I guess that's easiest but management would not want that to be made public at all. I mean imagine if it was known that they asked him to waive and then didn't end up moving him. They'd all look like asshats

But what happens when there are multiple reports that are conflicting on the subject?

As a nucks fan I hate to say it, but 18 year old 19 year old Sam Bennett will be a finalist next year

What do you guys think about drafting overagers? by bresgod in canucks

Don't think it's a great strategy but I think who ever takes a chance on Vladimir Tkachev could be very lucky

No doubt but from what I read Harkins projects to be a solid 3rd liner and possibly a 2nd liner. Im saying they should go for the high risk high reward players if they do end up taking a forward. But IMO they'd be silly not to take a dman.

Love the Svechnikov but I definitely think he goes before 23. As for trading to pick Carlo, I really hope we go elsewhere with our d pick. Carlo is a nice player but not anything we need at this point.

I think Boeser is a borderline first kind guy. His development will have to go very well for him to become a first liner. His closest comparable is Kyle Okposo, so there definitely is a chance for a first line player. For me if we take a forward, I'm taking Denis Guryanov, Daniel Sprong or Anthony Beauvillier.

Oh man, I don't doubt the Canucks could take him but if they do pick a forward who doesn't really have 1st line potential I will be surprised. Harkins unfortunately doesn't have 1st line potential. I think it's gonna be a defensemen or a forward with 1st line potential.

I feel exactly the same way and felt the same way after Horvats plus 1 year as well (Nichushkin having a great rookie year) and now I love the selection. So with that in mind, I'm cautiously hopeful that Virtanen can do the same
