You’re out to lunch. M2B’s data vault would make your head spin. The turnip system will have you deleting this post, guaranteed.

I'm curious about fan perception regarding this franchise's prospect pool vs. PHI's prospect pool? PHI has the following at the top:
1. Hart
2. Frost
3. Farabee
4. Myers
5. Lindblom
That's a high end collection of players. Hart has franchise goalie potential and Frost is tracking like a 1C. Given that they already have Patrick, Provorov, Ghostisbehere and Konecny on the main roster, this is a team that is very well set up for the future. How does VAN compare?
Follow up question: With a pick surplus in the last 4 years, and 7 first round picks over that span, has PHI done more to rebuild their pool than VAN has done?
Curious about your thoughts.

PHI is much better due to the young talent on their NHL roster.
Van's prospect pool is better because EP and QH are better than anything Philly has.
I'm a homer so I like the Canucks' prospect pool better but Philadelphia has a better collection of young players. For me, Demko, Pettersson, and Hughes are better than their top 3. Throw in Juolevi, Dahlen, Lind etc. and it's better.
But the Flyers have a better collection of young players. As for doing more to rebuild their pool, the #2 and #3 prospects you listed for the Flyers involved trading a 26 year old Brayden Schenn (a player who Gillis apparently wasn't interested in unfortunately).

Philly has much more prime age assets than the Canucks so are in much better shape as an organization with similar if not better young nhl players but yes Canucks have much higher level prospects outside nhl and will likely get more. Philly has good chance of being a really good team until their vets age out. Canucks need more high end drafts and a lot of other things to go well to be a good team. However if they are patient and stack a few more top end picks they may come out as a contender at the end similar to where Toronto is now.

I wonder how the "HF/Canucks" 'vets' will respond if and when Pettersson and Hughes + Boeser + Demko start to tear it up pretty quick 2019+ onwards, lifting this team to playoff series++

No one should be surprised if we make the playoffs with Benning still here, the Dave Nonis leafs made the playoffs. We won’t ever win a cup with him in charge.

I don't see any 1st or 2nd or even 3rd overall's on this team, hell not even 4th overall.
Just solid drafting since 2014.

Seriously.....they get top ten drafts because they are so bad. “Solid drafting” could be done by a potato.

lol clearly you haven't seen the Canucks draft history.
Until Horvat traded for the #1G Schneider, the draft picking no matter what - was trash, near last place or not the draft choices were horrible, the laughing stock of the league practically!!!
For real, this franchise was horrible at drafting prior to Jim Benning and his squad taking over.

All the way to it's existence.

It wasn't that long ago that Hunter Shinkaruk was considered one of our best prospects,some people have no f***ing clue...
skyo
Benning Squad
Are you serious? lol
Shink ain't even a close comparable to what Pettersson and Hughes will become.
Hell even Boeser was picked after Shinkaruk.

lol...I'm agreeing with you..I was stating how far we have come in 4 years..
Well hes right we do have pretty elite drafting now, not only the top picks but also after the first round like Demko Gaudette Dipietro Lindy Brassard Etc. 2016 was a dud but for the most part pretty dam good

well i think a lot of people here would be surprised if we made the playoffs with benning still here. or else they are liars.
regardless, it is going to be absolutely glorious reminding folks of all their hot takes for the next couple of years.
