We are gonna have too many top 6 RW soon I am gonna. This management stated that they wanted us to be harder to play against. They wanted grit and sandpaper. We desperately need a RHD. We need a third line centre who maybe even can grow into a second line centre as Bo gets older and if we trade Miller. There were several great prospects on the board that filled those needs. They drafted a smallish lightweight winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Tiger Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Lambert is probably a terrible interview causing nobody to want him? Mixed with production obvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the mens team got relegated. So he could be a part of something special in the team playing their way back into the SHL. And WHL giants are an option too Alvin said they will provide resources to him either way for developing uo to the player and they are going to talk with him get to know him better and see what’s best for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have traded it for a 24 year old 41 goal scorer and traded Miller and Garland. Debrincat would be a huge steal for 15th overall pick and would have fit our group's age.

Im surprised how many fans aren’t happy about this pick but same when we took ep40 so we will see how they feel in 3 years I ended up 4 for 15 on my mock. Slafkovsky 1, Nemec 2, Jiricek 6, Kasper 8. Wishing I'd done the whole first round now. Potential to have been my best ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping for size and not a winger. Oh well. Hope he is good. This was a BPA pick, I don't want size if they are going off the board with it just because of size. Last time we missed on Ehlers and Nylander because of "size" pick and picked Jake Virtanen, a total bust of a pick. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They picked BPA, anyone who has problem with this pick then they really should do their research. Canucks are now stacked when it comes to wingers and they have Horvat and Pettersson as centers. What they need is to fix the D by trading some players and going UFA route maybe. I think its a good thing, Avs won the cup by have lots of forward depth aside from having great D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree...these arguments im reading about size reminds me of the comments made by those that wanted Vilardi and Glass over EP. Take the guy that the scouts think is the most talented. If they have too many top 6 wingers they can translate those players into filling holes in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to get a couple seconds. Arizona has a crapload of seconds don’t they? Garland back to the Desert Fogs for two seconds? Get ‘er done JR!

Just as potentially good as lekkerimaki is at his. Wingers are far easier to acquire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opens up cap space and help us take a good player at the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
