I guess the Pettersson one too, although I wonder where the Canucks had Makar on their list. I could be wrong but didn’t they have Petey and Makar as their 1 and 2? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning confirmed that he tried to move up and the rumour was that he was targeting Makar. Pettersson was expected to be there at 5 but not Makar.

iinatcc Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I could be wrong but from one of the interviews from Benning I had the impression that Makar and Heiskanen were ranked higher than Pettersson in the Canuck's draft board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko wasn't in the lottery discussion and it's a little early on Podkolzin, plus there are a handful of players drafted ahead of him that are very good and chances are will end up being better overall.

This is a decent contract but the pick at 6th is a bit of a miss. Not Virtanen miss but still. What? Stevie built the lightning teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the only thing that matters are the players we missed out on (drafted AFTER him) in the first round. Right now there's only a few that could be better than him but of course its way too early to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now there's only a few that could be better than him but of course its way too early to tell. I think you misunderstood my point. In the Pettersson draft, it's arguable that we got the 2nd best player and we may have chosen him anyway even if we had won the lottery. With Hughes, I imagine we would have taken Dahlin but Hughes still may end up being the best player in the entire draft (although it is too early because there are other candidates like Dahlin, Dobson, Tkachuk, Svechnikov). In these two cases, we probably didn't miss out on anything by not winning a top-3 pick unless we actually had Makar @ 1. Whereas with Podkolzin, chances are guys like Hughes, Zegras, Seider and perhaps a few other players will end up being better, and we probably would have chosen one of them had we landed a lottery pick.
