I hope Benning can hit a homerun on D like he did at centre and wing.

If we have an all star D man, in addition to Quinn hopefully, then I think the team will be pretty dangerous.

They need a winger for Bo and a top pairing D. Likely need two more top 10 picks

Hughes * 2 , boeser, EP and Horvat. Would be insane. Although, EP and Hughes play from the same spot. Two Hughes on the point? Not sure how you would set it up
- CanuckDon

EP i think could operate ppoint very well. I think it would be very mobile given how good the skating of all those guys

I think if we pick 3-10 good chance it will likely be a d. We need wing and D so i could see BPA in both rounds.

Everyone talks about how calm he is with the puck and how he settles the whole game down when he has control on the PP. I think he'd benefit from any position where he gets to touch the puck a lot.

from a few lists that I have seen (obviously its only half way there, and things change all the time), but I have only seen 1 defenseman listed in the top 10 of a few midterm rankings and it was Byram. Broberg I have seen anywhere from 8 - 20. Seen a few Finnish defenseman in the 10-30 range, but the 1st round of the draft doesn't look particularly stacked for defenseman (or what I have seen so far).

So if we have a high pick we go W and if we're past 10 we go D?

I added in that I have seen Broberg anywhere from 8 to 20 range.

And honestly, when it comes to first round picks, I have always been BPA. Can be a bit more positional in all other rounds, but I would be happy if the Canucks went after the highest skilled player in the first.

Button has Broberg at 6...he is however Button

I meant more what we will get versus who we should take. I would agree we should go BPA since we seem to be successful at going BPA in the first round

I did read that. I saw a few other pre-rankings or beginning of the year rankings which had Broberg super high to start the year, but I think he has slipped a bit.

I was approached for mod the same time as Makita. I said no. I come here to vent and relax not babysit a bunch of a$$hats. You included.

no doubt. Reminds me of the other day my GF turns to me and says 'do you ever hear the sh!t that comes out of your mouth sometimes'?

Not a strong high end D class. Find a gem in round 6. No midgets in 6.

The Vancouver Yanks

The Mac brothers are the only ones on the Comets deserving a look this year . They definitely need to give Zac a look so they can see if he fits or they need to go shopping in the summer.

I have been not impressed with the prospects from this draft as of yet , that is why I think it is foolish when I see Edler for a late first.

There are a lot of Gaunces and Shinkaruks it looks like in this draft.

Ottawa caught a break in keeping last years draft pick over this one.

You're not impressed with Madden or Utunens performances at the WJC at all?'

Absolutely, team is far from legit yet.

No I am not over impressed with the draft eligible players this year . I don't think it is a strong crop and it doesn't go deep

Ah I see, my bad. I haven't been paying any attention apart from the top 2 since the team has been doing well. If our season goes down the toilet I'll start doing research
