33rd Overall - Canucks select Kole Lind

Discuss.

 

[Saturated Fats]

Love it. Looooooove it.

 

[Red]

Lind????!!!!! whHWHWHAHTTT

Why are you overreacting?

He's a good player and not a reach. Ranked 23 for skaters in NA.

 

[canucks10]

Pretty happy with this pick

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Great pick.

87 points in 70 games, 133PIMS and 30 goals. Slight like Pettersson but clearly has an edge to his game, played in Kelowna.

 

[AriGoldd]

Awesome, like this one.

[Pip]

Looks like a good pick. Very nice stats

 

[M2Beezy]

Why are you overreacting?

He's a good player and not a reach. Ranked 23 for skaters in NA.

54th on Buttons final rankings. Dang missed on Lipanov and Hepponpomi

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Highlights from last season.

 

[Horrorshow]

Great pick. Really liking our draft so far. Thanks, so-to-be-fired scouts!

 

[Red]

Using pGPS to look at Lind, a very impressive 46.1% of comparable players went on to become NHL players. That is extremely noteworthy number with quite a few impact players in that mix...

Most of the cohorts topped out as a middle six forward but that xP/GP is high with 44.7.

[BeardyCanuck03]

From what I've read about Lind I like this pick and he definitely looks like he has the frame to fill out to be a bigger winger without losing speed.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Very happy, my top choice of the players remaining.

 

[Seatoo]

Definitely happy with the pick

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

I don't mind Lind. My only issue is I want a forward at each of the next two picks and thought Hague the pick here.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Why are you overreacting?

He's a good player and not a reach. Ranked 23 for skaters in NA.

Because everything is either the best or worst ever.

He was in the first round on several lists as well. Seemed like he went exactly where he was projected overall.

 

[BeardyCanuck03]

54th on Buttons final rankings. Dang missed on Lipanov and Hepponpomi

Once you get into this range you're going to see a big difference list to list.

 

[Verviticus]

good pick

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Grew up a Canucks' fan, apparently:

 

[Red]

He was 28th on composite aggregate rankings from scouting services. Ranked as high as 19th and as low as 54th.

 

[PG Canuck]

Hard to argue with picking from Kelowna.

 

[biturbo19]

Solid pick. One of the top prospects left, and a ton of goal-scoring skill. Needs to get stronger, but he's got a decent frame, good speed and particularly quickness, a good shot, and good opportunistic goal-scoring instincts. Decent vision as a passer too.

Reminds me a fair bit of someone like Reilly Smith in style, frame, and overall projection. That ability to lurk and jump on slight openings to get his shot off and bury it. Scoring almost out of nowhere. Quick strike offense.

Could see him taking a while in development, but that's just fine. Very excited about this pick.
