But Barzal is already hurt, what's done is done. So, while I wish him a speedy and full recovery....YIPPYYYYY. This is kinda best case scenario for the Canucks right now. We want the pick to fall as far as possible this year. It could be a top 10 pick for us, and if he does slip and the islanders keep it, that's even better! An unprotected pick in 2024 from a team like the islanders could be exactly what the doctor ordered to start turning this franchise around.

I could see Lou letting the pick go to is if it's between 10 and 12. He has that option? I'm sure he doesn't want this pick drama going into next season?

Coconuts Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Doubt it'll end up being top 5, Isles will likely sell and make other additions in the offseason They've got Mayfield, Varlamov, and Parise who'd get interest Or just give up this season's pick which is fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm betting, looking at the standings, I bet we end up with number 12 pick this year. Would be nice but it’s top 12 protected, highest pick we would get this year is 13th. Not that that’s any much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he doesn't want this pick drama going into next season? From as far as I can tell, he has autonomy of the pick if it's between 1-12 this year. He very well may chose to let us have the 10th this year if it means no potential lotto next year. As much as I want an unprotected next year, I'd be AOK with a pick 10-13 this year. Couple real good players I've started to narrow in on in that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakrami Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 If the pick lands top 12, i'm pretty sure Islanders will keep the pick. Meaning we'd really hope Islanders really stink it up in 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Islanders are primed to fall, but kinda like the Canucks with a healthy Demko, Sorokin will stop them from falling too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard for them to sell if they are in the 8th seed and just traded futures to get Horvat. Good thing tdl is coming up soon. . Tough choices to make for Lou.

Their roster is aging and the win now is real. A top #12 pick this year might yield a young roster player for next year. I don't know if the roster can maintain a playoff position next year or not. A full year of Bo but a roster another year older. GM Lou can be a bit of a loose cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just traded away 3 pieces (2 major pieces) for Horvat and re-signed him to 8.5m AAV. Your GM comes out and says it's too much and too long (which means he signed Bo to save face), and now Barzal is out indefinitely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lou Lam was smart, he would realize that the year is done and try to trade Bo to another team. The Islanders are and old team and lost a lot of futures for this run. If things crash as suspected, I think Lou Lam will get fired this off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
