Ian Esplen: My Perfect Draft Players I'd like to see pulling on an Orca tomorrow

Q: Would you take a pick and a prospect for Cory? Gillis: "It all depends on the team and the pick." > says it all.

LW is really really really weak

so tell me Canuck fans...

1) has it been Gillis "plan" all along to trade Schneider and keep Luongo?

2) has Gillis figured out yet that he has a CAP issue?

he's a multi-millionaire with an executive position in the NHL, you should call him up and tell him your thoughts...I'm sure you're infinitely more intelligent than he is.

Jamal Watson is a great sleeper. Feel free to check out my mock draft for the first round and give me some feed back http://johanneshockey.weebly.com/

My perfect draft

Edler to CAR for #5, take BPA out of who is available.

Luo to whomever will take him for whatever we can get. I would HATE to trade Cory to EDM for #7 and player because we would have to see him so often and Cory would put EDM into playoffs (still need some D).

Have Torts give Vinny a call and see how he feels about the west coast. Would buy out Ballard if we need more cap space, or trade for a 7th round pick if someone would take him.

More Adam Tambellini is needed in your draft Ian.

Edler, Higgins and 24 for Adam Larsson and #10
Schneider to Philly for Coutourier and 2nd

Klefbom, Paajarvi, 7th overall for Cory and Schroeder

Edler, Burrows for 5th Overall, Skinner

BPA! (frank) team needs and drafting Western Canadians!

Never trade Schneider within the division unless it's a serious overpayment, which that isn't at all.

I think both of those trades are (frank)ed. Edm makes off like bandits is first one and canucks in 2nd one

Doesn't Jensen play on the LW?

Right winger but can play either.

So Ballard and Edler gone

Free up more money. Edler is one of few players who could bring us a nice return. Ballard I move if we can get Vinny. Ballard I am fine keeping, playing him with Tanev. Hoping Torts gives him a clean slate to start the year with.

Enough of the draft, let's discuss draught.

You and Vantel are gonna be bottom pairing.

I wonder if this Luongo deal will cost Gillis or Gilman their job. One of them is more of the contract specialist...

- golfingsince

I would consider us top pairing. Vantal is full of savvy veteran leadership. And I'm a better skating version of Neon but with an actual brain

Really don't think people understand why we don't take BC boys in the first round. Think of how much pressure that would put an 18-year old having to play for his hometown team with how rabid THIS fanbase is...
