LEFTY make yourself useful and let everyone know who Van drafted in Pronmon's 7 round mock draft.

Not cool.

He is going to crash to the back of the 1st round
- CanuckDon

Button has him going in the second round which tells me it would be smart to take him at 15 given how wrong he usually is.

Apparently the Canucks are shopping Pearson pretty heavily, they desperately want to dump his salary before free agency lol

Good luck with that!

Here’s his top seven picks Minihuman.


First Round

1. Montreal Canadiens: Juraj Slafkovsky, LW, TPS (FINLAND)

Trying to pin down what Montreal will do with the No. 1 pick has been a challenge. There are quite a few people in the league who believe this pick will be Shane Wright. However, based on discussions with people in the league over the last few weeks, the winds seem to be blowing in the direction of Slafkovsky — to the point that I think this is the slightly more likely scenario at the No. 1 slot.

2. New Jersey Devils: David Jiricek, RHD, Plzen (CZREP)

If the Habs take Wright, I think for the Devils it’s a simple scenario and they take Slafkovsky. If Slafkovsky goes No. 1, it opens up the possibilities. League sources seem somewhat skeptical they will take Wright, or at least they don’t view this as the likeliest scenario. The most common scenario proposed to me for New Jersey with Slafkovsky going first is the Devils taking one of the top two defensemen in Jiricek or Simon Nemec, or trading the pick. Jiricek is the more common name I’ve heard attached to the Devils between the two defensemen.

3. Arizona Coyotes: Logan Cooley, C, USA U-18 (NTDP)

I’m unsure of what direction Arizona goes in should the draft play out this way. I could see Wright, I could see a defenseman like Nemec, or I could see the Coyotes go in the direction of Cooley. People in the league have given me mixed opinions on whether they think Arizona would go Cooley or Wright in this scenario. There has been the odd mention of Cutter Gauthier to Arizona as well with league sources.

4. Seattle Kraken: Shane Wright, C, Kingston (OHL)

I see you racing to the comments section over Wright getting to No. 4. Should Slafkovsky go first, though, I think it opens up a lot of possibilities in the first few picks. I could see Wright going in any of those first few spots between 1-4, and if he starts to slide, I think it ends at Seattle. If Cooley is available here I would also view that as a strong possibility. If the draft goes more chalk, then the two top defensemen and Gauthier would likely be the considerations here.

5. Philadelphia Flyers: Cutter Gauthier, LW, USA U-18 (NTDP)

I think Philly’s pick will most likely come down to Gauthier or either or the two defensemen in Jiricek and Nemec. I’ve been hearing Gauthier’s name more than the others as we get closer to the draft.

6. Columbus Blue Jackets: Simon Nemec, RHD, Nitra (SLOVAKIA)

There’s been a somewhat consensus group of six forming as we approach the draft between Wright, Slafkovsky, Cooley, Nemec and Gauthier. I presume Columbus will take whichever of the six are left, but I wouldn’t put it past this group to deviate from a consensus!

7. Ottawa Senators: Matthew Savoie, C, Winnipeg (WHL)

Pinning down Ottawa at No. 7 has been difficult. The only intel I’ve had on their pick of late has been some buzz linking them to the Winnipeg ICE kids in Savoie and Conor Geekie. Savoie, Joakim Kemell and Marco Kasper make the most sense in terms of the types of players they value. I did have one source recently tell me to not rule out Jonathan Lekkerimaki here because “someone has to score their goals.”

Ironically he got Virtanen right. A player that shares many similarities. Fast, shoots lower danger chances from the wing. Circles the net doesn’t know what to do w it. Dumb as rocks

Miller and Myers for Jack Hughes? Then sign Subban?

I get it, you want a star player back, which you aren’t going to get…prepare to be disappointed.
- LeftCoaster

Would be nice at least have some Draft picks coming back as well with the potential for 70 point player.

Is it too late to unsign Virtanen?

New blog is up, and we're thinking about a lot of the same stuff.

I dig into a few mock drafts and some of the names that are being connected to the Canucks as we roll into draft week.

Also, I'm not sure if it has something to do with years ending in '2,' but I'm wondering if the 2022 draft class is going to end up as topsy-turvy as 2012 and 2002?
