[Video] All Access - Draft and Development Camp

[Herberts Vasiljevs]

I noticed there's already a thread on this. Sorry for the double post!

This was fantastic, thanks

 

"Don't want a 3rd Line guy, can get those guys in free agency. We want a difference maker."   and I think they got one.

 

Talking about Lekkerimaki before their pick at the Draft, they had him ranked at #7, Allvin was so excited. I almost got choked up when he announced his name in the video (even though I watched the Draft already). It just seemed like a really big moment, not just for Lekkerimaki, but for the entire management team and the Canucks. 

 

Looks like Allvin had his A/GMs make the picks from 3-7. Neat.

 

Todd Harvey selected Elias Pettersson #2, who looks like a beast, he's going to be real good one day, I think. Cammi Granato selected Daimon Gardner.

 

Cool that Ryan Johnson wants the prospects to understand the Canucks history before joining the team. Instilling some Canucks pride early.

 

Gotta say, Komisarek looks good in Canucks colours

 

Also like that they took the prospects out into the community to work/play with the kids, get them involved in that kind of stuff, charity work, etc. Do other teams do that?

 

I really love this team, and I think they're in very good hands with JR and Allvin (and their management team).

That was a ton of fun-more 20 min videos please!

Joni Jurmo is a Chad! 

 

I would be thrilled if that kid turned into something. Physically he looks like a pro hockey player...

I noticed in the video when the team is doing the Grouse Grind and there is a shot of Daniel and Henrik they are completely synchronised as they climb. Still one and the same as they were n the ice.

Just something i picked up as i watched.

I do like how Allvin leads his management and scouting team. A real people person who's relatable.

Would have loved to see the twins smoke all the kids on the Grouse Grind despite being 42. I wonder what their times were like compared to the kids.

Can you imagine what a beast EP1 would be if he had the body of EP2? I'm hoping EP2 has a fast trip to the show, would be fun to hear Shorty call games with two guys on the same team with the same name, lol.

One burning question: Is that his sister? Asking for Boner.

I think sister.  Here he said the first message he got after getting drafted was from his girlfriend.

Seeing this video rises a lot of questions:

 

1) Why would a team give away their meeting dynamics via a public video? Now competing teams can see the way meetings are held, the type of questions raised etc. Other teams make decisions only between top 3 staff members I.e. Toronto only Shanny and Dubas make the calls in this video it shows whole organization sitting around the table.

 

Now other teams can consider this as well, its kind of dumb to give away organizational secrets.

 

2) Canucks management talking about skill > character. This again teams can use that if they have players of high skill to trade they know Canucks prefer skill over character etc huge advantage to trade partners seeing this.

 

3) If the draft tables are that close together it baffles my mind that no one thought of firmly planting them selves or their scouts right next to competitor tables and just eves drop on their discussions. They cant force you to move but you can hear clear as day what they are going to do.

 

Huge mistake to have the teams sitting right next to each other and basically can't prevent others from walking straight to their table and listening.

It might be a trick.

They want character and not skill. JR decides etc…

Way too naive to think that they're recklessly giving away their secrets... Come on now.

[Strictly Bizness]

I can watch these types of videos all day.  So intriguing what goes in peoples thought processes.  It's the reason I believe people like myself like playing fantasy football or go in hockey pools.  We feel like we are General Managers and scouts.

Nobody cares that much to swindle a single GM. A GM is gonna do what they're gonna do regardless. If you're making your moves based on the actions of another GM, you're not a good GM.
