WHL rocks Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, ilduce39 said: Drafting Willander also opens up the idea that finding a shorter term, veteran fit with Hughes is a viable path forward. Willander will be our top pair guy in 5 years. Hughes might leave as UFA or get traded around that time. We're going to need a top pair shur down guy for Hughes asap. Willander will be 2nd pair RHD in 3 or 4 years. Too long for Hughes to wait. Edited June 29, 2023 by WHL rocks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson would have made Lekkerimaki redundant or vice versa. The draft's best playmaker for our sniper. Redundant. Shoot me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s just hope that Willy has a work ethic and a level of dedication that OJ never displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly...people need to get over a prospect who had 2 major injuries and surgeries after being drafted as well as other assorted injuries. I don't expect Management to be clairvoyant. Feel free to beat Benning as much as needed about Virtanen although, I believe he was widely considered the consensus pick on this board as well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilunga Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 6 hours ago, MikeyD said: But alas, we can agree to disagree. Why do you think he wasn't putting up points against men? I'd like to hear your opinion on this. He was playing on a team that was in a relegation battle for most of the season and his minutes were limited. They were giving their vets the bigger minutes.

goog16 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 why did Gabe Perrault fall so far???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Ok maybe I'm reading too much that he's slick choosing to take the NCAA route to get used to the North American ice. But the radio interview on 650, he sounds sharp, and not just canned responses. You could hear the smile through the radio. Is it too much to dare to dream we have a future Captain, or at least Alternate Captain in the future. Just don't get injured, hurt or anything kid. I really like this pick now. (I would have been happy with Wood, but Wallinder is a solid choice) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Willander - Juolevi parallels are insane. Guess what, they both also have blonde hair. Oh no! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Here's how CDC looks at our first round picks in hindsight... Canucks make solid selection. Next day, solid selection gets run over by a herd of Water Buffalo and can never play again.
