Agree I like Sutter but he is not 'C' material. If he gets the C that's a pretty strong indication of where this team is heading. I think Horvat is a lock.
- LordHumungous

Edler will be fun to watch next year, he had a very strong year IMO

Even if it is Dobson Wahlstrom or Bouchard we pick up, it will be better than Hutton Poulliot or Granlund
- VANTEL

Hopefully.

And like a 60% chance of moving down
- Nucker101

5 6 7 are the sweet spots . One of these spots should move up . By the time you hit 1 2 3 the lotto may have been decided already

Hopefully.
- Nucker101

You know they will

No he’s talking about bringing in a bunch of super talented prospects from top tier European leagues, the new Hobie Baker winner, Demko beating out Markstrom as the year progresses. Then sneaking in through the wild card, a few lucky bounces and the Stanley Cup is Vancouver’s....easy peasy.
- Makita

Stanley cup is for regular season pussies.
If it's not presidential it's residential.



Sounds like we'll have all three Calder finalists next season
Just need the injury bug to stay away.

Agree very good year. Will be interesting to see his impact and pt production without the Sedins.

You know they will
- VANTEL

Probably, but it’s not a sure thing:


Recent picks made from 6-8 spots

2016: Tkachuk, Keller, A.Nylander
2015: Zacha, Provorov, Werenski
2014: Virtanen, Fleury, W.Nylander
2013: Monahan, Nurse, Ristolainen
2012: H.Lindholm, Dumba, Pouliot


One of the guys we’re hoping gets bumped out of the lineup was a top 8 pick not too long ago

Provorov

Agreed. Quietly had a very solid season.

I think he will step up . This is more his team now. I see more shooting , no more stupid drop pass

hopefully we get a player like that! Unless we move up.

good for him.

next year is a contract year.

I'd like to see who is available. wouldnt be against him on a 2 or 3 year deal at the right price if he couldn't be replaced.

our D needs a major upgrade. hope OJ works out.

Havent been on here in sometime boys, but damn, gotta give up my man card because I shed a few tears the other night watching the Sedins vs Arizona. Not easy to watch 2 of my alltime fave Canucks retire without a Cup.

September is going to be tough this year.

Could Lukas Jasek actualy ne a player? 6pts in 4 games in Utica...

I have sneaking suspicion that Pouliot is going to be one of JB's biggest steals....

Comets didn't have much push yesterday played 3 games in a row but he did have the most shots.


Lind has not registered a shot in two games

Wtf?
- CanuckDon

That’s a happy positive post! Unexpected I know but I got what I want, a good draft position and hopefully a youthful team.

It was such a balanced, positive post. The future is bright!

The last hurrah, the draft lottery breakdown and a quick look at team stats for the season, in the new blog:

Gonna be a great last pairing, Go MAC!!

training camp isnt `14-28 days like it used to be

but even more important, who is it that henrik endorses as captain role? Probably THE most important decision for the ongoing future of the team. When you think of it there is no other answer than horvat
- SMBDragon

No Captain til 2019-20

13 teams have a chance at 3rd OA
14 at 2nd OA
15 at 1st OA

Teams cannot win backwards
Odds increase as each draw is done for ALL teams ranked lower than winners 1st & 2nd draws
- Nighthawk

THis has literally nothing to do with what I said. There are plenty of teams below the Canucks, and each of them has a chance to draft top 3, which would push the Canucks lower in the draft.

I keep seeing Quinn Hughes and Boqvist being ahead of makar (if they were in last years draft class). I dont know much about either player, but is this a stretch?
