However, I’m guessing Benning’s tenure as GM is on a very short leash from the owners. He’s only made the playoff twice in his 7 years, and time isn’t on his side, atm. He should make this pick available. There’s still Free Agency, where he can add to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no one of that caliber is available then we pick #9 and I hope we take McTavish. It would be easier move for them too if they won another cup.

Sedinyoureyesontheprize Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) If we luck out and pick up some puck possession guys like Johnson in this draft we’ll be in better spot than trading the pick. Most of the top 11 in this draft is less than two years away from making their debut and you get to keep them on the cheap for the first part of their careers .. hopefully Canucks feel the same way Edited June 26, 2021 by Sedinyoureyesontheprize 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) A player should always play to their strengths. I hope our GM decides to do the same and draft and develop a player because his level of success at trading for quality is much lower.

All joking aside people including GMs should learn free agency = overpayment. Have to be really careful at that time of year often doesn't work.

c00kies Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Pick will be available, but I don't think there will be a lot of interest, or at least no big deals that will make it worthwhile. Honestly, a deal makes more sense if the 9th was package along with something else for a big ticket item (Seth Jones) rather than a 1-for-1. I'd also trade down picks if we could acquire a solid player, but again I don't find that likely. Keep the pick because the trade offers are unlikely to be worth it.

I.Am.Ironman Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I would lean to keeping the pick but still make it available. It depends on who the Canucks value in their top 10 and who is available when #9 rolls around. They will probably have offers on the table before the draft. At 9, you make a decision whether or not the trade is worth the player at 9. If by some chance Clarke is available, one would think they take it. If they are to make a trade, I hope it is for a RHD with size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa will be in cap hell next season so maybe a defenceman and a forward are in play or a possible trade. If Cernak and Cirelli or Killorn were included I would consider that a fair deal for our 9OA pick. That trade would address our two biggest needs at quality RD and second line LW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a shame to have someone like Edvinsson or Clarke fall to them but to have traded the chance away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t think Benning will trade that top pick until the pick comes up on the draft floor. He’d have to have a great offer to move that pick earlier than when the puck comes up.

ShawnAntoski Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Keep all the picks, continue to build the cheap depth with talented rookies through the draft and stop signing great intangible players to term & cost. Last years Flakes should provide some caution before implementing an aggressive offseason strategy cause it doesn't guarantee anything. Probably, it would be more prudent to see what system Shaw can implement first before making any major roster moves at the cost of (finite) future assets.
