Benning doesn't know anything, fire him. 2 years later, Canucks draft pick is a Calder finalist (or winner) and is a top 5 pick in a re-draft. CDC: Uh....it was a scout's pick...Benning doesn't know anything, fire him... 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta admit I haven't seen a whole lot of Sillinger... definitely have me intrigued. Brb while I scout him using YouTube lmao Edit: First impressions... average skater, good stick handler. He looks very comfortable and capable in the offensive zone, but boy, he has a lot to learn about the defensive side of the puck. Weak on back checks, and seems to regularly fail to cover his man in the defensive zone. Edited June 22, 2021 by HKSR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take him after MacTavish, Johnson, Guenther and well well. before a goalie or Lysell. That would put Sillinger in about my 9-11 range depending on who goes where. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this insight..quite nice to hear. So there ARE others out there making the top-8 GM's really scratch their noggin. Would prefer JB just keeps his stash, & chooses at #9. Why spend extra resources with this season's lack of certainty? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) I know we don't need another winger more than we need RHD and C... but man oh man, this guy would be a great pickup in the 2nd round... Get this... born in Ornskoldvisk... product of MODO... if that isn't a sign of the success to come, I don't know what is. Edit: A bit more on him... 6'3" frame, already plays in the mens league, good skater, strong on the edges, excellent stick handler, plays hard along the boards, and creative with the puck. Not afraid to play physical either. Edited June 22, 2021 by HKSR 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the only thing I would caution from that video package is it's against what looks to be "easy" competition given the score. Certainly an intriguing player though that had been ranked in the late first in some earlier rankings, but has seemed to drop off a bit. Would be a solid add if he drops to our 3rd rounder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll drop that far. He's ranked in the 40s on most rankings. Too much potential given his skating ability, creativity, and size. He put up 9 pts in 27 games in the men's league.

With the scouting challenges this year, I could see some large movement. I'd be fine if we took him at 40, but it also depends on who else may be available. Just saying that if he does fall to our 3rd round pick, then it would be a solid addition at that spot, especially if many had him ranked higher.

Doing a bit more research, IF Bjorkloven is actually a strong team. 3rd in the standings. MODO was actually the crappier team... https://www.sofascore.com/team/ice-hockey/if-bjorkloven/3747 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 If we trade 9OA (Wallstedt) How about Joe Veleno and Detroits other 1st. We get our young 3C and and opportunity to draft Heimosalmi/Ceulemans top 4 RHD. I'm a big Veleno fan though so I may be biased. or Matt Roy and LA's 2nd LA has a bunch of D in the pipe. Matt Roy would be a great partner for QH from "The Hockey Writers" October 31, 2020 by Zackary Weiner Roy played every game for the Kings in the shortened 70-game season. He continued to produce as a hard-working defenseman every game, proving to be of value. Although he only put up 18 points, it was third amongst Kings’ blueliners, and he also had an incredible plus/minus rating. As a team, the Kings finished with a minus-32 on the season, but Roy finished as a plus-16. Even on one of the worst teams in the league, he was able to maintain solid defensive play while still contributing on offense. Roy was able to achieve this while taking on a demanding load of ice time, finishing with 1,268 minutes. His hits and blocks show that he was playing a tough game for every one of those minutes as well, putting up 100 blocks, which led the team, and 132 hits, third on the team. So he was clearly a workhorse all season long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Picture it: Daniel and Henrik Sedin walk to the stage, up the steps to the podium, carrying a Canucks sweater. Henrik approaches the mic to speak and Daniel stops him to make the announcement, saying "the Vancouver Canucks are proud to select from Frolunda of the Swedish Hockey League, Simon Edvinsson" (pronouncing Simon properly) In the long run it could turn out to be a really great pick. Benning now has Brad Shaw as well, who will help if or when Edvinsson gets to the NHL. He's got a lot of upside and projects to be a top pairing D. Funny, I've seen him being compared to Oliver Ekman-Larsson. I guess Benning will just go out and get his own OEL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I’m curious to see who we’re targeting with our 2nd rounder. Really interested in Cossa if he’s somehow still available at our pick. He would shore up our goaltending depth. However, he’ll probably be gone given he’s a projected 1st rounder. Bar would be nice as it would solidify our D for the future. I wouldn’t be surprised as well if we go with a FWD with our 2nd rounder. A C is a must as Sutter and Beagle are aging. Excited to see the Sedins possibly announcing our picks this draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
