[polarbearcub]

Like why wouldn't you take him at 194... Bizarre

 

[The Drop]

Horrible draft. Kicked off with Juolevi

Abols wasn't even in the draft book lol

 

[Canucks LB]

Abols wasn't even in the draft book lol

We saw abols play tho, he played extremely well in dev camp no?

 

[Canucks LB]

No ronning...

 

[PM]

If Benning thinks he is getting a NHL player with every pick this draft he is even crazier than I thought. So far this draft looks terrible, no high upside picks at all, a few reaches and a 20 year old we didn't even need to draft.

If he was that good we should have signed him for free instead of wasting a pick

Stop acting like you know ANYTHING about him.

 

[polarbearcub]

And they didn't take ronning

 

[Skirbs1011]

Brett Mckenzie WTF

 

[GPNuck]

Well **** you Jim

 

[Craz1bo1]

We want ALL the overagers!

 

[Ainec]

Can you imagine if this was a Gillis draft

No because it'd be a lot better. Would have swung a deal and landed Puljujarvi

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Here's some info from last summer's prospect camp about him:

http://canucksarmy.com/2015/9/15/fun-with-the-cba-why-the-canucks-can-t-sign-rodrigo-abols

Not sure if we're ineligible to sign him now and that's why we drafted him instead.
I wonder if we hold his rights until 26 like Rodin?

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Aaaaand yay we passed on Ronning.

Morons.

 

[PM]

Exactly. I just don't understand why we throw away a draft pick after having so few draft picks. I've never seen a "draft guru" value draft picks so low. Waiting to see how many we get dinged for his idiot mouth yesterday.

 

[GPNuck]

Seriously fire this clown.. I'm so tired of his meat and potatoes

 

[Canucks LB]

Stop acting like you know ANYTHING about him.

I remember his name, that's about it

 

[Raistlin]

McKenzie.


I hate this draft. Thousand cuts.

 

[KahunaBaby]

And they didn't take ronning

Why wouldn't LF throw his buddy Cliff a bone and take his kid with a late 7th? Unreal...

 

[petrishriekandgo]

Last two picks well over 6ft and over 200lbs. An absolute rebuke on Ronnings size...

 

[Leon Draisaitl]

Every team is passing on Ronning, Sokolov and Kuznetsov? I wonder if there's a good reason.

Nah, I know better, Benning is an idiot.

 

[PM]

Given our draft position this could be one of the worst Canucks drafts I've seen since following the team. After the worst season I have ever personally watched.

 

[Cupless44]

Predicting Vancouver with the worst draft grade from all pundits.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

We took three overagers.

Final draft grade: D
