And move Kakko down a tier.  Hughes is by far the best prospect of the bunch.  He's on a level of his own.  

Nope. Kaako is legitimately up there. He is on par with atleast barkov

If Kakko is another Barkov then that's different.  I don't see him at that level though.  If he is, then getting him would definitely make Bo expendable.  We could move Bo for a young (top four) D man. 

EK - Hughes

OJ - (the guy we trade Bo for)

Stecher - Hutton

What part of his game do you think isn't legit?

Still see on the wing with us. A better comparison would be rantenen

We definetly need top six winger.  Other than Bo, who else do we have that's a ligit top six winger?  Maybe, in a couple years, Madden or Lind, but really who else is there?

Bo is a Center

you must have meant Brock 

 

prob only Baertshi who’s career may be done, Lockwood could surprise, gadjovich has a chance 

 

I agree with you id be taking a winger in this draft, with the solid play of Byram it could force a really skilled winger to drop to us 

 

really depends on the teams picking ahead of us 

 

since most drafts there is some changes due to the lottery I’d say 

 

LA : Hughes ( need a center ) 

Colorado : Kakko ( couldn’t be a better pick for them and I could see them taking Kakko if they pick 1st overall )

Detroit: Center

NJ: ? Maybe Byram

Anaheim: BPA

Do you think teams would give up a first rounder for a prospect who in a 2016 redraft would be pick maybe around 15/20?

 

So basically you trade your pick for a player with same value but two year older..

 

(I’m genuin curious, don’t want to sound polemic :lol:)

It depends whos there at that pick. I think some teams would.

 

My list is going to change really soon but right now my #15 is Broberg. If he was the next up I'd trade him for Juolevi.

I believe that, for the franchise's sake, with our great scouting, we should always take BPA.  The value of the asset is hugely important.  We need to have as much value as we can.  Free agency and trades can always fill in the blanks, but if you continually draft for position and not BPA you will degrade the overall value of your assets.

 

My point being, there is no point discussing who we should take until we know where we will pick.

Absolutely true... we are not in a position, where we can pick for position. Way too many blanks... 

BPA all the way.... If/when the situation improves, the better the player the better the return in eventual trades.

would not be surprised at all if we took Solderstrom even if we were in the top 5, his game is so dynamic.

 

For such a young kid, his game looks very polished for a dman.

I really like his game and I think he would be a great addition to our team. Interesting how he brings up Lidstrom and he seems very confident of his skills. I think his skill would compliment our power play with a guy like Juolevi. Soderstrom reminds a bit of Rasmus Sandin in how he seems to play a solid all around game. Probably with a little more offence than Sandin. Benning often talked about how a team should be rebuilt from the net out. We could still use some help on defence and potentially goal. If we did pick for positional need this draft we would avoid building a team like Edmonton. 

 

1st - Bryam or Soderstrom

2nd- Spencer Knight

3rd - R shot Defenceman

Virtanen is not getting back a top ten pick in return....sorry.

 

No chance in hell at this point. Teams don't pay a top 10 pick for a 3rd line winger.

 

And I love Jake. I hope he can keep developing into a power forward. But if he is gonna do it he only has a couple years left imo.

 

Edit: the plus you would have to give up to get that top ten pick would have to be VERY significant. And the Canucks, imo, still don't have the kinda depth they would need to do that kind of move.

You may be right it depends on the plus and Virtanen , (Hutton and Virtanen) (Goldobin and Virtanen) ( Markstrom and Virtanen) there are all kinds of combinations you can get a top 10 pick with.

Um, might still be tough to land a top 10 with those combos...

Draft Byram.

 

Trade Tanev (50% retained) and take back a cap dump for a mid 1st and draft Soderstrom. 

 

Juolevi - Hughes

Byram - Soderstrom 

 

That's a top-4 that could support a contender. 

Im on the draft Byram wagon, but wouldn't mind keeping tanev and Edler with guys like Byram and Hughes coming up.
