What is the appeal of JAD? Seems like a 3rd round pick or later to me

Not sure. Guys I would look at:

-Hague
-Timmins
-Robertson
-Boqvist

 

[M2Beezy]

Would like Timmins

 

[iFan]

I'm leaning towards Timmins, he's offensive game would be welcomed, I like what I'm reading about him.

 

[Nucker101]

1. Aleksi Heponiemi
2. David Farrance
3. Joni Ikonen
4. Grant Mismash
5. Jason Robertson


I think it'll be Timmins if he's there...I'm not a fan.

1040 is saying it'll be some USHL guy.....sounds like Weisbrod is gonna get his way here.

 

[Donuts]

one of Robertson Hague timmins dolan

 

[Biggest Canuck Fan]

In order:

1) P.O. Joseph
2) Henri Jokiharju
3) Aleksei Hopeniemi
4) David Farrance
5) Joni Ikonen
6) Filip Chytil


Hopefully one of these guys slides to 55 as well

Chytil was drafted

If that's the case it will be Mismash who I don't mind but would be targeting Hague. Watched him a few times with Missy and really like his size and potential

Looking into Jason Robertson's stats a little. Scored 81 points on 177 total Kingston goals last season - 45%.

Holy crap - for reference, Mitch Marner put up 126 points on 285 goals for London in his draft year, or 44%. Draisatl put up 105 on 240 goals for Prince Albert in 2014 - 43%.

Not saying they're equivalent, but damnit that's impressive.

Would be thrilled with him or Hague at 33, though I think I'd go Robertson. Also wouldn't mind Heponiemi or Lipanov (especially considering the latter is coming to Barrie next year).

 

[Nucker101]

Chytil was drafted

I posted this way before today

I've been tooting the Robertson horn for a while now (...should probably reconsider my phrasing choice).

Surprised he fell out of the 1st.

No, Sekeres said it was Scott Reedy.

 

[donut]

I'd be thrilled with any of Robertson, Dolan or Timmins with 33.

Mismash and Robertson are definite Benning picks...gritty, shoot first wingers with size who lean on guys

Still...

Benning said that they are set on the wings with the Boesers, Goldobins, Baertschi's and Granlunds.

 

[Nucker101]

Still...

Rangers getting unfairly ripped by some people for a decent pick

 

[TheWolf*]

Man, seems like Timmins would be the type Canucks should be all over.

 

[Nucker101]

Man, seems like Timmins would be the type Canucks should be all over.

I don't think he's a good enough skater at his size or dynamic enough as a PMD, I have concerns that he'll be a "AAAA" player(using a baseball reference). I like his skill, but I don't think his overall package is enticing enough for me to take the plunge at 33.

I know he seems to be on everyone's target lists here so I'm prepared to get flamed because he has a nice stat line.

 

[canucks20]

No, Sekeres said it was Scott Reedy.

As bad as Benning can be, he isn't that dumb

 

[VanJack]

If the Canucks are true to form it'll be Boqvist....another Swede with great speed who played in the SHL as a teen-ager.....but Hague is intriguing....NHL scouts were obsessed with their Finnish d-man, but still a little surprised he fell out of the first round.

 

[TheWolf*]

It isn't Timmins. Benning said that there are 2 or 3 forwards they had projected would be gone at this point that they are targeting at #33.

From Timra too. Did he play on a line with Pettersson and Dahlen? 6 points in 16 SHL games is pretty good for a guy that young, most player that age don't get much ice time in the SHL.

Would prefer Hague but Boqvist looks intriguing. Would drive the anti-soft Swede all tuffness crowd nuts

 

[Motte and Bailey]

Someone should phone up McPhee to find out who we're drafting at 33 Ha ha ha
