Drafted Tryamkin, Brisebois & Juolevi
Signed Stecher, DelZotto, McEneny & Chatfield
Traded for Pedan, Gudbranson & Pouliot

He's done things, just not good things. I'm beginning to think this management and scouting group can't identify quality NHL D. Similar to how Burke had no idea what to look for in a goaltender.

Didn't he draft schnieder?

My order for top 4. I don't think we pick lower.

Dahlin
Zadina
Sveshnikov
Boqvist
- boonerbuck

that's the same as mine at present.
With Tkachuk/Dobson at 5 most likely.

Right. Huge difference between those two, I'm sure schneids would have never been drafted with Burke

I was thinking about that as well.
I can't bring myself to realistically think we'll get the 1st OA.

If we get 2nd?

Would they take Zadina's creativity, or be put off by his size.
Svech's size and skill. or be put off by the Russian factor.
Tkachuk has the grit/size that JB likes, but might be a reach at 2nd OA.
We need D badly. Boqvist is supposed to be the 2nd best D in the draft...

i'd go Zadina i think, from what i've read.
The nhl is changing. But i'd probably be happy with any of the top 5 tbh.

Zadina is not small.

6,1 192 at 18yo... I doubt he's getting smaller.

Who knows. Some GM’s refuse to draft goalies above a certain round and some are perfectly fine with it.

Zadina is not small.

6,1 192 at 18yo... I doubt he's getting smaller and his body weight is higher than Sveshnikov who is 2 inches taller.

I think someone needs to point this out at least 3, maybe 4 more times. How big is Zadina, isn't his size an issue?

Who cares who announces the draftee's name, that's like saying Luongo drafted Schroeder.

I just ground up a 1/2 ounce of weed, my house smells wonderful.

Get some Holy Grail(*Kosher Kush* cross) if you enjoy that wonderful smell and taste

Did this make sense in your head before you decided to type?

lol

Imagine being a prospect and hearing Benning talk for the first time

We should only draft people who don't speak english to be safe

Yeah.
My bad.

I realise now it's because he plays in the Q.
I have a large bias towards players from there.
Almost as bad as my bias towards Russians.

If i find out at the combine that this guy is only 6'0.
I'm gonna blow a fuse.

lol

Not gonna fall for the bait

Really? Because this seems like a little bit of a nibble...

Just add a lighter.

Not defending OJ, but this is total bs because he was scratched two games due to fatigue? He returned and was on their top pairing.

According to Nonis, they didn't change their draft order after Burke was let go just weeks/months earlier("stayed the course"...so..

Double post and one has an error. I'm not going to read ahead several pages to make sure I'm not repeating what other people say.

Tank for Hank and Dank!

All in for the tank. Who doesn't want better odds to win the holy grail?

Not sure if this has been asked on this board yet; if we get the 2OA pick, who do you take? Positional need would say to take Boqvist, Bouchard? Or do you take the BPA, Zadina, Svechnikov, or even Tkachuk? Trade down?

Personally I would take Boqvist.
- we_are_all_canucks

Zadina, with him we would have forward depth to trade for defense when needed.

YANK. Hook set! I obsessionally sharpen my hook points every few casts with a diamond file.


No one mentioned you by name btw. It's more the angle of the dangle than the bait.
