How was your sleep last night? What’s it like sleeping on a hay mattress?

Dhaliwal brought up #canucks interest in Lafreniere recently.

He didn’t preform well in the playoffs and Van wants to get younger…..would they trade 11th overall for Alexis?

Something to keep an eye on

Probably put up 60 plus with Miller or Petey as his center.

We know they've been linked to Laf, price is probably way up there.

First may do it at the draft.

They probably want something like a 1st, Hog + for him at this point.

I didn't listen to more than 30 seconds but RD saying Canucks want Lekkerimaki to play in SHL not AHL.

Judging by past history the answer is yes.

Don't know much about him aside from being a high pick.

Sarcasm. He's a winger. The Canucks have 3/4 a roster of wingers.

I'm assuming anyone from Quebec does. Hopefully not though, they need another failure project winger. Worth trading a 1st for, they've already used one on an injured D-man that Detroit couldn't wait to get rid of so why not another winger.

Canucks are more than equipped to make their own draft blunders. No need to take on others team’s mistakes.

Perhaps, but only if it brings back immediate returns for a position of weakness. Lafreniere isn’t that. I like the kid, I really do, but I personally wouldn’t trade the 11th overall for him. Centers and dmen are the Canucks areas of need.

They've stated they want players that fit with the current core, they will trade picks to achieve that, as we've seen. Why wait around for a 17 year old to maybe develop?

Hardly, their games are nothing alike and Lafreniere is fairly productive for a guy who only averages 14 minutes. Rangers depth at the wings doesn’t give him a lot of wiggle room, that said, he needs to force that issue.

Sometimes maturity and a situation that better suits a player can do wonders for their careers. Sam Bennett found that in Florida.

Tim Stutzle probably should’ve went first overall in 2020, followed by Lucas Raymond and Jake Sanderson. Ottawa drafts so well, or they’re extremely lucky.
