THis is absurd. How do you compare Dobson and miller, McIssac etc. Why are they the same? What particular traits ensure Dobson has a 3 ceiling?
- CanuckDon

Is there a chance Dobsons numbers were high playing in the QMHL?

Miller and McIssac play a better defensive game. We could go on hours and hours debating . I have watched enough Dobson this year myself to have my own opinion that he is not a top two .

Personally I'm okay with moving or keeping Sutter. He's a little overpaid but I like what he brings to the table as a checking center. If we moved him it would just create a bigger hole at a position we aren't strong in.

If anyone is to be traded, I am hoping it's Tanev and Baertschi

Agreed, trade from a position of strength (the wing). We need Sutter for another year or until Gaudette and EP can prove they can play center

What about Bouchards numbers then? Point is if they're ranked that highly it's for a reason. Anyone can say that a Dman drafted in the 2nd round will be just as good but past history favours high draft picks.

Haven't seen enough Bouchard just two games and video but the games I did see he looked similar to Dobson but better defensively

How did Dobson produce against the teams from the O and W? 7 points in 4 games and 17 shots. 3rd overall in scoring as a D. McIssaic is worse defensively and offensively. miller is decent but their is a reason he projected to go in the early 2nd round. He has size, skating and a great 2-way game. I haven’t heard one reason that limits him to being a second pair dman

Edit. I know you watched him play a game in the memorial cup were he had a few defensive miscues but he is regarded as being very solid in his own end

3 points one game against a bad team with one open net goal , a shot and a rebound that the terrible goalie should have hung onto and the forward knocked in.

He had about 4 nice points including the OT winner set up.

Isn’t 4 points in your D season in the memorial cup good (assuming we eliminate the other 3 for some reason)? I mean the number two defensive scorer is two years older

One of the best junior teams in a long long time. No goals? Pretty disappointing. Dobson outproduced Juolevi on a worse team

You can use the Mem Cup as your back up to success but remember Cassels had a fabulous Mem cup too

Zadina at 7 lol

Forsberg at 11 lol

I’m using his performance in the Q for my ranking I’m merely pointing out that the QOC argument takes a hit when you look at his Mem Cup stats. Cassels wasn’t in his draft season and I watched his breakout playoffs and said on here many times that he would never sniff the NHL. I like Dobson because outside of Rasmus I think he has the best shot at being a #1. Something this franchise needs more than a center or a winger

- pker2theend

You think they are similar players? Similar production? Or GMs will make a similar mistake with him? Or you don’t like Zadina? It would be a miracle and a game changer for the Nucks

Benning has come out and openly said we are looking for a center . I imagine it had more to do with the hole left by Hank and not the one left by Dowd. Even in the draft talks they were talking about some forward . I imagine it was about JK o another center.

Hey I think they want Dobson the most but if you are right I won’t complain. Only player I hate in the top 10 is presidents guy. It’s a weird draft with no consensus outside of the top 2

Indeed. On top of his mad skillz, I have been really impressed with the interviews I've heard with Zadina. He's sharp and seems to have his priorities in order.

Stecher performs at a middle pairing level most nights. He is certainly better than Pouliot.
- NorthNuck

PK stats are top 10 in the league. Stetcher isnt a well rounded dman but he does excel at something at least.

Now Makita will respond how people think Stetcher is the best dman in the league after I said that....again.


That's blind hate for you.

I trust whatever decision JB makes, him and the scouting staff seem to really know what they are doing. I just happen to think they'll select a Dman. Unless Wahlstrom is available of course.

Thank you Carol!
Nice piece on Mr. Ashbridge, I'm sorry that you lost a colleague and mentor.

Bit of a twisted comment, but whatever makes you feel good.

I'm not a fan, really wish he was developed properly, Canucks fault not Stechers. No blind hate, just not a fan, but carry on carrying on... ya man.
