Buffalo, will take Power, although I think they should take Beniers 2. Seattle will take Benier, because he is the 2nd best player in the draft 3. Anahiem, ah Anahiem! Like I said they will either take a LHD or RW, so either Guenther or Hughes or Edvinsson........ 4. New Jersey will take Clarke if he is there......100% So we either get ahead of New Jersey, or pick a center. And if we are not getting a #1 RHD, then when? To go from 9th to 3rd, will cost 2 of Lind, Gadjovich, McEwen, DiPietro, and our 2022-2nd, you can add Virtanen into that if he is innocent.(Like I said 2) I would do that in a New York minute.....it is an easy move for me. IMO, we will not have this opportunity again for a long time. Luke has been playing RD... And the marketing opportunities of having 2 Hughes could sway that. Never mind a lot of scouts having Hughes ahead of Clarke. Could see NJD taking Hughes there in your mock. CBJ needs everything so who knows but if he makes it there, or to DET...I think that's our sweet spot for a potential trade. And moving from 9 to 5 or 6 shouldn't be to cost prohibitive. That said, I'm fine just taking 9th OA, seeing who's there and shooting for RD later, trying to trade for one, waiting until '22 UFA etc. We don't need to force it.

Yeah, it's unlikely. But if there's a small possibility, it's there at 5/6 IMO. This draft is also different than most... Could mean more movement than usual as well (or not ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we could get another second rounder if we trade down a few spots with our first. Maybe 9OA for 14OA + 46OA, or something similar? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be very little difference between #9 and #14, but the Canucks need more picks in the first 3 rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like: Boeser, 1st (2022) and Rathbone Maybe somewhere in the middle between both of you, Boeser + our 1st could easily move us up 6 spots in a draft where the difference in the top 9 players is fairly minimal. They would take that and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as guys that might still be on the board, Guenther, Sillinger and Lysell really jump out for me. I've been very vocal about Lysell, but Guenther would be a good get too. Not too sure about Sillinger though. I don't know enough about him to pass judgement. To me, Lysell's ceiling could be pretty close to a guy like Oliver Bjorkstrand on Columbus. Maybe more of a playmaker than Bjorkstrand (who's probably the better scorer), and more "dog on bone" than Bjorkstrand. Hounds the puck ala the way Costmar did in the World Juniors. His waterbug skating style reminds me of Caufield somewhat. He has so many unique tools that would make him a welcome to our top-6, and would at the very least have zero problem finding a role in our top-9. I'm totally sold on him. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Maybe they should target the players with the best bloodlines - Luke Hughes, Mason McTavish, Cole Sillinger Edited June 10, 2021 by NUCKER67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So from 5th to 9th is a mere 4 spots. I think CBJ is desperate for a #1C. They just traded away PLD. So thinking they want a C in this draft. Unless they can net a #1C in free agency or through a Jones trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was them I'd probably take one of Edvinsson/Hughes/Clarke and trade Jones for the C. They'll still have Werenski.
