Mhmmm

Wow, Leafs sliding down in the draft to get rid of Mrazek.  

[King Loui]

Kassian to Zona.  

[ABNuck]

Minny takes the first chance player

[VanCan2023]

Van better get it done in the next 3-4 yrs. 

Anaheim will be ruling the west after that. 

Ana vs Ott 2027 finals. 

[gottalovethosenucks]

Oh boy what’s dubas up toooo

 

since we didn’t have a second this year I was really hoping for a defender with this pick …. Like maybe the guy dallas picked at 18 …. 
 

edit: if chesley slides to the second we should acquire a pick to get him !

This has been the most "Vancouver" draft ever. All sorts of trade rumors flying around, nothing happens, and we draft an undersized but offensively gifted Swede.

It seems like ground hog day every year around this time.

It’s mostly because we don’t have a lot of assets to trade. Benning was just awful at asset management. He’s really put this team behind for years to come. He was here way to many years with little success. This is what you get.

special player folks  .. Vancouver giants took him in Euro draft ,,,  not ready yet but he's gonna be great !!!   excellent pick !!!!!

Just saw that with the Giants. 70th overall, so the Giants aren't too high on him. Strange dynamic. 

[Smashian Kassian]

I'm surprised both Miroshnichenko & Yurov went in the 1st.

 

But even if half the teams were scared off, it only takes 1 of the other 50% to make the pick.

That’s probably because the chance of him coming over is low…

Right. Looks like we’re rolling the dice with a full season of Bruce. But come trade deadline and next off season things could be torn down to the foundation ….

[gottalovethosenucks]

Hahaha kassian to zona someone called it

[250Integra]

Why are Edmonton trading so much to get rid of Kassian lol

[gottalovethosenucks]

Arizona cleaning up ….. they traded oel for our first and cap relief for us to use that cap room they gained this year to take on more salary and assets… brilliant….

From what I saw he skates and shoots similar to Laine. Likley without his success but he seems to have alot of confidence in his shot. 

I can see him keeping it simple and getting it on net, not looking to pass it on to someone else. 

The more I read about this player, Laine might be a better comparison and hopefully, they don't have the same off ice habit.
