NHL Draft Lottery to be held on May 10th

So, who reps the Canucks?  JR or Allvin?  Not feeling overly optimistic with the lottery results, hasn't favoured the Canucks before. With the late season push and all of those wins, I'm thinking the Canucks pick at #15.  This is a problem. Maybe JR and Allvin make a splash at the Draft to move up. Remember, they don't have a superstar.

Ran numerous times, highest I got was 6th.  Most times we didn't move up or down.

Let's just do this again... at least we can laugh about it later...

if we loser our last five in regulation can we get to the bottom 11?  Would be good to get a shot at top pick.

with our Canuck Luck we'll win the draft lottery this year and only be able to move up 10 spots to pick at # 5

I'm just hoping someone doesn't jump us

I'd take it... Jiricek may be in that range.

Not happening. We are picking between 13th to 16th. More than likely 15/16. 

[BureBurrito]

Canucks likely pick 13-16th (probably drop down for kicks). Anyone of interest that fills a need in that range? Or trade down further and grab a 2nd ...

Anyone down to trade down if we don’t get a top 10 pick? Get extra picks and stock up our prospect cupboard

Trade #12 OA for a couple seconds and a third kind of thing?  Is there a sort of set value for those top 15 picks?

That's a loser mentality right there. I'd HATE my team to adopt it.

When it comes to prospects I like quality over quantity. If we are talking about moving down a few spots in the first round to pick up a late second or third than fine, especially if the scouting staff feels the quality is even on picks 14-20. I wouldn't want to move a mid first pick for a package of picks outside the first round. Yes it brings prospects into the cupboard but a cupboard full of fringe NHLers is not nearly as useful as a cupboard with a few mid-top 6 forward or 3-5 D prospects.

I’m haven’t looked at this year’s draft class as much but I’ve heard Wright is the cream of the crop. I would be down with that sort of move. Something like a late 1st, a 2nd in return similar to what Calgary did couple years ago. I’m hoping we jump up and grab a top 5 pick if we don’t make the playoffs. Playoffs is still our goal

I just love the 2015 draft.  The 3 picks by Boston and then the 3 right after them.  Let's hope, if we don't make the playoffs, that there's a Barzal, Connor or Chabot available.

This WILL happen. We will win, and Canuck luck the win will finally happen after the rules have adjusted. Book it.

Some may call it luck... others may call it Bettman Boop.
