2016 NHL Draft | Part 2

[CanaFan]

McLeod with some slick hands. Guy has skill, it's just overshadowed by his speed/power.

 

[Evolu7ion]

Bean reminds me of Hamhuis moreso than Edler, with a bit better goal scoring prowess than Hammer.

Yeah I agree - 1C upside written all over him.

 

[The Drop]

Qmjhl scores again.

A league id avoid as a Canuck fan

 

[CanaFan]

Then Dubois with a slick drive to the net. And Laberge scores. Loving McLeod and Dubois though. So big and skilled.

Dubois looks like an OHL player. Not flashy but very effective and hard working. Sort of a bigger, rangier Bo Horvat.

Ya but based on our luck with the Q I auto dismiss them

Avoid Q defense. Forwards seem ok.

I can't recall the last successful forward the Canucks drafted from the Q

 

[CanaFan]

Oh man, Dubois showing all kids of skills on that goal. Smart stick, good puck take, smart pass, easy tap in.

Yup I made that comparison before. Bulls around the ice.

How many forwards we drafted from the Q period?

 

[Trelane]

At this rate the Woodman may as well be included with Matthews and the Fins in the top tier.

 

[GetFocht]

Lets draft Dubois with our first, and LaBerge with Washington's 1st.

 

[Knight53]

Dubois reminds me of Landeskog.

 

[The Drop]

How many forwards we drafted from the Q period?

Off the top of my head..

Mallet, Bourdon, Zhukenov, Brisebois, Grenier, Polasek, sauve, Vincent, messier...

And now I'll go look

Edit:

Here's a link. I did decent for the last few years.

Well I did say forwards .

And none of the ones we did take were anywhere near the first round, except Mallet who was just a bad idea by Gillis.

I wouldn't avoid Dubois just because CA Messier didn't work out.

 

[ahmon]

1 game but don't like what I see from Chychrun. His game is too much start/stop.

Doesn't really read the play that well.

 

[McHortton]

Matthews
Laine
Puljujarji
PLD
Chychryn/Sergachev
McLeod
Tkachuk
Nylander
Bean/Juolevi

Well Mallet was the end of the Q scouts as a force for the Canucks, bad idea by the Q scouts.

Still find this a strange comparison, a bigger and rangier Horvat is not a Horvat. Dubois skates better than Horvat did in his draft year, is strong, but not built like a hydrant like Horvat, still has a lot of room on his frame, about 3 inches taller, prefers to play wing and has done so most of the season vs a centerman, naturally more physical and a better playmaker IMO. Just so many things different.

Where was Mallet even ranked?

I'm not saying take Dubois 1OA but makes no sense to avoid him based on some bad reaches in the past. Our lack of succes with forwards from the Q is due mainly to a lack of drafting there. I mean how many successes would you expect based on a handful of late round picks?

 

[VasilyHoglander]

As i stated last week is Dubois is there take him. Unless there someone drops.
