Crabcakes Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 2 hours ago, NUCKER67 said: The Future? Pettersson Danielson Raty There's no telling about Raty but if this is the plan, whether Danielson is the pick or somebody else, it would be a good one. In the short term, Miller would be the 2C and they still need a 3C until this years pick is ready to play in the NHL. Longer term, Miller moves back to wing. I just hope there is a plan, not riding by the seat of someone's pants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does Hanefin want when he renews in a year? $4.95M next year and then what? The moon! I'd rather pick up a couple of supporting defenders who could fit into the top 4 at $3M or so 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Flipper Posted June 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2023 The only prediction that will come true about the draft is that no matter what happens, 1/2 of CDC will love it, 1/2 of CDC will hate it and a couple years from now all of CDC will say I told you so…. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timråfan Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 That article lost me when they talked about pressure on PA. PA has no pressure to use the pick wisely. He can go numerous ways and everyone is positive til we know how the player develop. There is only a few picks that are a guarantee wich means no pressure at all… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve had success getting players from Russia to come over. I am not sure about this. They have already drafted Miroshnichenko last year.

Warhippy Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Over the last decade we're the 4th worst team in the entire league. We've been one of the highest spending teams as well. Let this statement sink in. Like really let it permeate your entire cerebral cortex. How damning is this to know? Like...how can we constantly retool via free agency and by poorly timed or poorly thought out trades? Damn.... When the Vancouver Canucks selected Jonathan Lekkerimäki 15th in last year’s draft, he became not only the National Hockey League team’s first pick in the first-round since 2019, but also the only player it has chosen in the top 40 since then. The Canucks had no first-round picks in 2020 and 2021, no second-rounders in 2020 and 2022, and no third-round pick in 2021. No wonder their draft-prospects pipeline is sparse, particularly devoid of high-end candidates to play in the NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade the future for being competitive now has been Aquaman's mantra since forever sadly. Pick 11, Lekkerimaki, Hoglander and Garland with a 4th for Karlsson with 25% retained. Because "retool" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that I mis-understood. I think that they'll be ok with Hughes, Hronek, a couple of mid level salaries and a couple for 2M or less. That's how I think they should structure the D salary-wise. Of course Myers is likely gone at the TDL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 We have to keep the next 5 years worth of 1sts and ideally 2nds to start to grow a prospect pool because it's so thin right now. 3rds onwards I couldn't care less about but we have to get out of this bad habit of flipping 2nds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 The Canucks since 2005 are dead last in having prospects from round 2 onwards play 100 games in the NHL. Dead. Last. 4%. Some of that is on the team too, because they outright refuse to develop and give players a chance to learn at the NHL level. And when they do this, they trade them away immediately.
