Than Clarke but if we don’t get either of those I say we swing and get Johnson or Lysell. Even though I think Colombus will pick lysell. Honestly I’m Okay with striking out with Johnson I love his Potential but I understand all the risks What are you striking out on? The kid has promise and can be coached. He can deke out an entire team, and make plays. Sign me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally dislike the selection because he’s a local kid and there’s gonna be pressure on him to perform. I kind of feel this way too, but I think he may be the type of guy who could excel under pressure? He seems to work hard on his skills and he played really well at the U of Michigan (point-a-game). I think Johnson will be a more mature player (than Jake), and who wants to become a great player. Feel pretty confident he has the work ethic of Stecher, and not Virtanen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Detroit or SanJose go Wallstedt, the we might actually see Hughes or Clarke fall to us. I have my fingers crossed a goalie goes before we pick, I think both top goalies are gone by 19 but the earlier the better. Cant wait for Friday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of Hughes, Clarke, Edvinsson, Guenther, Eklund fall, we have to be all over it and pick em up. Hopefully Benning finds another diamond in the rough. All it takes is a svechkov, Lysell wallstedt Etc and with those rankings above a Clarke or Hughes at 9 would be so sick 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does great! Take him for sure. Hughes is so young still. He’s nearly a full year younger than most of those other players. I think he’s going to improve the most of that group because he’s still got so much maturing left to do. Love to get him too! Damn, so excited for Friday!

Barzal, Hughes, and every other top 10 pick has adapted pretty well to the NHL defensive game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opposite could be true too, Maybe Power isn't that good either, as he has young, smaller, awkward forwards coming at him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Laine Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 A person or two is just about always goes in the top 10 that people don't expect. Someone is falling to us that we will be surprised. Who I want the canucks to draft is whoever Benning the great chooses!!!! #longlivebenning #kingofthedraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Picking Svechkov would be very reminiscent of him taking Pettersson. Fans would freak out thinking Benning went off the board not knowing anything about him. I’m good with the pick if they think there’s untapped offensive potential. Every draft it seems like a Russian goes later than they should because of the Russian factor. That being said we can’t afford to simply draft a bottom 6 player with this pick. Passing on player with elite offensive talent like Johnson for a third liner center would not be a good look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nucker 67 Posted July 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2021 Agree DeNiro, the #9 and #41 are very important picks. Could be the last time they pick in the Top 10 for a long time (hopefully) Benning needs to get those two picks right. Future Top 6 forward (#9) and Top 4 Dman (#41). I'd be thrilled walking away with McTavish and Morrow. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Bob McKenzie has Stromgren at 41... here's hoping the Canucks get him. I think he's the next great player out of Ornskoldsvik. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly he was 17, and the lady in question was 18. Bad idea from him, sure; sign of deviancy and future problems I don't think so. I encourage people to realize the world has changed, standards of conduct have changed; perhaps not for the best, but changed they have.

If he's available, after he should have been taken, I'm fine with J.B. drafting him. It’s a character issue. Knowing the position he was in with a bright future ahead of him he still made a poor decision by taking a photo of a woman engaging in oral sex without her knowledge or consent and then sharing that picture with others. Her face was not made visible in said picture but he then sent her online profile to the same people so they all knew who she was. It’s a disgusting thing to do someone. I don’t care that he was 17, at 17 you know what’s right or wrong and should have developed some form of a moral compass. I sure hope JB and all other GMs pass on him. Some people shouldn’t be afforded the opportunity of playing professional sports especially if they don’t conduct themselves as professionals. Mailloux and Mitchell Miller can dominate a beer league together but keep garbage people out of a great league please 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a life altering decision he should have to live with it. I hope he’s truly remorseful for those actions.
