DownUndaCanuck Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Nice pick probably for the BC connection but also to have someone playing with Willander. I think we know Aiden will probably never play in the NHL but nice to have him in the organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Another good pick. Now we should treat him great so he can beat up his brother and tell him to come here lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the pick though. Didn't even realize Mack had a brother tbh. Good size, going to College. Good opportunity to bulk up. You just made that real dark.

Warhippy Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 We got him. next year we draft a Bedard. So in 3 years when Macklin Celebrini and Connor Bedard come here with Chicago they see their last names on Canucks jerseys in the stands and can pretend they got drafted by us instead of the wart of the original 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they waste a pick so their 1st rounder has a fellow draft pick buddy at college. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Trying to rig the draft luck for next year? I won't say no to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Eh... this seems kind of like a pick that is similar to drafting Ian Clark's son. I doubt we'll be at the very bottom, but even if so, Macklin isn't a Bedard, no disrespect intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I love this pick in this spot. I feel he will be incredibly motivated to become a better hockey player so he can play in the NHL like his bother. His brother will push and support him as well. His skills might not be there yet and he knows it but now he has a change to play for the NHL team he grew up watching and earn his spot the hard way. Its gonna be a good journey for Aiden. Next year will be all about Macklin who will probably go to San Jose or Chicago. Defense usually take longer to develop but if he can figure out a way to make his skills work at the NHL level and show value then he can earn a spot even as 3rd line RD and Im sure his family would all be very proud of him.

Stierlitz Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Interesting comment from Chris Faber today: "Aiden Celebrini certainly looks like a kid of a sports performance coach. Aiden was always the first to go in drills and spent a lot of time talking with coaches and making sure everyone was in the right place for said drills". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to a great program and comes from an awesome sports family. I take a chance on a player like that all day long! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so nice to see this new management building our prospect pool while building out our big club roster at the same time. No more Benning. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll get to develop some off ice chemistry with Willander too whos also going to BU. And of course it doesn’t hurt to have your superstar brother to play with! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Erased Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I don’t think he should be written off yet, just because he won’t be a star like his brother. He’s going to play for a good program and develop skills. He could easily turn into a regular bottom pairing defenceman at the NHL level or maybe a solid defensive defenceman who plays on the 2nd pair and PK. We just don’t know yet.

Can you imagine when he comes to Vancouver he asks to wear that number and he’s told no. Then he asks about 33. Awkward! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
