Canucks sure got a lot faster today. Even more reason to try to grab Veleno late in the 1st.

Why do you hate this pick?
- CanuckDon

Same reason why Ryan Ellis is a 2nd pairing D.

Same reason why Boston wants a larger top 4 LHD to push Krug.

Same reason why Minnesota gets booted in the 1st round every year.

I'm heading to the pub to meet Mrs. Marwood for dinner. Hopefully there is some drama tomorrow.

I'm still getting over the disappointment of my Zadina dream being crushed, especially when I was so sure the Red Wings wanted Hughes. But I'm happy.

I've seen him play, so I know that he handled himself just fine at Worlds, and wasn't being deployed in only an offensive role. And he can skate!

I guess now we're committed to the idea that the NHL remains a 'speed and skill' game for the next decade?

I couldn't believe we were getting zadina or hughes, I was pumped

Overblown. He’s going to be an absolute steal.

Ya we will need to have some larger guys back there. Id say he is a 2nd pair guy who dominates the PP which will soon be one of the best in the league with him and Petterson

Ok - but Hughes has more talent in his pinky than Krug and he is a better skater than Ellis. He will be a dynamic number two. We still need a stud RHD that isn’t a smurf but we went for the kid with the highest ceiling which I’m ok with. A real “Pettersson” pick

One of those 3 I mentioned prolly will be there... take the one you like the most by trading for the pick. Then go back to the D well at 37... Merkley, Alexeyav, Wilde, Sandin, Miller, there's going to be some of these guys there as well...
