I think 2 of Johnson, McTavish and Guenther will be available when we pick. Cant go wrong with any but I’d take them in the order I listed. I hope we don’t reach for a Dman if the top 4 are gone and hopefully Wallstedt goes ahead of us to give us an extra option. Don’t trade the pick JB! Take one of these guys

I have Detroit penciled in to take Wallstedt, but you never know. I'm not sure Columbus will risk a Euro player, which is why I think they might take Johnson. I think McTavish, Guenther and/or a couple others might be available at 9.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Wings took Wallstedt at 6 at all but with having that 2nd first round pick at 23 they might opt to take Cossa there or use that pick to trade up a few spots and take Cossa while landing a high upside guy at 6. If I had to bet I think they take Eklund but who really knows. Very excited to find out though!

All the rankings differ. I think Wallstedt goes ahead of Cossa but who knows. If Cossa goes before 18-19 I’d be really surprised

I sure hope not, but he may desperate enough to try and get a "NOW" player in exchange for our 9th pick so he can produce some type of result next season to avoid an eighth disastrous season under his reign and try to hang on to his job because I suspect he really only has one more year in Aqua-lini's mind (despite his remaining 2 year contract) to bring some type of success to this franchise.  Fingers crossed!

An 8th disastrous season?... Did you think going to within 1 game of the conference finals was a disastrous season... wonder what it would take for you to think it was a successful season...

I'm warming up more and more to the idea of McTavish...if he can take a step in his skating I can see him being a very good 2c/3c for us (With Bo mentoring his development). Arg...this year is such a crapshoot...

That list is very .... unique.

Raty isn't even in the first round?

Cossa 7th?.

 

It looks off to me, but the beauty of all this is that we won't know for years and years.

 

In any case, i wouldn't be upset with Luke Hughes at 9

The last time the Vancouver Canucks picked 9th overall, they picked their future captain.

 

I’m not worried.

 

There should always be a bit of worry imo...

 

OJ selected over Tkachuk = bad choice

Virtanen over Ehlers/Nylander= bad choice

 

Hughes fell to us, Arizona had a teenager making draft selections...and Detroit went for Zadina over Hughes for some reason...

Petey= surprised most of us as Glass seemed like the guy to take, so that was what I like to call a SMRT selection

Boeser= good pick for sure

McCann= bad choice since you dealt him early on for a slow, useless D and gave up 2 other picks while supposedly trying to rebuild...

 

Where are our NHL players drafted outside round 1 for us over the last 6 years? Round 2 Demko and Hoglander then Rathbone in Round 4 that is it....that is quite sad if you ask me from a team that was supposed to be rebuilding and gaining more picks yet we dealt picks out while rebuilding...

 

There is cause for some concern with our drafting history imo from top 10 selection to round 7.

I just can’t see us passing on Johnson if he’s on the board in that scenario.

 

His numbers along with his skill set can’t be ignored.

Plus in interview he said his favourite team is of course hometown canucks and favourite player Petey. He plays stylistically like Petey/Kane cross, why not have 1 more canadian version of Petey. Plus he can play wing which is a plus.

Exactly lol most here wanted Glass Glass lol because of size etc. where is he now? Lots of people said Petey was too skinny etc., this year I feel many people want Mactavish, Guenther wow size etc. Johnson is this years Petey we will regret not taking this guy.

Not fair. Tryamkin  is a guy who was properly evaluated talent wise but clearly doesnt want to play over here. 

 

Gaudette is what he is. A 2c who puts up 40 pts while not doing anything else like win faceoffs or be responsible.

I'm not a fan of Benning but why do people keep saying Hughes was an obvious pick? People in this forum were polled who they thought the second best dman of that draft was and Hughes came third after Boqvist, and Bouchard (Dahlin was consensus 1st pick):
 


It only seems obvious in hindsight and a discredit to Benning's drafting skills.

Yeah I thought it was a different list then most would have as well. Hughes would be one of my top choices in this draft, particularly for Van but I don’t like his chances of being available to us unfortunately

This draft year is such a dogs breakfast. If Luke is there at nine, the Canucks run to the bank.

To be totally honest, considering how many of the scouts, and credible draft guys like McKenzie, Cosentino, Button, etc are saying that very much this draft with its pandemic circumstances, you could find the best player somewhere within the top 15 picks, I'd love to trade down and recoup another asset whether another pick for next year or potentially a young asset.

 

Looking at this draft class, there isn't really one particular guy that stands out to me that we must draft with our first pick.

 

Considering JB's desire to be aggressive, I would not be even remotely surprised either if they end up dealing that pick for an impact NHLer player for the here and now.

 

However, if we were to select 9th overall, I'd want either Mason McTavish or Chaz Lucius.

This will be the year you see lots of movement I think. Much more opportunity to move up and down then other years
