GDT: 2013 NHL Entry Draft - TSN - 12:00PM Sunday, June 30

[GranvilleIsland]

Lazar/Rychel/Petan/Pulock/Hartman

are my top choices atm

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Rychel now. Please don't screw this up Gillis.

 

[shortshorts]

Still waiting for the Luongo trade and our 24th pick (RYCHEL).

 

[Zack Kassian]

Now that i've come to terms with the trade, as long as this isn't the only move we make before the season i'll save my judgement. Not counting the little moves like 3rd and 4th line signings. Want some shakeups to hopefully actually make are team better next year.

 

[mrmyheadhurts]

I still hate the trade but yes, it took a lot of balls to make that trade. Either that, or very little brains.

 

[ruiner]

Ya, cuz if MG passed on Nichuskin he's sure to be all over Zadorov.

Seriously, I think we can safely discount Nucks drafting any Russians for the duration of the current regime. Would love to be proven wrong cuz Zhykov is still on board.

After how Shirokov turned out can you really blame him?

 

[EpochLink]

Even if he wanted out what's he going to do, not report and give up his contract? We've all seen he's a professional and he still gave his all this past half-season even with all this crap surrounding him.

True, even with AV left him in games when he got shellacked 7-8 goals.

 

[thefeebster]

I hope Curtis Lazar falls to us, but I have a strong feeling that Columbus will take him.

You jinx! I was trying not to mention it

After drafting Horvat already, I'd say we can afford to take a bit of a risk with a Russian.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Well he really has no choice in the matter he has a contract with the Canucks he probably new this situation was a possibility. Now it's settle and he's a starter again.

Even if he wanted out what's he going to do, not report and give up his contract? We've all seen he's a professional and he still gave his all this past half-season even with all this crap surrounding him.

This just warms the heart though, I'm sure it will all be sunshine and daffodils with Luongo. Oh, and cue Dreger.

 

[ruiner]

You know he'll still compete even if he's not happy at first. He'll get over it.

 

[Bleach Clean]

More the latter I'd say.

Good, not that Russians are bad hockey players they're just not great team players. I really like the Horvat pick. I'd much rather have a Richards type.

 

[timw33]

Id be interested in trading down to get a 2nd round pick. Or hopefully Lazar/Petan might be available

 

[Hardyvan123]

the amount of risk that gillis takes on with this trade is unreal

The only thing greater is the lack of understanding what a good deal it is for the Canucks moving forward.

We are a much better team and in a much better position moving forward with Bo than Cory and Cory is a great goalie.

We either keep Lou and have him plus Bo or keep Cory plus nothing.

 

[TruKnyte]

Gillis is going to need to bend over to somehow make Luongo buy into this

 

[Zack Kassian]

Good thing I actually like luongo. Hope he wants to stay.

 

[Treefingers]

This just warms the heart though, I'm sure it will all be sunshine and daffodils with Luongo. Oh, and cue Dreger.

Doesn't matter, he'll still report and play. He can be as pissed as he wants, but the team ultimately just chose him over Schneider.

 

[Mason10]

So many players to choose from..keep dropping ____ keep dropping.

 

[Love]

Im just gonna miss Schneids. Such a stud. Hopefully Horvat is welcomed with open arms by Vancouver and not constantly compared to Schneider...

 

[Addison Rae]

Ottawa's gonna steal Shinkaruk.

 

[ruiner]

Im just gonna miss Schneids. Such a stud. Hopefully Horvat is welcomed with open arms by Vancouver and not constantly compared to Schneider...

Yeah just like Kassian was. Oh wait...

 

[y2kcanucks]

Well my top 4 hopefuls for the Canucks at 24 is now:

1. Hunter Shinkaruk
2. Curtis Lazar
3. Adam Erne
4. Kerby Rychel

 

[LeftCoast]

Sens will take Shinkaruck

 

[TruKnyte]

Yeah just like Kassian was. Oh wait...

I'm expecting big things for Kassian this year under Torts, gotta gut feeling
