It was not taken that way. If you are looking for good solid info you can find that on here as well. There is a handful or two of very knowledgeable people on here and you have to read a lot of posts to figure out who they are. I tend to read most posts on here but do put a lot more weight into the ones I tend to believe are the most knowledgeable. Some that you might like are Sidisme, Stawns and Rob Zepp. There are a number of others as well but you have to determine those you give the most weight to. One thing to remember though is that we are all fans and this is a great place to discuss all things Canucks regardless of how knowledgeable any of us are. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but here is the rub...………. Some of these young people here are crazy good with stats and analytics Others, actually have memories (unlike me) and they know their $hit But here is the big thing...….if you have been watching hockey for that many years you can give those guys insight into the history......like big trades (Park and Ratell for Espo and Vadnais) type stuff or Gretzky being traded the first time......those things happened, and they don't always believe it Honestly, I came down a little hard, sorry, but it is by and large a big family...…..you are invited Just take it easy on them...……...man you should read my trade proposals or my Tank threads....lol They think I am somewhat crazy, but they debate, and by in large , it is friendly Hell, I have even warmed up to Coastalview……..he has been on a roll lately...….with some great points So, I also should follow my own advice sometimes...…….Hey, Peace and Love and all that $hit! Stick around and get some abuse, it is free! LOL...………..and sometimes lots of it! LOL Cheers! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could then try and draft Seider at 19 and Bjornfot at 32 Then we would still have our 40th - Foote, Leason, Korczak That is an interesting idea Ken I don't think Seider will be there at 19 though..... If we could move back down to 14 or 15, maybe But man, that could turn out so bad, if you are targeting him and someone grabs him But I guess that means someone else if still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have their guy who would be available at 19 then it would be different but honestly I think it'd be a mistake to pass the chance to get one of the top 12 guys. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dixon Ward Posted April 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2019 This team is in need of more high-end skill and more high-end speed. Trading down for lower pics based on positional needs does not make sense at this point. There is going to be two or three very exciting skilled prospects available at 10. Let's put our faith in our Scouts and our general manager to pick the best one available. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedintwinpowersactivate Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I’m hoping Alex Turcotte is available at our pick. He is dynamic and tenacious. He also has been living at the Hughes home. If we can’t get Jack maybe we can get Quinn a surrogate brother to play with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyGuy123 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I feel this is the year we try for some size on the wings and hope Boldy falls on our laps. Not to sure about Podkolzin or Broberg even though they have that boom or bust feeling to them. I really like Caufield but the size does make it less attractive of a pick due to our lack of it already. Datch/Cozens/Boldy if any of them are there and if not I say we go for the RHS Dman in Söderström from Sweden. Being so tight this year from 4-12 it’s the year I feel we need to draft by position because short of a faller there is no consensus BPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 if Cozens is available at 10, then you take him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithers joe Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 i might be out to lunch, but i think JB is planning to sign or trade for the top 6 wingers and draft a D-man. this isn’t an e-5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always a surprise pick or two in the top ten that shuffle things up. I will be thrilled if one of Dylan Cozens or Vasili Podkolzin falls to ten...never know maybe Bowen Byram falls, lol, big dreams I know but I didn't think there was any chance that Quinn Hughes would still be there at 7 last year. I am excited to see who Benning and Brackett pick this year, lots of talent in this draft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Benning and Brackett feel different I’ll have to trust them. In the NHL top 4 dmen are more valuable then top 6 forwards. However young defenders development is way less predictable then young forwards. So picking a dman in the top ten is risky unless his name is Bowen Byram. We we all know that we could use more prospects on defence. But I also think of how many times we were shut out last season and Caufield, Turcotte, Boldy and Zegras look pretty good at #10.

Odd. Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Byram is the 2nd best player in the draft after Jack, IMO. Easily going to be stepping into the NHL next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB isnt afraid to go off board to grab a guy they believe in. If they do stay ar 10, it is to get a guy they want there. There will be some pressure on the hist city to want to make a splash too. Trading down is tantamount to hari Kari with the fan base and media talking heads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice of you to come to his support though. Very motherly. Dont be Mad John.... too soon? Couldn't resist. We all have the equal ability to talk, be right or wrong and get rankled. In many ways the CDC is very democratic. I am watching playoff hockey mostly hoping the team I dislike more looses... it was a toss up with the Leafs VS Bruins. Still everyone knew that game seven, Boston wasnt losing to the Leafs.... hate both... so hard to resist wishing they could both lose game seven. Back to the draft.... we're bored and speculating a bit, so what, it's a fan board. You don't have to read every post, ignore those that annoy you and move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a Seider, Newhook or Soderstrom type One word Kaliyev pure sniper just like Brock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
