems like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the Flames made a mistake moving to Abbotsford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
