Lefty and Richard Bachman then . I know Cgy can use a goalie

Biega for sure but DD isn’t going anywhere
- CanuckDon

Probably not

Says the guy who melted down when we rode him after Kessler was traded and Gilles was canned, that was epic and you lost your 💩.
We did pile on, but I'm pretty sure that you left for a year and joined Philly!

Dude....

That's not why I left. I left because this place became unbearable if anyone criticized Benning back then. I can handle being made fun of lol. Now it's finally socially acceptable around here to criticize management because it turns out that some of those moves people freaked out over did turn out to be horrible.

Rodin cleared! Megna and Chaput and Bachman on waivers

Nikita Tryamkin with his 11 points is the 3rd highest scoring D in the 2014 NHL draft.

Ben Hutton with 24 points is 12 highest scoring D and 24th highest scoring player.

MG last draft, Bo Horvat is the only player that will probably ever make an NHL impact. If they didn't trade Schneider.

I guess all i'm saying here is D take an absurd amount of time. No rush on OJ.

And

MG really did suck so badly. JB has done an amazing job of drafting.

We all have a habit of comparing JB' draft work to MG' who was more of a draft dodger...


...but seriously.... even I and quite a few others on here could consistently pick better than MG and Nonis'. We should be comparing JB to the rest of the NHL instead of (frank)tard MG.

So far, only Boeser impresses me out of JB picks. JV turned into a project which you don't want to see with a #6 pick. Mccann still shows promise... jury is out... that pick, like Boeser is later in the 1st round so any middle six success from Mccann will be a check mark with that selection. OJ only raised more questions about that pick this camp. Not what you want to see with a #5 pick. Peterssen is a bigger gamble than a couple of other C options that were available... there's home run potential there for sure... but there's bigger potential for disappointment with his size especially after the former #5 and #6 turned into projects. Imo, there was less room for taking chances and more need for safe picking this time round.

We are definitely in better hands though.

Yes but he sure lost a lot of board battles turned the puck over quite a bit. I like his PPG from last season he deserves a shot IMO…just not sure...

He's okay as a depth player, but he looks horrible on the PP

Too soon to judge his drafting, but so far he does seemingly do a better job with his mid rounds pick than our previous GM's. My concern is with his high end picks....we'll see how it plays out.

Judd Brackett seems like a great hire, he's the one who's been behind a lot of our NCAA picks over the past few years since he was the head scout for the team in the NCAA/USHL before being promoted. I'm glad Benning/Linden promoted him to run the draft.

Not sure how much he vouched for Schroeder, but Hutton was a steal, Boeser looks like a steal, Gaudette/Lockwood are developing nicely since being drafted.

Anything that the Canucks think will work on the PP they should do the opposite. How hard is it to figure out . Two men in front of the net battle and screen and fire pucks at the net

Gaudette is his best pick

Agreed. Keep it simple.


I still love the idea of splitting up the Sedins on the PP. PP looked the most dangerous last night when Henrik was out with Eriksson/Vanek/Gagner up front.

He goes to the minors unless he proves he is a better option.

He's no longer waiver exempt. I think they keep him up and give him a chance before waiving him. They'll probably be an injury or 2 by then anyway.

Jake is a smart enough kid that if you told him go to the front of the net he would . I agree about taking Danny off the PP

PP1

JV Hank Vanek MD BB

PP2

Granlund Bo Archie Edler Gagner

He goes to the minors unless he proves he is a better option.

He would get picked up by NJ

Every prospect is a project. You're drafting an 18 year old kid. A couple 18 year old kids a year make the nhl. A couple more at 19.

Boeser just shows that the draft is a crap shoot. It doesn't matter whether you pick 6 or 23, don't really know how the player is going to turn out.

Of course, but it's not a total crapshoot. There's a reason why some teams end up with more draft success than others.

Obviously some are going to be better then others. It doesn't stop the better teams from making mistakes too.

That's exactly what the Canucks need to be if they want this rebuild/retool/whatever to be successful.

Burmistrov stinks of Linden Vey. I'd make him start and earn his way up from Utica. Not really impressed with him so far. I'd rather Gagner or Granlund play the 4c spot.
