It's because he doesn't like small players. Anything he says about a small player needs to be filtered through that prejudice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken. Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 42 minutes ago, Dixon Ward said: I feel confident in saying that if Hoglander was in the US develpment program he would have gone top 20. Combine European with small and you drop. He looks fearless and skilled and confident and determined. I think he, Hughes, Podkolzin, Madden, Woo, Peterson, Dipietro, Gaudette were steals at their draft place. I am hoping to say the same thing about Rathbone, Keppen, Lind, and Utunen. I am pumped about the next 10 years of the club. Not to mention Boeser Complete steal ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I guess you can look at the fact JB drafted two first rounders so to part with one in the JT Miller trade isn't that bad? That's what I try to tell myself as I weep feverishly in the corner. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of how I see it as well, the Draft Round 1 - Pod and Hog Rounds 2 to 7 - The Others (who will never play for the Canucks) but really, it's the top 2 picks we should be most exccited about anyway.

That's what I try to tell myself as I weep feverishly in the corner. Personally, I just don't dwell on things. Everything happens for a reason, usually multiple reasons. The GM's aren't dumb I think we're just not used to pulling a major trigger like what we did a couple of days ago. I mean, arguably the last time we really had something like this happen was probably when we traded for Luongo. If not that, then when we drafted the Sedins. It's been a long time. Given our team's projection over the next couple of years, I would say the most likely scenario is the pick isn't a lottery pick. Perhaps it may seem like a bold prediction as people here seem to expect the worst all the time but we only need to be above half the teams in the league for that to happen and, if last year's any indication, we have a lot more drive in games than a lot of other teams.

Pepe Silvia Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 This kid sure doesn't lack confidence, looks a bit cocky to be honest. In the best possible way though. I like some personality on the ice. Hopefully he plays a bigger role on his team next year, really excited for him. Where would you guys slip in him when ranking our forward prospects?

BabychStache Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 That video of his hit on the team on in red... WOAH. I really like this pick. Skilled Swedes willing to lay big hits are always welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acquiring a big, young, proven top-6 power forward to skate on Petey's wing is obviously something that any "realistic fan" is crying over now. Much better to save all the draft picks until we have enough to retire on, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure961089 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I say we give Gaudette a chance on left wing. I think he’s a top 6 talent floundering on the bottom 6. JT Miller Pettersson Boeser Gaudette Horvat Jake Virtanen those should be your top 6, Baer has too many concussions and I think Virtanen is going to have a breakout year. Massive work needs to be done to our bottom 6 I don’t even want to go there. Wouldn’t know where to begin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure961089 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Today’s Podkolzin Birthday. 18! That’s why he left to go back to Russia so early lol.

The other two will be contributing in two years. If that first we gave up is the 20th selection in 2021, that player will Lille not be playing for Tampa until 2025. That’s a huge win for us IMO. We need to support our young core players now, and have young guys coming up over the next two to three seasons pushing for spots. We are going to be one heck of a team from 2020 to 2027. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thing a lot of so called "experts" do not know what kind of value JTM will bring (JB got this one right)....they would rather applaud dumbass for giving away a 1st round pick (in order to shed a player that he signed), so that he can sign Marner...Canucks are in stealth mode in their rebuild...I'm thinking now the handcuffs are off with not having to deal with the "over the hill" veteran players anymore (LE is almost gone...the last to go) because the new core is young, fast, skilled, stronger.and producing..can't wait until Lind, Gadjovich, Hoglander and Podz develop and make the team in a couple more years when more veterans will be ready to move on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
