And he’s going to be a great NHL player. Big, smart, skilled, and mean. Lots of Shea Weber in him. Ummmm, I think I'll come back later. I'm sure you'll have changed your mind by then. Ha, no seriously I'll trust JB but I don't think we're reaching for him at 9. You never know though. I'm getting ready to have my mind blown with this draft, something crazy is going to happen. I just hope we're not the headliner! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we're not the headliner! Trading down a couple spots, and then taking Ceulemans, while adding another top-50 pick, would be an interesting play. I think Ceulemans is generally underrated in the public rankings (especially the ones that have him ranked in the 50’s), although maybe not enough to warrant a top-10 pick. Even if that’s where his true value is, I think he’s likely going to be available later in the draft than 9OA, so it could be a smart move to trade down, pick up an additional early 2nd round pick, and then take Ceulemans somewhere in the teens. That’s if the Canucks are really high on Ceulemans. I’m still leaning toward taking the consensus BPA top-10 guy who falls to us. But I wouldn’t be upset with Ceulemans and an extra pick. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have a case of Baertschitis where he isn't good enough defensively to be on a checking line and isn't skilled enough offensively to be in the top 6. We will see how he end up next year. Actually gaudette was better suited for the taxi squad lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've been doing a deeper dive the last couple days on the top 90 or so picks and wow there must be at least 20 guys I'd love to add to the prospect pool. Besides the fairly big list of RD's there are quite a few centers with size and skill like Helenius, Pinelli, Broz, Barbenec, Salminen, Johnston, Dean, Dach, Harrison, Winterton. I must say I'm pretty stoked for this draft. Should be the first time in 5 years I can watch both days. As much as I'd love another pick I would prefer just to take the BPA at 9. Maybe Schmidt gets us another second. Anybody have any info on this Ty Gallagher kid, he's a RHD from NTDP, 6'0, 188lbs. Also liking Nico Huuhtanen, RW from Tappara U20, 6'2, 204lbs, for our third rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re making progress on a contract. Sometimes teams like to move quicker than players. He’s just thinking about everything. We’re getting there. There are a few things we can still discuss. lame! play with Hughes in VAN! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McTavish 7. Lucius 8. Svechkov 9. Lambos Notables missing - Johnson, Guenther, Lysell, Wallstedt I feel the Canucks don't really need a goaltender right now, and wingers can be obtained by way of trades, as they're the least expensive of the positions. I agree honestly for the most part. But I am preparing myself for if wallstedt is there at 9 and we take him cause he's the BPA on our list. Gonna tell myself: He will be nhl ready soon Demko and his concussions concern me long term two elite goalies are important in the new nhl Spencer Knight is untouchable rn so if we had two elite goalies we would for sure be able to trade one for an impact player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm like that too, Today I love.... I've really flip-flopped with Johnson. He seems too thin to be impactful in the physical NHL? 165 lbs for a guy over 6 feet, he's going to need to put on serious muscle mass. But the skill is definitely there. I don't know, could be great, but a lot of hard work ahead I would imagine, and time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidt + one of our 5ths for rights to Larsson plus their 20OA and draft one of Cuelemans/Chayka etc. Take the best (likely F/winger) to fall to 9 Now that would be quite the swing. Hughes-Larsson Would definitely work I think. Maybe the Sedins and Petey and Edler and our Swedish gang here would help secure the signing? Plus the opportunity to play with Hughes and Petey. Would love to add Corson to the pipeline as well and that would make me feel very comfortable trading the 9th with some extras like Lind and Roussel for Sam Reinhart if we can get an extension in place. Hoglander-Petey-Reinhart Highmore-Miller-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Podkolzin MacEwan-Graovac-Motte Hughes-Larsson Edler-Myers Juolevi/Rathbone-Hamonic Rathbone/Juolevi Demko UFA Of course a lot of moving pieces. Need Virtanen bought out, LE needs to retire, Holtby selected by Seattle over MacEwan. I think it works though. Reinhart right handed can help Petey with face-offs if he's ever struggling one game too. I think they would complement each other very well too. Of course the lines could juggle but I think Miller slotting in at C he will have even more success then last year because we will have three dangerous lines and teams will have trouble matching up. He did very well with Petey out at C drawing very tough assignments. Hughes Larsson is a pairing that just makes sense. Edler on a cheap contract to protect one or both of juolevi / rathbone from being over exposed or put in a bad position. Hamonic I think really needs to be resigned and hopefully at a reasonable and fair term and dollar amount. Think his agent came out with that just so he doesn't get absolutely sewered on his contract. He really started to play well at the end of the season. With Schmidt out, Larsson in Hughes/Juolevi/Rathbone all one year older and a better hamonic to start the season I think this is a solid group with a good amount of healthy competition. What you think Agent? Am I going offseason crazy? Edited July 12, 2021 by R3aL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next Patty Kane would be 1st overall and win the calder. Safe to say Johnson will not even be in the NHL next year. I think its just playing style is similar with how they create offence off the wing and the puck skills. Hes suppose to have the top puck skills / stick handling in the draft and some lists do have him as high as 3rd overall. I agree with you though.
