Prove it

Because they drafted him lol

Looks like this is shaping to be a great selection. I seem to recall many people being upset that we passed on Jack Wise, but it looks like management made the correct decision here.

IS Gradin scouting the WHL now, thought he was a European scout?

I'd rather have him than Ron Delorme doing it.

This guy will surprise and be the biggest steal of the draft when it’s said and done.

I like these low body weight high talent selections the team has been going for as weight is one of the easier things to control with a player.

Great pick by the Canucks

Anyone with hockey knowledge agrees with this post

Tyler Madden is rocketing up the prospect depth chart for the Canucks. Was hot before the WJC, but seems to have returned to Northeastern with a boat-load of confidence. Those dangles are just filthy and show elite level-skill.

What he's doing as a true freshman in the NCAA is ridiculous. Way ahead of Gaudette at the same age. Maybe another year at Northeastern and then hopefully signs with the Canucks? He'd be a fun player to watch in Utica.

Hot take: this kid is easily in our top 3 prospects and will make the NHL within two years.

 

[VanJack]

Back in the day, Tyler's old man John Madden was a 190 pound winger who willed himself into the NHL with a relentless work ethic and good straight line speed. A key penalty killer and shut-down forward for Jacques Lemaire's NJ Devils who won a couple of Cups.

If son Tyler can combine that driven work ethic with some of the high-end skill he's demonstrating, then look out! Just needs to get bigger. But even if he ends up playing at the 5'11" 175 pound range that could be enough.

You try to temper your enthusiasm for all Canuck picks. But hard not get pumped about this player. Sure the comparisons to Gaudreau are 'over the top'. But this could still be a 'home-run pick' for a third rounder.

No pts so far in the FIRST period 0-0 Northeastern Vs opponent

With Gaudette and Demko currently on the Canucks, is it even much of a hot take? You have Quinn Hughes that is clearly above him, then you have a floundering Juolevi who is probably above him. Then it starts getting pretty dire. Dipeitro?

Lockwood is having a good season after a major injury last year.
Interesting to see if he signs with us, if he returns then he’s basically gone

He reminds me of Toews with his dekes.

Sorry I didn't post earlier, pretty big game going on between NU and UMass-Amherst. Two of the better HE teams.

Makar's the most noteworthy name in the game but Marc Del Gaizo is someone I'm mildly interesting in drafting with a late round pick. The fact that there's a "Gaudet" on the other team is tripping me out.

 

[Josepho]

VERY nice OT winner from my boy

Madden on a 2 on 1 goes backhand shelf in OT

Love the celebration!
