I hope we don't draft Hartman.

Why not?

Why not?
- Nucker101

Better options will be available. I see him ending up going late first, early second.

Do you think Morrisey will be picked before us? Because he's exactly what we need. Either him or Lazar.
- Boinker

I think he will probably go before 24. He's been climbing the charts since that amazing U18 tournament.

I think someone will grab him around the 20 could fall a few though. He is what van needs really from what I've seen and what others have said. Reminds me a bit of Ryan Callahan and a bigger version of brad Marchand I'm sorry to say. Without the douche bag weasel attribute like brad.

Was talking more about Morrissey, but ya Lazar is a player I could see the Canucks try hard to get, also a BC native. A lot of talent coming out of BC, Reinhart looking really good for next year

Is Gauthier going to be the same as Joe Colborne?

- BetterCallSaul

Might be. Gauthier is known for his defensive game right now, Colborne during his draft was known for his offense and was a project pick from the AJHL banking on his size and vision taking the next step. Gauthier might end up like Brian Boyle or a less physical Martin Hanzal truth be told, both strong defensively that show some higher signs of offense, picked and pegged to go in the same area.

My idea draft for Van this year.

1. Ryan Hartman
3. Philippe Desrosiers
4. Spenser Jensen
5 Jeremy Gregoire
6. Saku Maenalanen
7. Jake Montgomery

And if we could get a second round pick. Shea Theodore or Dillon Heatherington.

What's the knock on Slepyshev? He has to be worth a late rounder to someone who can convince him to play if North America. Some scouts had him as a 2nd round pick last year.

He told teams last year very specifically he would not leave the KHL until he was 22 due to obligations with his family. That's why a guy most thought would be late first or early second went undrafted, and might again.

Hmm, I would think a GM would appreciate having a potential top 9 forward on the back-burner for 3-4 years and divert that attention to more pressing needs. If he stays in Russia for his career then fine, you took the chance.

Thing is if not signed after 2 years he becomes a FA and re-enters the draft and is no longer part of the teams property, which is why he might get drafted next year as a 20 year old banking that he will be true to his word. I talked a lot about him last year because he's one of my favourite prospects out of the MHL/KHL recently.

Not like he's tearing it up... 9points in the K... 1 point in the U20s...

So you can't sign him to an NHL contract to keep his rights but allow him to play in the KHL?

- Feeling Glucky?

He's a two-way player with amazing hands and got injured in the K after 7 games where he had 3 goals to start. Played bad for a bit and got traded then looked solid again. Remember, he was the guy making sure Grigorenko and Kucherov didn't get scored on 24/7 in the U20's and he was the primary penalty killer. He might never be more than a third liner, but those are important too.

Honestly. If were drafting another right winger with our first, he better be an absolute stud. Is Hartman a stud? Meh.

He's a heart and soul character player. 4 RW positions on every team. Is anyone else we get at 24 going to be a stud. Meh.

Thanks Frenchie.

I'll pass on the blistering Russian puckhog that's lost without the puck.

Swedish/Austrian to be exact, but ya, high upside, high risk.

Think Morgan Klimchuk will be available at 24? I don't hear much about this player but everything that I do it is always positive and he sounds like a really solid player.
How would you describe klimchuk and what pick range do you see him going?

Wow, that was me at 20.
I like Lazar and I hope they take him. Canucks need more guys with intangibles. I like Gaunce from last year too. I think the Oilers were hot after Gaunce last year and when he was snatched they took his teammate Zharkov.

would you guys do a edler for staal trade?

The Canucks already have Dan Hamhuis who has perfect vision.
