I compare him to Matthew Strome. Foot speed a big question. Slipped all the way to the 4th.

Unless Canucks hire his dad as head coach , no thanks.

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Nov. 6th: "Foote’s biggest asset is his puck protection, which allows him to get to his spot without needing to be particularly fleet of foot ... He’s one of the safer prospects in the draft, even if he’s not going to be a first-line forward."

Are we all making Jizzccuzzi trades now?

You think Chicago is going to give you the 3 pick for Goldobin and Granlund? Or a 2020 1st? For them to drop back it will need to be well worth their time.

Oh you were serious?

I don't think we are trading up.

Price would be way too high. JB does need to make a statement with the draft in town, maybe a trade to get the summer hype train going. The 10th pick won't sell tickets.

Bryam could probably play next season. That move would sell tickets

They will make a splash at the draft floor . Ristolainen and a third for Demko and OJ

OJ is a younger Ristolainen

we'll see about that with his injury issues

I think they go for it especially if they don’t feel Boldy will be available at 10. I don’t think Boldy lasts until 10

Like you, I don’t want to trade up (or down). I’m just saying, if you wanted to select Byram, you probably need to trade with Chicago to be sure, and that will cost you...

Hughes - Byram and Juolevi would be something on the left side.

I don’t either

that assessment makes me think Milan Lucic without the toughness.

OK

I don't see it happening . Lets see if Jim goes balls to the wall

Hyperbole, I could give two poops if the draft was in Vancouver or London England.

Trading Boeser, Horvat, Hughes, Pettersson, Demko is not worth picking earlier in the draft.

Hughes - Byram and Juolevi would be something on the left side.
- CanuckDon

They should have thought about that two (or more) years ago instead of trying to re-tool while remaining competitive.

Have you read the Q and A article with Brackett? It sounds as if they know at 10 they are getting someone they had higher.

That move will produce anger to the franchise and loose viewership.

I know they have multiple scenarios in place for draft selection for multiple rounds.
