Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks: Scouting Scouts, Last Regular-Season Weekend for Utica Notes on the Under-18 Championship, draft rankings, the Utica Comets and the future of Travis Green.

I wouldnt mind Green bumped up to the NHL level as a assistant coach, or in charge of the power play

I actually read the write up for McKeens picks. Sounds as if they are putting a lot of stock into after the world juniors and the playoffs.

I was thinking Vantel could do it, he's a Master Talent scout, good contract negotiator, we just have to see how he handles a sword.

That's all fine but...is he an effective feelings manager?

Makes sense! He should focus in on Vrbata How did we end up at the 7's?

Mckeens

They have Michael McLeod going 3rd overall & Chychrun going 11th overall.
If a GM picked Michael McLeod 3rd overall he would probably be fired, when he could just trade down to get him.

We lost all 3 games in the first day. The temperature and humidity were brutal, they looked physically drained just running on the field.

I have no problem with McKeens. Some people go off the board a little on their rankings. Seldom does careers fall in order with the top 5 projections in their draft eligible year.

I would like to see Green up here as an assistant to WD or have him replace Lidster for that matter. Maybe Green wants a HC position but realistically he should be groomed as an assistant.

I think Demkos dad was counting down to his trip to MA

The rankings aren't where I would rank them. Even though pretty much all teams pick BPA in the first round. Usually it's BPA available that they need.

That 2012 Draft ........ What an absolute Cluster F---

3 of the top 4 picks probably wouldn't be chosen in the first round if redone today.

So who do we take with the 33rd?

There wasn't much talent that year, I would say Forsberg has been the best player from that draft so far and he was traded.

Sportsnet Murphy said Benning has been flying to some Kelowna Rocket games.

That would indicate he likes Ryan Johansen's brother.

Not trying to be a Vantel here, but I knew teams passing up on him were making a huge mistake.

Ben Hutton would probably be a 1st round pick if redone today. Very Late 1st.

Lucas could be a real diamond in the rough, but 33 is still pretty high, this is where I wish we had another 2nd in the 38-42 range, hmmm like Columbus'.

I thought you were Vantel.

Logan Stanley if he falls that far.

Edit; As per Booner 33rd overall.
