A defensive centre, with the possibility of more with better players... A worst possibly a future Malhotra... what's not to like? A Malhotra would be nice. But I don't think we should be using our 9OA on a player like that. If we traded down, and he's available, sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I've been watching Lysell highlights and I'm liking what I'm seeing. The guy definitely has speed and good hands, smart, makes nice passes, great snipes, good defensively. Lysell isn't a big guy, at only 5'10" (so far), but he's thicker (172) than Pettersson was at his age (160). He may end up proving to be difficult to knock off the puck, his speed will allow him to get out of jams. I'm thinking Lysell and Pettersson could have great chemistry, lots of speed and skill. He's similar to Hoglander, but could be better? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not sure of his offensive upside and makes me a little cautious of using a top 10 pick on him. Some scouts are very high on him though and he is a safe bet to be an NHL defender. If our Euro scouts give you the green light and he is there at 9, zero problem taking him. I think if Edvinsson is available at 9, while Geunther, McTavish, Johnson are also available, I think we need to probably go and pick Geunther. I'm torn about those three forwards. They are all very different players. McTavish seems like the kind of player we need on our third line, but if there's a player with a higher offensive ceiling in Geunther, should we not pick him? Johnson would be nice, but not sure if his skills in college would translate into the NHL. Boom or Bust kind of pick, can we take that risk moving forward with him?

Good offensive instincts while being strong away from the puck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhereman Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) It's not about a player's nationality; it's about their playing style. The Canucks desperately need more high-motor, relentless competitors who play with jam and grit. Whether they're Canadian, Russian, Swedish or, hell, even Lybian... it doesn't matter.

Yes, I read that as well, but watching some video, I can see the same speed and skill, but at the same draft age: Marner - 5'10" 164 Lysell - 5'10" 172 Marner is now 6' 175, I can see Lysell getting to 6' 180+. I think he can handle the physicality, like Hoglander. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im kinda the opposite with those three if I had to order them Id go, Johnson, McTavish, then Guenther. I dont really see Johnson as a boom or bust player. He has elite skill and IQ, producing at the level he did as a freshman in the NCAA, I dont see any reason that it wouldn't translate to the NHL unless his development stalls. Guys like Makar, Fox, Hughes, Zegras, Farabee, B Tkachuk, Norris, Caulfield, ect have all transitioned quite nicely. Guenther is a great sniper but I think we need a playmaker or power forward center more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Have a feeling Eklund could go #1, followed by Beniers, then Power. I'm not sure Power is that much better than everyone else that a team will want to take a Dman 1st overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy who has health issues, and they want a young and upcoming player in Zegras and the third? Find another &^@#ing dance partner. Knowing Buffalo, Zegras' career probably goes down the toilet.
