Benning will go with a safe pack and you know it.

Lots of safe picks....vilardi, tippet, Petterson, foote, glass in no particular order who might be available at 5.

I'm really starting to get a crazy feeling Benning might take Makar at 5...that would be (frank)ing bold
- CanuckDon

He said he likes a Center but also a PP QB as well. So if his centers are gone he'll probably do it.

The question is which player does he not see as a center and thus below his BPA to then choose D. My guess is Vilardi is not a fit for JB. But either Glass or Mittlestadt will do it for him. What do you think?

Every time I criticize Belcher he PM's me to remind me you two are estranged brothers

I think everyone is just sad and disoriented from watching quality hockey right now

Vilardi has played wing all year

You criticize me?

I'm all for Mittelstadt then either Makar or Glass.
Happy with either of them in that order.

Which is why he wouldn't be JB's fit for choice of C and go for D if only one left. You see

Lots of good players in this draft...early 2nd round late first is going to have a lot of quality players IMO.

We sit good in the 2nd for someone to fall to us.
Not a D is my guess but a good forward is my bet

Nah. I don't see Vilardi in the mix.
After Patrick & Nico it gets interesting.
Any of Mittelstadt Glass Makar will fall to us.

I'll be stoked if a guy like Brannstrom or Vaakanainen is there but I agree lots of interesting forwards...I had forgotten how fun 2nd round picks are...

With the 2018 draft being deeper up top i can see Tanev dealt & we get another 1st.
Possibly a prospect also if a mid 1st rounder.
Effect is we will hurt on D & pick high again next draft.
Asset management over 2 drafts could restock the cupboard quite nicely.

2nd round will be very fun for us IMO 👍👍

As pessimistic & droll as we can be here lest we forget we had a good run.
Sure we have some painful years ahead but its not all doom n gloom.
I predict the good signs next season albeit we will struggle.
The following year will be the TRUE indicator of where we r heading.
The 2019-20 season we should be primed to make serious noise or its trouble
In River City. Playoffs should be reality or we r in for long n sad times.
