I know most think Craig Button is a meathead, but, he just said on 1040 that Chychrun has fallen out of the top ten in his opinion. Said Juolevi and Sergachev are the #1 & #2 dmen in this draft.

Chychrun reminds him of Curtis Leschyshyn who was a good NHL'er but not a top three pick in this draft.

Also very bullish on Keller, Dubois and Brown along with Tkachuk to round out the top six or seven.

Thanks Carol

I knew Browns was going to be good the moment I seen him play.Bjugstad

I wish we had a mid round pick to grab Jost or Brown...no to Keller. Incredibly deep draft

I'm not sure that's a good thing, you saying someone is good?

Keep doubting Vantel's ability to assess talent and you're going to wake the dragon...

Look at who Craig Button drafted while GM of Calgary and tell me if you still think his opinion is worth much. He makes Gillis look like the best drafting GM we've ever had.

Poor Vantel, whomever posted that he's a great talent evaluator has really put him in a bad spot. It'll be a running joke from now on…sorry Vantel

I agree i like those two but for what ever reason im a no on keller too. I think if we pick top 6 we have to take a forward. If JB is sold a dman he has to trade back 4 or 5 spots. Chances are we pick top 5 so after the top 3 id go dubois then tkachuk and walk away happy.

Bob Mackenzie > Craig Button

If the Canucks get the 5th pick do you trade down to say 7, Arizona, and get their 22nd pick as well? Providing Arizona is interested of course.

All in good fun, at Vantel's expense of course. I'm sitting around the house today as I have an interview for a job in Houston Texas, I hate waiting around the house for "the call".

Toronto, Winnipeg, Carolina, Boston, Arizona and potentially the Flames all have second first round picks.

That 33rd, and 63rd, pick (s) are looking good right now too!

I like that 33rd pick, it could turn into a really good player, depending on how the lottery goes, this might be the most interesting pick (ie top 3 are a given who goes where).
Likewise I like JB's hustle to get that 3rd rounder back, the narrative on General Fanager of all the deals its been in is quite long
