Hughes and Madden, a couple of cocky Americans
- Nucker101

Boeser, Gaudette, Demko, Rathbone, Lockwood, Hughes and Madden. Who is our American scout?

Same boat

Woo isn’t very exciting, very vanilla. I feel like they moved him up the board due to being a RHD and not BPA but who knows.

Can’t say I hate either pick though

- Nucker101


Hard to hate the picks, they just all seem very safe to me. Obviously Hughes has a lot of hype but he makes me nervous.

Haven’t watched Madden but apparently he is insanely fast. When Benning said speed was key this draft he wasn’t lying. Even woo is a great skater

Let me clarify. Safe picks today.

Hughes isn't safe but was definitely highly ranked for a reason. He obviously has a huge amount of potential.

Maddon does not strike me as a safe pick at all. A runt with insane wheels and high upside. Woo does seem safe. Have to trust our USHL scouts. They have earned it

Canucks should talk to LA and take on Richards salary and recapture for a 2 nd .

2 years 1.5 mil each

Would have thought we move the 3rd to acquire an additional pick. Maybe at 5.

I think these kids are scouted over and over and obviously impress the scouts. We get to see 20 minutes on You Tube and we become experts.

We will follow them a lot more carefully in the next few years. If we get 2 players from this draft that become NHL players we did very good.

Yeah, I doubt anyone here can say that they’ve watched most of these guys play. Woo in the CHL sure and the 1st rounders sure, but who the hell here watched Madden closely?

When I was 40 I weighed 139 and had a 30 inch waist. I did weights 8 times a day. I was in the best shape of my life and very very fast. So seeing a 150 lb kid does not raise red flags for me at all.

If we have less than 7 picks In Vancouver I’ll throw a soy latte at Benning. Right at his oversized chops
