Maybe not you directly , I said a few weeks back don't go after Chychrun with a top 5 draft pick . I said his value is dropping and he is not in the same class as Ekblad Jones

No chance he is worth a top 10 pick. This guy has gormley written all over him. Hasnt done anything id prefer to get a 1st for hamhuis.
- mauryballstein

Agreed.

I agree but using Button to back up your statements might be a mistake.

True.


He is dropping in most mock drafts these days

Out of curiosity do have someone in mind that you want the Canucks to target in the UFAs?

Button's latest draft ranking has Chychrun dropping to #7 (behind another Dman Juolevei)

I can't see the rankings, always comes up blank for me

During a rebuild we don't need top 6, we have the vets I would want to teacher the youngsters in the Sedins. No one interests me, I would be targeting Johansen when his contract is up after next year. I'm with Lefty about draft and develop from within.

I feel the same way. Id prefer to wait and see what we have next season and then go from there. If our defesne wasnt so bad i would be looking at stamkos but at this point i think we are still just to far away.

Yeah we are way to far away to bring in any high end talent, plus we have 14 mil tired up in so called high end talent now.

Jebus, he gives me a personal bubble. Anyone able to copy/paste it here at all?

My best guess (in a dream world where best player plays) for 2017/2018s roster, not including future signings, and given we get rid of all of our pending UFAs

Dank-Hank-Sutter
Baertschi-Horvat-Hansen
Shinkaruk-McCann-Etem
Gaunce- Vey- Virtanen

Depth forwards: Cassels, Grenier, Cracknell, Dorsett

Tanev- Edler
Hutton-Sbisa
Beige- Bartkowski

Depth D men: Pedan, subban? (where's he at in his development? it would be nice to see him get a game or 3)

Markstrom
Miller

While I love the potential in that forward group for the next 5 years (not to mention other random pieces that could work out ie. Cassels, Grenier, Kenins etc).

But the defense is concerning, I hope we sign hamhuis for like 2 years @ 2m aav (for the hopes he can get it back and become a good 3rd pairing till retirement). Our first round pick really needs to go to a defensemen this year (maybe one of the fins from WJC if we are in that 15-20 spot?)

What are the canucks options for defensemen in the summer? (both drafting and trade/FA signing) thoughts? It really needs to be addressed. we have too many forwards as it is, id rather the extra salary, and trade values to a substantial top 4 d man (even just a guy that goes well with hutton0

That should bring some discussion I haven't seen for awhile...

I doubt Stamkos leaves Tampa to join our 're-load'. We're several season away and his contract wouldn't help get that sped up. I'll look to see him light up the East somewhere.

Wholly poop it comes up blank for me as well, I'm one of the chosen

I feel mostly the same Hansen Bo Sven Danny Hank and Sutter for the next two years. I would look at TDL next year about moving the twins but wait and see.

I hope Jake Etem and Vey or JM can find chemistry

The D can be improved but not Byf at 6 + years.

His contract will be a boat anchor in a couple years and you know someone will cough up max term at like 6 per to get him
