2014,15 & 16

Canucks
Jake
McCann
Demko
Tryamkin
Boeser
Gaudette


Bruins
Pastrnak
Donato
Heinen
Carlo
Debrusk
McAvoy

I'd rather have the Bruins picks then ours.
- A_SteamingLombardi

Easily. Pasta is better than Brock. McAvoy poops on Juolevi.

That leaves Donato/Heinen/Carlo/DeBrusk vs Demko/McCann/Gaudette/Virtanen/Tree

I don't know why people thinking that Brackett and Benning are the only people that are deciding who's to be taken.
16 Amateur scouts. 1 head scout, 1 asst gm, 1 Gm, 1 president, 1 AHL Gm all seem to be in the process here

If you are wondering Brackett was promoted so he was in the room previous drafts.
- manvanfan

There's a difference between being in the room and being in charge of the draft.

New Jersey. Hughes.
New York Rangers. Kakko.
Chicago Blackhawks. Turcotte.
Colorado Avalanche. Cozens.
Los Angeles Kings. Byram.
Detroit Red Wings. Dach.
Buffalo Sabres. Zegras.
Edmonton Oilers. Krebs or Boldy or Podkolzin. Or Cole Caulfield or Alex Newhook.
Anaheim.
Vancouver. Boldy, Podkolzin, Newhook i'd be fine with at 10 if it went this way. If it did come down to Newhook, could probably trade down 3-5 and get him or Soderstrom.

i could see the Hawks , Avs Or Wings grabbing Caufield

He did play much better, but I cannot believe he is team Canada caliber defence man, that’s the desperation part.
- Makita

Sure, but it's nice to see as a Canuck fan. He deserved some recognition for his improved play.

Brackett has been with the club for years, this Brackett is in charge, Brackett is a drafting wizard, narrative is getting overblown.

Yes I know he was made head of scouting a couple of years ago, but is everyone saying the guy just sat on his hands for a decade until he was put in charge.

Complete and utter BS.

They are a team, they do collaborate, but hey Benning is an idiot and Brackett a god, good grief
- Makita

When was he promoted to head scout?

The overrated Caulfield with his 13 th

14 th . The bust just tied the record
- VANTEL

OV who?

Gillis to me doesn't scream a guy who knows who the best scouts are. I was reading he has 3 of 39 picks playing in the NHL
- VANTEL

Gillis was the one who hired Brackett in the first place.

- A_SteamingLombardi

Gillis deserves credit for hiring Brackett and Benning deserves credit for promoting him.

I wish there was more info out there on who hired the other NCAA scouts

- A_SteamingLombardi

So you get together and talk about prospects and create an order so two guys can say "(frank) you, ill pick who I feel like"

When was he promoted to head scout?
- VANTEL

He was promoted to director of amateur scouting in 2015.

Benning reordered the scouts. Let go and hired new ones and after year one gave them a here's what I want you to look for.

No, one guy...Aquilini.

It’s always difficult for fans to truly evaluate scouting. We poop on Delorme and later found out that he was all over picking EP

- VANTEL

I think around 2015, not entirely sure, and I should clarify that his title is director of amateur scouting.

I am cheering for Hughes and Pettersson
- VANTEL

Since Stecher is Edler's under-study here maybe he can take out Hughes and Petey long term.

Edler may be a free agent in two months .

good one

I don't like Botch but he said something the other day that made one think. He said Vancouver fans don't want to pay Subban 9.5 for the next 3 years but don't have a problem paying Edler and Tanev 9.5

Wouldn't that be nice.

- VANTEL

Subban had an off year points-wise but man that right hand shot is exactly what we need. Would be like the return of Sami Salo to the PP.

Yeah that doesn't make sense, PK will play more games than those 2 combined.

I wonder which scout came up with Tryamkin?

- LordHumungous

Benning and Edler are saying the right things but it really doesn't sound like they are close to a deal.

I like that Benning is looking at the options.
