GB5 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 With all this talk about Seider I was hoping to see him play this morning, looks like the only games on is Sweden/Italy....that said, I'm good "settling" for watching Dekey Pete anyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy overpayment. i will offer the 10th pick and Hutton and maybe dipietro and that’s about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but dipietro is a no go for me. Would not trade that kid period. I want to see him develop. This could be the big game goalie like we have never seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks Curse Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Dipietro is a great trade chip beartschi abd dipietro for ristoleinen i think buffalo is short on goalies and may lose skinner beartschi is at least half decent top 6 if he stays healthy sign one of duchenne/lee/nelson skinner or nyquist are a bit less desirable for me BC they lack grit draft krebs or seider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would want someone ready now if they even consider giving up their top deployed dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve watched a lot of Byram this year. Granted it’s only on my iPad and not live, but I worry about Byram’s top end speed. His hockey smarts are off the charts though.

He's an effortless skater much like Pronger was. He looks like he's moving slow but two strides can get anywhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not fast though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby_Lu1ngo Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Colorado has a filthy defense going forward. If they add Byram it just wont even be funny. They have Barrie, Makar, Girard, Johnson and Timmins on the way. Would be without a doubt the best top 6 in the league in a year or two especially adding Byram. But i think there could be a possibility that they would consider moving the pick. I think they would like to add depth up front in their top 9. Virtanen, Dipietro and our number 10 for number 4 overall? I know its a lot to trade to move up 6 spots but thats usually what you gotta do to move up. If there was a year where it might make sense it might be this year because the forwards between 4-10 are relatively equal so if avs prefer a forward over defense then it is almost a no brainer for them to do a trade down. They could probably grab boldy or krebs at 10 and still grab another dman with their 2nd first. Avs would be looking deep with adding a stud goalie prospect, virts speed fits their style well, and still have two solid firsts to work with.

Grabs doesn't look like he's skating hard, but you just see him pull further away from the defender chasing him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado's biggest need is secondary forwards behind MacKinnon, particularly at 2C. Landing Turcotte Dach, or whoever their best forward available is who could contribute on an ELC for 3 years is much more valuable than that package.

Nucker 67 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Soon, Hughes, Kakko, Byram etc. will all be the enemy. I'm not going to pump their tires. Looking forward to seeing who Benning drafts at #10. This could be his last draft as the Canucks GM (depending on playoffs next year), so he's going to have to make a very smart pick. I think he goes with a Dman: Broberg, Soderstrom, York, Harley or Seider. And then gets a forward with the 2nd. Maybe he nabs another 2nd and they get Beecher and Grewe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
