BureBurrito Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Are there any nhl ready players in the first 2 rounds that will be playing in the upcoming season? Wright...? Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Wright N Slafkovski after that its guys who probably should cook for 2 years but likely get rushed Cooley is a guy who could probably stick in the NHL in a year or so but thats probably not the best thing for him Gauthier same boat sure Virtanen could physically play in the NHL but it wasn't the best path.

King Heffy Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Nemec has enough hockey sense that he could probably play next year, but shouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BureBurrito Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) This sounds like a somewhat weak draft this year Edited May 17, 2022 by BureBurrito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Very few guys, even first overall, should play in their first year from draft. Unless it's Crosby, let them spend a year and dominate! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Slafkovsky? 18 year old at 6'4", 220 lb. also the Olympic MVP and he's been playing against men in Finland. While he might have a season or two of Kakko like production, he could probably hold his own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s playing in the highest level league in Slovakia, against men and averaging 20 minutes a game. If there was anyone in the draft that is NHL ready, it’s him and Slafkovsky.

Nucker 67 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 No one the Canucks will be drafting, and even if they get Nemec or Cooley etc., somehow - JR/PA will want them to develop properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
