Michael DeRosa: Canucks Select Tom Willander With 11th Overall Pick

Damn

Great pick, very happy with it for the Canucks organization. I wish they would’ve traded back with Buffalo but all good. One good building block after another over time.

Going to be a very solid Dman. Plays the side we need to fill the most. Left shot can be acquired outside the draft easier. I figured Willander was 2nd best D.

I’d just like to point out Vantel was wrong, yet again, the Canucks didn’t trade the pick for immediate help.

Don's already passed out in his own vomit.

A bit oversized but a Swede so … can’t check all the boxes all the time!

He was the right pick. Not BPA, but the right choice. 👍

@booner. Canucks went BPA. I’m sorry if this is confusing

Wtf are you talking about. Because Bob Mackenzie told you so?

Can't really complain about taking a RHD in the first round, 5 years since Van took a Dman in the first 2 rounds.

It would be much more surprising to see him hit on a prediction at this point.

Benson was at another level based on skill. But glad we didn’t take him there. Nice overreaction. Have another beer.

Safe & for need. Mobility is a big plus. Only idea I had was a trade down if for Wood or Moore. D was the want & D was the get. Satisfied.

Was that Joulevi?

Look you (frank)ing drunk fool... I keep explaining that you are not even talking about what I am saying. You said "only stupid fan boys use the term BPA". I laugh and point out that PA literally said "their strategy is always BPA". So I keep asking does this make him a stupid fan boy? Then you keep going on about him picking BPA(which also makes you a stupid fan boy).

I have yet to argue with you about the pick being BPA or not. I made a comment before your drunken confusion about it but haven't argued with you about it. Classic moron Don.

It's quite funny watching Don stumble through the thread not knowing what people are talking about but insisting they are wrong.

Mike! you're alive, thank god.

No benson was not. A top pairing RHD has a far higher ceiling than a winger smurf.

Funny, nucks could’ve had sandin pellikka along with willander … and a 2nd round pick. Oh well, I’m sure roenick will get us over the hump next year.

Good pick by Winnipeg, feel bad for Barlow, but good pick.

Or passed on ASP and grabbed a forward like Barlow or Moore at 17.
