D.B Cooper Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 The Canucks are dropping fast with not playing games. When they come back, the majority of the team will still be recovering from covid. Chances are we are going to lose more than 10 of those last 19 games. Probably closer to 12-14 IMO. That leaves us in a great spot. Top 7? My vote goes for Brandt Clarke. Right side dman who can play both sides and push the play. Great future partner for Hughes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we are drafting 4-7 and assuming Powers,Beniers,Hughes are gone I'd want Clarke, Johnsson, Guenther, Eklund...probably in that order. I think there will be a few surprises in the top 10. I think Pastujov and Silinger have a chance at making it into the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways I don't think that we'll be drafting 4th overall. We're probably going to finish 8th or 9th from the bottom and at that point we're looking at Seattle Kraken jumping us, so we will either draft 1st or 2nd if we win the lottery, or 9th or 10th. As long as we finish in the bottom 9, I'll be happy... all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_The_Schneid! Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I think Powers could be the guy that falls the most from their projected rankings That being said he’s prob a safe Kraken pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In odds-speak, the Kraken has about a 10% chance to pick No. 1 overall and a roughly 33% chance at the top three. But you never know. Vegas had an 82% chance to pick top five but tumbled to a worst possible No. 6 once the lottery balls dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think there is a "supposed to go first overall" in this draft. Power was number one on McKenzie's initial rankings, but it was far from consensus, I've seen at least four different names listed as first overall from different sources that I have some level of respect for: Brandt Clarke, Matthew Beniers, Owen Power, William Eklund, and many of those have Power as late as 4 or 5.

Junkyard Dog Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) This draft there’s no clear cut 1st overall. The entire top 8 is a crapshoot. Anyone can almost go anywhere. That’s why I hope, if we’re out of it, we’re able to get a top 8 pick. Edited April 15, 2021 by Junkyard Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I was listening to an interview with an independent amateur scout who was talking about the importance, not just this year, but in general to have a good video team that supplied footage on all the players.... It got me thinking, who was that dude that used to post all the Canucks' prospects videos back in the day, that actually ended up being hired by the Canucks to be their video scout or some title like that? Can anyone help me here? @SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts, doing a great job. Benning has mentioned Biech a number of times in interviews, and has stated that the scouting team will be relying on his input to an even greater degree, due to the unique circumstances of building a draft list during the pandemic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure_Pavel Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I know they are mostly lefties but if we could snag one of the top 4 D in this draft it would be huge for our future: Owen Power LD Luke Hughes LD Brandt Clarke RD Simon Edvinsson LD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
