Say what you want about taking a safe pick, it’s what we have needed badly and you and I have been preaching for this day. I don’t see it as meh I see it as a big W. Build up that right side to finally get our way to competing again. I think this guy is going to be great. Will play with sensation Lane Hutson, with other sensation Eiserman, against the super trio Boston C vs Boston U. It's hard not to see the positives here. Could turn out great. We could always see what Jordan Subban is up to. Seriously, it's a good thing having a top RD pick in the pipeline. We were so devoid. Go Tommy! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I would have made a different pick but I hope I am very wrong. Exciting for a right hand defender with skilss 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how he said he is going to make this a great pick for Vancouver. Love it. Everyone reacting super negatively calm your emotional reaction as he could be the player we have sorely needed for an eternity it feels like. Hughes-Willander Excites the hell out of me Also saves us from overpaying for a RHD To be fair, I am not getting super negative vibes from the nay sayers. Just mildly negative Benson dreamers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 ASP definitely fell farther than most expected. Interesting for Detroit to take with so many young defensemen already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckwings Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Very happy with our pick. I know we pass on Benson but I'm not torn about it. A few quick reaction so far: -simashev going early to AZ sucks but not unexpected. If there's a team that likes to take swings it's AZ. But I can't believe they pass on Michkov. I feel they'll regret this as Michkov will sell tickets, assuming they remain in AZ -i think it's a mistake for Habs to not take Michkov and Philly stole him at 7th in my opinion. -surprised to see Yzerman so high on Danielson. Some might be right about this player, glad he went early so we won't hear complaints about us passing on him if he does turn out to be a stud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hogs & Podz Posted June 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Willander was my #2 pick behind Simashev. Think about it. Playing in North America this year. Smaller rink, figure out angles quicker. More time to get to the gym... Flawless skater, very good vision, elite puck carrier, good first pass, calm with the puck and very good gap control and positioning in neutral and defensive zone coverage.... What is there not to like? So in 2-3 years Hughes-Willander top pair. Sounds awesome to me!!! Welcome to the Nucks Tom Willy!!!
