Yes, Canucks GM Jim Benning may have tampered when he said he'd go after Stamkos and Lucic (and Subban), but, I am basically pro-tampering

Here we go.

He'd be a hero if he landed Stamkos, Lucic and Eriksson. Would be like Anthopolous landing Tulo, Price and Donaldson last year.

It would be the funniest poop if they won the cup this year by buying players. Obviously not happening don't get me wrong ( I don't recall anytime thats happened in the NHL).

66/1 - get your bets in now.

Well you are talking about that, not necessarily the case that it's true. To you Draisitl is unproven to many of us (it seems) he is very much proven, and looks very much like a core center for the next 20 years, 2c at a minimum. On top of that another top-5. Put it this way: I'd do Draisitl for Bo straight across all day, everyday. I might even do Bo and a third. And I really, really like Bo.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree - too bad there's no way to set up a poll, as I think you are mistaken that it's only me who has this particular perspective. Perhaps other posters will chime in accordingly.

(oh, and for the record, I wouldn't even do a straight up Bo for Draisaitl - let alone Bo plus any sort of pick, as I feel Bo is and will be a more complete player when all is said and done).

My vote is on Draisaitl

Before the salary cap I'm sure it happened. (frank)ing Bettman.

I agree with this troll.

People are blinded by the 1C/2C comparisons. Bo has intangibles Draisaitl could only dream of.

I just choked on my salad.

In all seriousness you guys make it sound like draisaitl is worlds better than Bo which i tend to disagree with. I dont think the overall gap is that big

I don't think it's a huge margin right now, I do think Draisitl has a higher upside with his offence.

Bo is going to be a beast and more of a complete player than Draisaitl when all is said and done. Don't get me wrong, I think Draisaitl is a good player but he doesn't have the same two way game and leadership skills that Bo does. That said, I guess we'll have to return to this debate in a few years

Draisaitl also put his points up playing with hall, one of the best wingers in the league.

Horvat did it with Baertschi.....

Im with you. Draisaitl might have more points but bo will have the better career

Definitely an appreciable difference. Imagine if Bo had quality line-mates in the same mould as Hall or Eberle?

Exactly, it's not all about points. I've been very impressed by Horvat and his overall game and maturity, especially given his young age. He's shown flashes of brilliance at such an early stage of his career, you know it's just going to take a bit more experience before he's a star in this league and future captain of the Canucks (which I'm very confident of)

Then again maybe he would be -60

Great post.

Maybe his ceiling could be the next Bonino ?
