I don't think the Canucks ever thought about taking Tkachuk. They just didn't seem sold on him. We take the best ranked D man and highest in our history and people freak out, but we knew this would happen lol.. It's a great pick for this organization. We finally have a D man who has the potential to be a #1 puck mover.. Bennings never gonna be a fan fav but he's one of those GM that we could easily look back and realize half our team were his picks. I'm excited to see what this kid does

What you guys think about a trade a few picks from now if Brown/Jost is still available?

We don't really have anything to trade....

I know right.

Don't hate the culture, hate the team. Got a buddy who is die hard mtl fan and thinks Price and Subban are the greatest players to ever put on skates.

my dislike of Columbus is officially on

We'd kill to have either one on our team.

Pedan + next years 2nd + another small piece? I'm thinking pick 18-24

dont' know about best ever, but you got a Norris/Vezina candidate there, so, hard to argue too much.

Price's career could be done for all we know

Avalanche with one of the smartest picks of the Draft

I am not pissed but I would have taken Juolevi and Sergachev at our pick over Tkachuk. We needed Defence. I was hoping for Dubois. I called the top 3 a few blogs ago.

Not surprised with the Jost pick.

Kill who? 'cause that makes a difference.

Aw Jost's dad/grandpa looks so happy!

man oh man, Sakic certainly aged well

Should we nickname him Drop Pass?

Not the sexiest pick, but I like it. He reminds me a bit of Nicklas Listrom. He's not going to own guys physically, but he's a great skater, always in the right position, and very smart. At 6'3" he should be able to handle the NHL physicality when he fills out a bit more. Our D is looking pretty good and young! Tryamkin, Gubber, Tanev, Hutton and now Juolevi.

CHychurin to either NJ or OTt

He's a great guy, we've had a few dinner together from our whl days.

Does NJ need another Dman?

Well there goes wanting Jost

Wow......the female doging and complaining is worse than I expected. If Dubois wasn't there, I was ok with anyone not named Logan Brown.

I think it's a smart pick. You build from the net out.

D looks good in the future...

Tanev
Hutton
Tree
Gudbranson
Joulevi
Brisebois

Wow Ottawa... A 3rd to move up 1 spot?

nice touch DJ - playing a lil Bruce with NJ on the clock.

So who do we take with our 2nd rounder?
