Off the ice is an entirely separate issue and puts him in to the do not draft column in my book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a bold pick. I like Coronato too, just not sure I’d have the stones to be able to make that call at 9OA. But I’ve come away impressed by the game film I’ve seen of him, and generally believe USHL players are undervalued, so I can see reasons for taking him higher than his consensus ranking.

Coronato is crazy good. Im thinking in a few years time when they look back at this draft he will be in the top 5 of players in this draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 So will there be a 'rumour' thread for every kid ranked in the top 50, since JB undoubtedly has done his due diligence on all of them and considered each one to varying degrees at one point for 9 and 41oa?

Me_ Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 What a ruse. Everyone knows Benning picks right. Put the news out that Sillinger is the guy. Pick Johnson. What a ruse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I think the knock on Sillinger is his skating, an unorthodox style. Yes? Horvat wasn't a great skater either when he was drafted, but he worked on that. Same could happen with Sillinger. I've read he's a smart player, who's deceptive, has a good shot. He already has good size. I would be a bit surprised getting him at #9, but I wouldn't be upset. Canucks need a Top 6C prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I could see a team still drafting him late. Conversely it could be incredibly good PR. A team willing to give a kid, because that is what he was when this happened, another chance. Which ever g.m. picks him just says " We believe in the rule of law, not mob rule. The player has admitted fault, pled guilty, apologized and has done everything the court told him to do. We look forward to helping him stay on track and will have no further comment at this time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stock has been steadily rising, now projected as high as 10 or 11, or something like that. I can't wait for this :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to some pundit saying “there’s a chance” the Canucks pick (insert player x) at 9OA, well sure, there’s always a chance. I don’t see much actual “insider information” to support the claim, but that’s fine. Media guys gotta make a living, and Canucks related content tends to drive page views. Not that Sillinger wouldn’t be a good addition. He’s a solid prospect. I personally have him in a tier outside the top-10, but I could easily understand a team ranking him higher, and if our scouts are high on him, I’d be fine with the pick. What I’m garnering from a lot of talk is that the Nux may very well be focused on drafting for positional need this year and not BPA, hence Centre and McTavish/Sillinger. I’m partial to the BPA camp myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patel Bure Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I have a little bit of concern about his defensive game but love the fact that he’s a pure sniper and has been stylistically compared to Mark Schiefele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 If we are gonna go slightly off the board. I want Svechkov. I will trust our pick and be excited for who we draft though 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runtzguy Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Hm.... Sillinger looks okay but not that impressed. I don't see him being a regular top 6 in the NHL but maybe as a support player in top 6 but will definitely not drive his line. Probably top 9 in the NHL.

Bo is one of the very few players that actually turned skating from one of his weaknesses to strengths. IMO, if you're picking a player in the 1st round, and his biggest weakness is skating, then you pass on him. Take that risk in the later rounds. 1st round picks should be all about skill and smarts. It may not be the biggest guy (Kane, Caufield), or with the best hands initially, but it's rare to have a player who's a weak skater turn into anything great. Look at Gadjovich now. The guy probably could be in the NHL already on a consistent basis if he could actually move out there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydzik Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 He’s a wildcard as is Johnson if mac t or Clarke are off board I’m taking calls on the pick and trading down and getting assists and selecting ceulemans or lambos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure_Pavel Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I do not have him in my top 10, more of a 11-15 kinda guy but him and Lucius are two centers that could go top 10 if a team likes them. I just personally prefer Guenther, Johnson, or McTavish over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Hope we trade down if this is the player we target, feels like he is more of a pick around the teens. Needs to improve skating apparently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
