But at 9-11 in most rankings he's BPA or within a spot, so its not off the board if you're going BPA over need.

But we are getting a great player this year. if the Sportsnet Ranking is accurate, its possible Hughes could fall to us as well: https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/sportsnets-2021-nhl-draft-prospect-rankings-may-edition/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem, when comparing the value of a top ten pick, is that goaltenders never receive commensurate return in a trade. I’d say it’s the position that is toughest to move in deals. I would expect to get a lot more back if I was trading an ex top ten d man, for instance. If a team is lucky enough to be 3 deep at goalie which of the three is likely to be dealt? The guy with 12 nhl starts and 3 years in the minors? Tough to move a high first round but stalled/failed tender. Teams are much more willing to take on a project position player.

Depends on the team you’re dealing with, but it gives us a chance to deal from a position of strength regardless. No different than drafting Johnson gives us a position of strength down the middle.

No different than drafting Johnson gives us a position of strength down the middle. More value in that center,in my opinion, though. Takes longer to groom goalies or see potential in goalies and therefore, as an early first round commodity, I’ll take a position player every time unless I am in absolute dire need between the pipes. I’m getting more back if I’m dealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyGuy123 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Excited to get another top 10 pick this year. Moving up is just a cherry on top if it were to happen. Who’s projected to go at our pick? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we find another Sea Bass type player if picking 9th Edited May 20, 2021 by AlwaysACanuckFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specz Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I really like our draft position to be honest. JB has proven he can find diamonds in very heavily scouted drafts and with how wide open this year is, I think the chance of us getting another franchise altering player is very high. We are already foaming at the mouth waiting for Podkolzin to come over, imagine if we have even more big time prospects on the way when our competitive window arrives.

Hairy Kneel Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I wonder if a team would trade a draft pick or prospect for scouting tips from JB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will be available 22/23. Kinda like how we had to wait on Podz (still needs to be signed ASAP). Not sure if the JB wants to wait that long for another top prospect to join the big club. But I wouldn't mind. It would hopefully signal that the Canucks are building through the draft. No shortcuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
