I’m pretty sure he said there were no top end d the year they took OJ.... obviously spending a pick on him as high as they did says that what a smoke screen. Perhaps one could interpret it that way - but he's also said from day one that in his vision of a successful model you build from the net, to defence, to center so in that respect he's stuck to that philosophy pretty closely with Demko, OJ, Hughes, EP. He's really been steadily accumulating defence and centermen. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if he took another center or defenceman this year - and with who may be available (Krebs, Broberg, Soderstom, Zegras, Cozens) I would be ok with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble 6 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 1 hour ago, YearoftheNuck said: This quote basically kills my hopes of getting Boldy, the left winger, lol. Of course we all know that wingers hold the least value of all the positions, but Benning’s emphasis here on the order of positional importance really makes me think that he won’t be going with a winger with this year’s 10th. My guess is that he’s targeting Söderström, Krebs and Zegras. Possibly Broberg too. Both Krebs and Söderström just scream a Benning kind of player to me. The great thing is that anyone of those four players would be a very welcome addition to our prospect pool. Broberg has a few elements of his game that make me a bit nervous, but if he reaches his potential he could easily be better than the other three players mentioned. Also, he’s extremely entertaining to watch I’m personally hoping for Zegras though. Boldy has been a center his whole life up until this season I'm pretty sure. If they're confident in his ability then the positional thing shouldn't make too much of an impact. He also went through the Dexter program, the same one as Rathbone and the one that Brackett has ties to I believe. He's likely gotten some inside information on Boldy from his connections there. I think Boldy goes to Buffalo (great fit for what they have up front) so he doesn't even reach us, but I don't think the Canucks and Brackett specifically would disregard him for position unless they found something they didn't like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday:Matthew Boldy Tuesday: Philip Broberg Wednesday: Victor Soderstrom Thursday: Peyton Krebs Friday: Trevor Zegras As this says, I assume Kuz has an inside track & these are the guys the Canucks are really considering. (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. Quote “There are a lot of defencemen that we like,” said Benning. “If that guy is there at No. 10 we’ll be taking him. It’s been proved that good teams are built through the goalie, defence and centre. That’s the basic principle.” “Broberg will be gone — his stock went up about 10 points at the combine,” predicted an NHL executive. 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brobidus Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Lots of distaste for Caufield and Podkolzin. I'm kind of surprised. They impressed me the most so far. So much skill between the two. Anyone care to explain their thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podkolzin was a consensus at #3 at the beginning and dropped in most of the rankings mostly because of his lack of production at the U18 tournament in Sweden. hockey analysts/scouts do agree that Podkolzin has top 5 talent. Craig Button loves Caufield and had him ranked pretty high, at #5 (by memory). He is a pure goal scorer, the best goal scorer in this draft class. There are some concerns how his game / production will translate to the NHL level, mainly because of his size. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he shoots the puck, leverages on one timers and finding the soft spots blue-line in, its something the great goal scorers have and he has it. Mark my works, if hes not the 3rd, he might be even better. Caufield will be the Patrick Mahomes of the NHL where when he makes it to the bigs ,is gonna take the league by storm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Zegras doesn't shoot like Pettersson at all, Zegras is quicker than Pettersson, more of a pure passer, doesn't has the netfront game Pettersson has. Craig's got some good analysis of prospects but sometimes his comparisons are off to me. I agree (based off of highlights). Button compared Caufield to Messi, so... we should draft Caufield and sell him for 200 million euro to Barcelona or Real Madrid. Love your sig by the way. Very much the same emotion displayed by Kesler after losing game 7 in 2011 SCF. Karma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silky mitts Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Broberg has problems "thinking the game" but has the physical tools. That is scary he is like a virtanen pick.. hopefully we stay very clear 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
