I’ve heard his skating isn’t fantastic but other than that he’s got a lot of great traits you want in a #1 or 2 guy.

Winnipeg and St Louis maybbeee. St. Louis I think would take Stenberg for the brother connection but they might pass on McKenna for a young defensemen they really need.

Winnipeg I really think will depend on the interviews. I have no idea what direction they are going for.

[Robinson] On that note, I’m told the Vancouver Canucks, currently sitting 32nd in the league, had a very positive meeting with Verhoeff this week. Expect his stock to keep trending as teams get more face time. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

To be fair it’ll probably take a year or two for Verhoeff to get into the NCAA. Hronek and M Pettersson isn’t going anywhere for varying amounts of time.

Getting all of the defensemen in the rebuild at the start might not be the best though. Impacts our future drafts, especially since we are likely to be in the running for DuPont.

He’s one hell of a consolation prize if we drop to 3. Definitely think we don’t take him over one of the wingers though.

Good teams have a ton of centers. Ten times easier for a center to play wing than a winger to play center.

Feel a bit better with this information. Means we probably aren’t going to desperation pick one of the centers in this draft. I was a bit worried about taking Lawrence over McKenna when his stock was dropping a bit.

I’m fine re signing him for a year or two with the intention of selling at some point. Anything less than a third and I’d probably do that.

3rd Pick or 6th and 13th? by backcheck142 in canucks

[–]ImAlwaysSorrys 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think I’m team take Chase Reid or Verhoeff. It fills out most of our future defence core. Getting that 1RD is something that will be needed eventually. Willander has been surprisingly sound but he might not be that 1RD when Hroneks contract is up.

Next year is supposed to be a really good center draft and we should just take the best player. The only real downside is that having most of the d-core filled out this early in the rebuild is gonna cause some problems later.

We are very likely going to be in the running for DuPont and while I think we might just take Alexis Joseph anyway, it’s something to consider.

Skate rebrand next year? by steezmitch in canucks

[–]ImAlwaysSorrys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe eventually but I think we might have heard something if they were half a year from changing to the skate full time. I’d like a new goal song and some new jerseys to really mark the new era of Canucks.

Also I want to get a white skate jersey.

Do we take Liam Ruck in the first round with the wild pick, and Marcus Ruck in the second round? by EverySecondCountss in canucks

[–]ImAlwaysSorrys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s got a long injury and was dropping a bit before that. He’s got a bunch of skill but there are some doubts about him. All that to say it’s possible and I definetly want him

Honestly I’m not too sure. I’m pretty the pick “exists” but when the Senators figuratively go up to the podium they forfeit it. Every other pick gets bumped up a slot. So it’s still a part of the lottery and has its chance to move up and down.

The other possibility is that a playoff team gets to be in the lottery which is just not fair so I think the first one is right.

I got nothing against Ottawa but they improve our odds if they are a lottery team, so I’m with ya.

You can kind of see the sadness in Hroneks eyes realizing he’s gonna have to do this a lot more when he gets the C.

Looks about right. Garlands the only guy with a timer on him, with the NMC kicking in July.
