Seravalli believes Canucks have had a deal on the table for Tyler Myers for weeks. He believes the deal is with the Sharks. He's not sure what the hold up is or whether the trade will get done.

They need to move Karlsson first

You are Krufrank aren't you?

loving this draft, so many D prospects. Finally!

https://thehockeywriters....l-draft-prospect-profile/

Of those five picks in the 3rd and 4th rounds I just hope they can get two players. Both dmen in the third round have a lot of promise to play NHL games, the others, not so much.
- LeftCoaster

They could get Ty Mueller for free after today. Once he passed through the draft he would be a college free agent.

Only two more picks in the draft and no centers taken.

Matthew Perkins???

Another undersized overager?

Why are they wasting picks?
- manvanfan

Perkins isn't that undersized - can easily put on 10-15lbs

Don't like the Mueller pick at all - wouldve liked Hoyt Stanley instead

Seems like centers are all gone - this is the 4th round bud

I would’ve preferred this kid.

Perkins is a January birthday of last class, less than a PPG USHL player, that doesn't really show NHL player.

Exactly, most of these kids have very little chance at an NHL career, but you never know. Garland and Bear were 5th round picks.

That's Vantel's man crush, be careful.

I would have also. Score at the same pace as Perkins in the same league at a year and a half younger.

Axel Landen would have been nice as well.

That's Vantel's man crush, be careful.

I got no idea who he is.


"At this point in the draft, size still matters" -someobdy on the NHL draft broadcast.

Van's drafting some sub 6' overage forwards.

That's Vantel's man crush, be careful.

He is my Twitter Nighthawk

Based on this draft, and the last one, it seems like the new Canucks management is extremely high on hockey IQ. Intelligence and ability to process the game is mentioned in just about every prospect profile I look at.

and fixing the D

Flyers take Carter Sotheran

Were at the point of the draft where if you expect people to know names, you've had one too many breakfast hot dogs

I don't know about if they fixed the D? Wouldn't that depend on how many of them actually play in the NHL in the future?

I don't mind the Willander pick. I do find it funny that his name has come up many times on these boards as a player to fill the role and when he was selected the reaction was more of a disappointment because we didn't draft an undersized winger with skill? You really can't win.

Time will tell how this draft worked out, but I am not excited nor am I disappointed. We will see in a few years how we did.

A 6'2" right hand center PPG player in the WHL. Why not him?

Canucks take Vilmer Alriksson at pick 107.

He's... very tall.

Grade F

if 2/3 dmen hit and are decent it will go a long way, pretty happy they emphasized the area they've lacked in most for a decade.

Vancouver selects double-overage, Ty Mueller at 106.

He put up a reasonable level of points this year in the NCAA. But is quite vanilla across the board.

Grade D

/Cam Robinson/

Hunter Brzustewicz goes to VAN at No. 75.

As an underage player, he looked like he could've been a first-round pick. Hasn't shown that level of upside since, but makes a strong first pass on the right side and has projectable skating.

Grade B

Pretty strong opinion there, I think you've said a variation of this every year for the last 5 or so drafts

- neem55

Nice to see multiple Defensemen drafted earlier than the 4th or 5th round that's for sure. I wonder how far away Willander is, they're probably hoping he's ready after next season
