DelChristensen Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I'm curious who might be available for the Canucks at the 9th spot and I'll bet it'll be a Swede! Lol! I'm hoping Brandt Clarke will be the player they covet but he should be long gone! It all depends on the teams ahead of the Canucks whom they like and their needs but don't y'all think best player available when the Canucks pick!? Does Benning move up or drop down or trade the pick for a player that is young enough and talented that fills a need? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Canucks Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I hope they say they have traded the pick + Loui for an Elite Defenseman! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaramel MacKhiato Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Best player available is always the best option. When you select need over BPA, it usually hurts. Montreal selecting a need for C in Kok, and Arizona selecting and need for C in Hayton allowed us to land Hughes. When we picked need vs BPA, we got Virtanen over Ehlers/Nylander and Juolevi over Tkachuk. I believe in the 1st round (even 2) always take the BPA. Then after that, select off need in hopes of a steal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

komodo0921 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 My want is McTavish. A solid, physical player who, imo, could round out a very deep center core or can also add to the wing position. McTavish Petey Boeser Hoglander Horvat Podkolzin Pearson Miller Lockwood Motte Lind Macewen Gadjovich It would be awesome to be watching that lineup in a couple years time. That's a recipe for success. Ten of thirteen forwards drafted and developed in Vancouver's system. All bring different skillsets to the lineup that enhance the team identity. However, I fear my hopes for this draft could be shattered as I believe McTavish could go as high as third and will be off the board for sure by ninth. If this happens, I feel our defensive needs could be better addressed through trade using the ninth pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeridebc Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 This pick, imo, will be JBs biggest test since being here..has to be a home run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Im Guessing it'll be one of Johnson or McTavish if either fall to 9OA. Then again Ive always liked the surprises the scouting staff delivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller in two years is not a waste IMO, is would be the right role for him if he wants to win a cup! Think of it as 1st line, 2A line, 2B line! Honestly I like Miller as 3C if Petey can handle the roll as 1C. Edited June 29, 2021 by #Canucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping for Dylan Guenther at the #9 spot but he’ll likely be long gone by then. Meh, who knows. I’m happy with whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzipunch Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Our center depth is so pathetic after petey and Bo. At least we have Woo, a decent prospect yet nothing at center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we have Woo, a decent prospect yet nothing at center. Yes we have to draft a C or RHD. Whomever we draft this year at C would be Horvats long term replacement. On the flip side our team right now is deep at C. Deep enough to create three scoring lines, even with Sutter and Beagle both not playing next season. IF we draft McTavish AND he's good at face offs, we could see him play right away just like Horvat did. We certainly don't need another LHD over a C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 This player needs to make a playoffs impact, but I agree with you that I think it could be a Swede. Just feels that way with bringing in Henrik and Daniel. Eklund Edvinsson Lysell but I'm hoping for McTavish or Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
