You can throw Cozens in there too. All good choices no game changers - VANTEL
I have to say, I think the people that say this draft isn't very good are wrong. The top 10 in this draft is strong.
To me it looks a lot like the 2017 draft.
I don't expect much past mid 2nd for good players in any draft which I think this draft has. It may not be spectacular but it's not bad, |

I enjoy the people that now want to stick to the same plan that they complained about for the first 4 years of JB tenure.
I always wondered if in 2010-11 season if Van would have went after someone better than Chris Higgins, would that have changed anything. - manvanfan
Do you think that year one of Bennings tenure was the same as year four? He sucked in his first two years.
He is learning in the fly. Luckily he found some good support with Brackett and Johnson . Linden was a disaster and he was running the show more than anyone. Benning always needed his permission. Remember Benning wanted PK Subban and the first over all in the Ekblad draft but was halted.
Handcuffed by NTC and NMC and team loyalty Canucks were in huge hole. |

I have to say the opposite. 3 GMs are willing to part with their first round pick and there is still a month to go till draft.

Benning has improved and Linden wanted the slow rebuild which what everyone is preaching now.
Benning's message was always draft and develop. He's done that. He took care of drafting by bringing in Brackett and re-ordering the scouting. Allowing the players to develop by signing free agents. |

5 did last season. All at the end of the first round. You do it to try and win a cup. It's happens every season no matter what the draft looks like.
9 first round picks traded in 18
9 first round picks traded in 17
11 first round picks traded in 16
9 first round picks traded in 15
5 first round picks traded in 14 |

Who is preaching slow rebuild? I think everyone here wants some trades and wants some signings , they just don't want stupid trades and signings |

Most of the moves were made at TDL and we have not got there yet. You have 2 GMs already in the top 10 willing to trade their pick , were not talkink the 22nd or 17 th

They are doing a great job on the Development side now also. Something Canucks rarely did.

Those two GM's have been proven to be bad GM's.
Chicago were supposedly buyers a couple weeks ago. They are now bottom of the standings. |

Ottawa offered him 8x8
Friend was saying Stone is asking for 9.25 for 8 years. |

If I was Ott I would get Dzingel resigned for 5 years at about 4.5 per. Resign Nilsson for 2.5 x 2
Trade Duchene for a first( seeing they don't have one ) and a prospect and trade Stone for young prospects. |

Don't worry Pressy. Once EP gets 10 million per season they won't be able to pay Sutter and Beagle. - manvanfan
If he continues like he is doing, he's likely to get 13 plus in two.5 years...

I agree, only a few vocally say this is a weak draft. Many game changers in the top 10, pair of stud superstars in the top two. |

Careful, when you piss into the wind, it doesn't land where you want it to.
You're right though.

I haven't heard not one person say it is weak. I know I think it is nothing to tank for but I have not said weak. I think Canucks will pick up a decent player not a game changer.
They will draft a player that should be ready in 3-4years |

True. Considering Matthews with the same cap % as McDavid is supposed to get 13.9 |

If we didn't have beagle we'd get a game changer...
Yes I did just credit him for making us draft higher then top 3. |
