westcoastsniper Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Moritz Seider is an interesting pick, but I think he'll be going late first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been watching him for a bit and am impressed. Would like a low first rounder just to grab him becausehe is way underrated. Plus the name alone. I was thinking there's no way there's someone with that name and maybe it was a nickname. Turns out I was wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzing all four walls and the ceiling as well as the floor. Guys cannot keep up with Hughes. Open ice or tight quarters. And has vision, a sixth sense about making plays others don't see. Scouting is about skills. Not a spread sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoastsniper Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Saw a bit more of Dylan Cozens and I'm getting the sense he's like a more refined Jake Virtanen of this season. Big and has speed, likes to rush up the wing and make a play. If he has space he'll cut in and try a shot but sometimes drives in and loses the puck to a defender. He'll definitely cause defenders trouble and give space to the rest of the team with his speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait till world jrs.. you will see I did, I realize that he is a very good skater but his ability to pass the puck and shoot is pretty average tbh. Maybe he will change my mind in WJC but he would have to improve a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not very high on Turcotte and Honka like most mocks. I’m starting to like Brett Leason at our 2nd if he’s there. Here’s hoping Benning can add more picks!

Not sure about his skating but maybe target a guy like Logan Barlage. From my mum's hometown. But Im not familiar with him, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Anyone here from Kelowna? First hand report on Lassi Thomson? Adam Foote says he's more than just highlight stuff. Has a great compete level, work rate. And of course has guys jumping from their seats occasionally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Pierre McGuire says that people need lower their expectations of what they think Jack Hughes is going to be, putting him more in the Nico Hischier bracket than the Nathan MacKinnon and Auston Matthews bracket. "He's not MacKinnon, he's not McDavid, he's not Matthews, I think it's a reach to call him a generational player, a big reach." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him as more of a winger at the NHL level anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason I'd trade down whatever the pick is and get a defenseman. Canucks needs defenseman badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks win 1st overall for the first time ever, trade down to 3rd or 4th net a huge return and all toronto sports can talk about is how vancouver let go of the greatest player ever and what this means for Quinn when his contract is up. For 15 seconds. Then a 4 hour segment on what kind of bagel Matthews had that morning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I doubt the Nucks would trade that 1st overall pick but it would be something I would consider depending on the return. They really need to address the D though.

flickyoursedin Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 We have Quinn Hughes on the team. If we luckily get 1rst overall you draft his brother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jack Hughes' stock drops and teams ahead of the Canucks pick Kakko, then I think this makes sense. If the Canucks win the lottery and get the 1st overall, then there are some hard decisions to make if Jack Hughes' is not a clear #1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid is a special player, just like his brother. They both bleed hockey, and will do anything to win. Having the two boys would be fantastic!

Sedinyoureyesontheprize Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 At this stage I think Canucks will target Kakko or Lavoi as their top 2 choices. Then Hughes and Polzokin. I want to see our current NHL team do well but both KaKko & Lavoi bring another weapon to our roster that we don’t have much of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
