Canucks want to make play offs. What kind of trades could they do at this stage to acquire top 10 picks?

Bob McKenzie's Top 20 for the Draft. Not that this applies to VAN as clearly we'll be picking outside the top 20, if we keep the pick at all

He may just do that, but in time. I can't see him showing up mid season and learning a new system enough to take a top 6 role.

Gotta love white people getting enraged over appropriation of other cultures without even bothering to hear what those other cultures think.

If you read this guys whole twitter thread it smacks of virtue signalling. He thinks he knows best because he's a uni prof not because he's actually talked to any indigenous people about it.

He thinks the coast salish are Haida.... just jumping on the Holtby helmet media frenzy, just ridiculous. The whale sucks, but it's not racist.

I knew he was you, the Haida used to come and make war with the Salish peoples, take slaves and all that. As an indigenous studies professor, you should know this and not mistake them as the same peoples. The dudes virtue signaling so hard his racism is showing....

Lambos and Sillinger at 17 and 20 is like having a top 5 pick in last years draft.

Boeser should have been traded for a top ten pick and the money saved used to resign Toffoli....

How does one interview an entire culture? Would that not be the same as “speaking on behalf of others”?

This is an issue when working with First Nations, you have hereditary chiefs and you have elected chiefs. They too don’t always speak for the entire culture.

Best thing to do is avoid these situations altogether. Pick an emblem, crest, or mascot that has absolutely no connection to any culture or class. Stick in rink or downhill skate are perfect. Other than being ugly it won’t offend.

Or tell people like this university professor to STFU and put an end to idiots like him inventing nonsense in pursuit of their own 15 minutes of notoriety.

You think JB hangs on to his high picks this year? The window is open, it's clear we're making a run for the cup.

See how the years plays out. Got to have space and bodies and if they make a trade, you going to wait two weeks before that player can play.

Like LH suggested, we're a top contender now, we won't be drafting high. If anything we deal some more high picks to help us with the cup run.

So, what you're saying is middlesix? My original talking point with Vantel was based on top 6. I thought you were agreeing with that. Sorry.

- VanHockeyGuy





Trading the forwards that would land you a 1st would be counter productive.

Do you believe we'd get a 1st for the forwards the team doesn't need to make the playoffs?

Lambos is my early pick for who I'd like Van to take if possible.

Better to trade down a few spots and pick up another pick. Make JB earn it.

Who say's it has to be (one) player? Or that there's not other picks/prospects involved? Try to think outside the box pal.

Did I ever suggest this was a likely scenario? Perhaps you should get back into the Orca debate!
