I have no tolerance for defencemen who can't play defence and I have little sympathy for Bouchard after he disgraced his country in Vancouver with his atrocious play in his own zone. He's soft, slow, stupid, and lazy. Why would I pretend that the way he plays even approaches an acceptable standard for an actual NHL team? Why so angry? Those are some pretty mean things to say, about a guy who's actually in the NHL. Brent Sopel 2.0 maybe. Without the hair.

Alflives Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 2 minutes ago, HKSR said: Just for the record here.. Bob Mckenzie's pre-season (pre-WJC) consensus ranking had OJ at #13OA. Chychrun was #2OA. After the WJC and by the end of the season, OJ was #6OA and Chychrun was #13OA. Matt Tkachuk? He was #4OA and #4OA. He would have been the wise choice considering the consistency in his ranking from beginning to end. Didn’t our scouts want MT but Benning overruled them? Then the next draft Benning wanted Glass and Linden stepped in to give the scouts the choice? Benning got way too involved in our first pick. He would go watch guys for a week and then believe his superior scouting eye overruled what our scouts had been collecting for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrap your head around that one... Vancouver has not really recovered since that tragedy. Hughes makes up for a bunch though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And isn't Brian Burke a lawyer! Not a scout. Button at least, and maybe McKenzie (but not really either) have clout when it comes to picks. Burke didn't want to pick Bure either. And picked Byran Allen 4th overall. To me, you have to start with the ISS as a base line then start going out from there. That's their job a least. OJ was a late first early second rounder prior to the WJs. Guy who can't get close to a PPG on a loaded London team? And also draft plus one was surpassed by RHD Bouchard. Good grief. We can revise this all we want, but it was a bad bad pick at 5. Late first early second? Sure good pick. And even then a failure. Edit. I love Brian Burke. Why do you think that's where he ranked OJ? Didn't see a "Burke list". GMs are heavily involved with their first pick ... that's about it. JB maybe more then some, but this was 100% a miss. And the signs were absolutely there. Gym avoidance for one. "Can't teach hockey smarts" was OJs excuse for not working out. It's on him too. Hindsight is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 The Canucks have made some bad draft choices. We can't go back in time to fix it. What we can do its try and be smarter with our picks moving forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats assuming we don't trade any more picks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apricot Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I don't want to laugh too hard just in case this happens to us with Petey or anyone else (I always have this fear to be fair) but man, its soooo hard not to laugh .

combover Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 A forced rebuild hahahaha or will it be another refool and strive for mediocrity. JG Leaves for nothing MT wants out. Calgary is SCREWED. sutter should quit that might help attract talent. The Flakes should follow Chicago and battle for the basement. Painful years lay ahead for the flakes. can’t say I’m sad.
