We need a centre, so most likely Patrick, but I wouldn't mind Nico either.

If we get 1st overall, it will make for some entertaining debates in here, for sure.

Full disclaimer: I honestly do not think we will get the 1OA.

2nd best odds, but still only around 12%

I was in your position last year so I feel your pain. It's just as stressful hoping your team loses as it is hoping your team wins.

what's on June 1st?

Let's see, a fabulous meal, lots of family love, a few good bottles of wine, and maybe a present or two.

Oh and we get to see if Olsen and Neill are inked to contracts by then.

Nah. No stress.
I just enjoy hockey.
It's fun when we're winning, and when we're losing i'm reminded that it's just a game.
Never too high, never too low.

From what I've read theres the top 3 and then theres everyone else. As long as you guys get in the top 3. I really hope LV doesn't win the lottery. I don't think they should be allowed to win it. They should get the 3rd pick overall regardless but Gary (frank)man wont do the right thing.

I thought it was more top 2: Nico and Patrick and lots of debate between 3-7 or so.
I could be wrong, lots of other posters have stronger opinions on the draft than me.

It won't matter the odds, lets be honest we all know the Oilers will win it...

Oilers could win the Cup and they would still win the lottery.

If you were going to pick a team that 'deserves it' or the league would like to see get a 1st OA, i'd pick Detroit.

Original 6 team that the NHL has accommodated in the past (switching divisions).
Haven't had a top pick in a long time, unlike Colorado, Phx, etc.
Non-Canadian and isn't a boring ass team like NJ.

We won't get 1st overall. Period.

Let's be realistic! This team is cursed. Gary Bettman and all officials hate Vancouver. No matter where the Nucks ended up, they're gonna lose the lottery and drop to the last possible pick.

Thank you Carol, it will be a win tonight for Vancouver, which will unfortunately bring more criticism because they didn't bench the Sedins and Bo.

Let's see what June 1st brings...BTW best day of the year that day is..

Just read the 4098th article this year about how the canucks culture wants but wont be able to embrace a rebuild. That the rebuild isnt happening right now. How they should have started after the 101 point season.

Im not sure its so called fans anymore that dont want a rebuild. I think its just the media so they have something to whine about. Wouldnt be BC media without whining about something.

Reading the articles is making me embarassed to be a Canucks fan. I know none of us in here feel the way any of the articles do. I dont know any canucks fans that feel the same way that the Canucks media does.

We won't get 1st overall. Period.

Why do they deserve it more than Vancouver? Or the islanders? Or Dallas? We haven't had a top pick

Stop reading the articles, and stop listening to talk radio.

- CanuckDon

you're thinking too much about it my man.

Vancouver has had a lot of top picks in the past 5 years (just not 1st overall).
Islanders have been a playoff team and will barely miss this year.
Dallas you could make a case for, but Detroit is more 'deserving' <---- notice the quotes, for the reasons i already mentioned.

Nothing that needs to be debated, just an opinion.

I don't even think Linden is gonna go this year. I guess he must be thinking...one time is enough!
