2019 NHL Draft, Pt. III

[bossram]

If Zegras and Boldy are gone in the top 9, would seriously look at Heinloa or Soderstrom for our pick.

U18's will be fun to watch.

I've been coming around on a defenseman at 10. Initially I was set on "take one of the forwards available" but I do think now that Heinola and Seiderstrom would be worthy picks at #10 in their own right.

Heinola is having a very strong playoff performance as well.

 

[Inferno]

Hey guys...nyr fan coming to Vancouver for the draft...any chance anyone knows when the draft Tix will go on sale...maybe from your season ticket reps? Before I book my flight ia wannamake sure I get a ticket.

Thanks!

Bump!

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Bump!

A date for tickets to be on sale has not been announced yet. One would figure it would happen very soon, though.

 

[M2Beezy]

Maybe use Google rather than rely on your memory. It's not hard to look up.

Haha too true

 

[Knight53]

Man, don't even think Boldy will be there for us

looks like a faster version of the Tkachuk bros

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Zegras looks to still be injured . I believe not in lineup vs Sweden at u18s

 

[Motte and Bailey]

Bump!

No one knows yet. It hasn't been announced but will likely be in the next few weeks..

 

[Bankerguy]

to me there's a clear cut top 9 and a drop off after that
all we need is for one of those top 9 teams to go out on a limb and take someone else.

There are a lot of players in the Top 15 that I would love to have to be honest. Imagine how big a difference it'd make to our prospect pool and future if we could pick another 1st in that range.

Walking away with Heinola/Soderstrom and Caufield/Boldy/Brink would be huuuge.

 

[Knight53]

Boldy and Caufield are nuts

2nd time those two have connected

 

[jonnygf40]

Caufield with that hat trick .... think it's time I slot in in the 10 spot.

 

[nucksflailtogether]

How? Assets like tanev, baertshi, goldy, 2nd rounder probably won't cut it. Gaudette perhaps but why not just keep him.

Maybe Hutton and a 2nd for a late 1st. But you just dont see these trades that often.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Looking at pick 40, if he's still available Vladislav Firstov could be a solid pick.

He would be First off my list

I highly doubt the "clear top 9" go in the top 9. 1 or 2 teams will pick someone not in that group.

Can you clarify who your clear top 9 is?

Somehow managed to watch most of both games today even though they were at the same time. Comments on draft-eligibles only.

Liked:
Broberg, Soderstrom, Holmstrom - I understand that Broberg hasn't produced well in league play but he always looked a smart player when I've seen him
Boldy, Turcotte, York - Caufield will always be one of those guys where you're like, yeah he scored 3 goals but he didn't do much aside from that
Krebs, Tracey, Rees, Washkurak, Pelletier - never understood hate for Tracey, always seemed like a very talented player to me, should be 1st rounder; Krebs grasping chance to raise status for sure; Rees still fast and skilled since last I checked
Heinola, Raty - there were a few Finnish forwards that looked fast and skilled but I didn't do well to keep track of them

Didn't like:
Cozens - did some good things but chased the game as usual
Kokkonen - pretty good player but doesn't look like someone with top end ability
Hughes - he's the kind of player who turns the puck over ton and is still amazing because he gets it so much with his speed but you hope see him control the play more at this level

 

[GetFocht]

Boldy needs to settle down, don't need him having his stock rise now.

I don't know why I found that so funny to read.

 

[BeardyCanuck03]

never understood hate for Tracey, always seemed like a very talented player to me, should be 1st rounder

The talk was that he was playing with two very good older junior players and his numbers were inflated due to that. I've only watched him a couple times but in those games I felt he was a very smart player who used his linemates well and drove more offense than given credit for.

If he's available at 40, I'd be quite happy if the Canucks draft him.

At 40, the players I've keyed in on are Tracey, Nolan Foote, Lassi Thomson, Kaedan Korczak, or Nathan Légaré.

 

[Bankerguy]

Can you clarify who your clear top 9 is?

The first two followed by Cozens Dach Zegras Turcotte Boldy Byram Podkolzin

I dont see anyone there slipping out of the top 9 unless someone really likes Caufield...or if a team wants to draft a D then they'd take Soderstrom

Krebs is in that mix for the top 9 IMO, and any of Brink, Caufield, Kaliyev, and Soderstrom could surprise and jump up.

Basically my list as well. Which is why somehow adding an additional 2nd rounder would be nice to be able to grab a forward and a D in the 2nd round.

Boldy needs to settle down, don't need him having his stock rise now.

Exactly,ue needs to get the flu for the next week so he looks slow and sluggish.
