You could build a Stanley cup team out of the next player taken after the Canucks picked over the last 8 years.

Pretty much yeah.

As per Cap Geek

Sedin 7.1 NMC
Sedin 7.1 NMC
Dahlen 7.1 NMC
Pettersson 7.1 NMC
Horvat 4.2

I hope they fired the scouts who wanted Glass just so those guys can go to better organizations.

Why don't you like Peterson?

I respect his upside, but Glass was there for the taking as BPA.

Buffalo to take Villardi? or go with a Dman?

i like how you ignore the Fancy stats post that shows Petterrson is a better prospect at this age then W.Nylander or Pasternak in the same league.
Good pick Benning

Pettersson is a highly skilled center, I don't know how you couldn't like this pick. He's no Virtanen, that's for sure. Good hockey iq with skill to match.

follow up question, who does Detroit take @ 9 that makes Vancouver look foolish in a couple years?

There are some good C's still left. Time to make up some quick Tanev rumours...

Vilardi
Mittelstadt
Necas
Kostin

He has mad skills but ahead of Vilardi or Glass? Big Centers we actually need?
- LordHumungous

He's going with upside talent for 1C over solid 2C I guess. I just thought he could trade down to get him. Maybe that's what JB wanted but Rangers and Vegas didn't bite.

He was never going to take Kostin.
- thundachunk

He also isn't a Canadian, which is what you b!tch was about.

Again, I respect his upside, but Glass was my personal fav so I'm disappointed. That's just me. If people love the pick, I'm happy for those fans.

Just remember all you Buzzards Vantel and Lefty the Swede haters are OK with this pick .

So scrawny though...

Mittelstadt at 8 is a great pick
Does JB have a deal left to play?

Vilardi dropping , make a trade jimbo

So scrawny though...

...speaking of scrawny...the SAbres select...

- Nucker101

Not that I disagree...love Glass....but, Mackenzie's list has Petterson higher than Glass. So, lots of teams have him as the better prospect. Just saying

So scrawny though...

He's a kid, he'll fill out. Just don't put him in the NHL for a couple years.

Wonder if they are bringing him now to play on Comets to get used to NA game. Kid already played with men. Dahlen his sidekick will get tutored by Sedins with some call ups perhaps...?
