I second this (+1).
I hope Benning ignores "The Russian factor" in this instance and simply takes Svechnikov if we land the 2nd overall (Dahlin goes first obviously).
Canucks win big if they walk away from this draft with one of the two aforementioned.
I'll be mildly happy with Tkachuk and Zadina. Out of those two, I'd take BT because BT has some two-way grit to his game and can also play Center if need be.
I know some people on here are high on Zadina and Boqvist, but they're kind of 'meh' for me. I think Zadina will be a good 2nd line player at best. Boqvist does have terrific upside but his defensive game is a red flag for me.
..................and here's the part where I get flamed! D ).
If the Canucks don't land in the Top 3 for the draft and miss out on Dahlin/Svech/Tkachuk, I would consider the following:
To Buffalo: 4th overall + ???
To Vancouver: Rasmus Ristolainen
To Toronto: Chris Tanev
To Vancouver: Timothy Liljegren.
that’s a horrible trade for ristolainen. i wouldn’t give up either half
