Jim Benning: We're going to look at all of our options when we do pick, and we're looking at "Best Player Available" but there's a good chance it is a defensemen. #Canucks - VANTEL
Here's you know in an interview.

Bouchard and Dobson will be available according to these rankings.

Dobson...
Scouting Report
Rangy, mobile defender with size and strong puck skills who sticks to his opponents like velcro. Dobson is a rare specimen for a teenage defender in that he is a big-bodied puck mover with speed who plays with poise in all three zones. He is one of the QMJHL’s top scoring blueliners thanks to his ability to run a power play, dictate the tempo of a game regardless of the situation and seize opportunities that nobody else was able to identify. Dobson is a strong, agile skater with a deceptively quick first step and the ability to make sharp directional changes in open ice. Getting the puck behind pesky opponents in the neutral zone can be done with either his wheels or with hard, crisp passes, but Dobson isn’t the kind of defenseman who lets his forwards take it from there — he loves to jump into openings and create or finish from areas close to the hashmarks.
Dobson is a very strong one-on-one defender who maintains a very tight gap and is quick enough to stick with his man even after he circles the net with speed. Trying to take him wide is a decision most puck-carrying forwards end up regretting, as they either end up pasted onto the corner boards or gazing at the back of Dobson’s jersey as he powers up ice.

Boqvist or Dobson
I think Boqvist has the bigger upside - VANTEL
Agree. I’m not optimistic on D that need to improve their skating like Bouchard. In the NHL these days its too much to ask for that. You either skate well already or pass on them. |

Hes my pick. Hes an all situations huge minute guy. Can look to add a pure offensive guy next draft. The only reason he wont make it next year is the same reason petterson didnt last year, he just needs to fill out. When this guy is 220 he will be a beast.

I would say 1 to 4 will go in order. We could get anyone from 5 to 9 IMO. - Eldebrink

"Dobson can stand to improve his upper body strength and be more effective in physical battles and get even more power on his shot. There is time for the 18-year-old to add muscle to a skinny frame. He may need a year or two of development time, but he has the potential to be a number one defenceman at the NHL level, playing both the power play and the penalty kill, and taking on other team’s top lines. In terms of style, his game is comparable to Alex Pietrangelo of the St. Louis Blues." |

Dobson is a solid pick but if Bovist is still there
The kid has a rocket for a wrist shot and is fast . Dobson is a safe all around bigger guy that can score also. Boqvist wins out on the speed . Dobson is a better Dman |

Stay at home D can surround a Boqvist.
Easier to develop eg Chatfield Sautner. |

Both very good choices. I could see Boqvist and Edler as a very good pairing in two years.Seeing he is Swedish Edler will actually pass to him |

I’ll try to abdorb all posts here into 2 scenarios i would be happy with either.
1) No BIG trades so status quo BPA...
Boqvist or then Wahlstrom
2) Trade Tanev...
Pick Wahlstrom regardless
Next up take Hughes if there or top BPA D
I believe Tanev can fetch a 1st+ from NYI
As in someone will fall i am sure if it.
NYI needs D now & not a prospect IMO
Their D sucks beyond belief & the Hunt for a goalie is obvious. Snow is on the hot seat & with 2-1sts & 2-2nds i see him dealing.
I do resrrve the right to change my mind cuz i waffle with the best of us here 😂😂
Don’t clap just toss money TYVM - Nighthawk
JB should call Dorian for the 4oa and pick his pocket again |

If thats MB’s plan then a trade will happen.
No reason not to if Dobson is his man. |
