Are Canucks possibly building a super team, that comes to be in the near future?

[Artorius Horus T]

They have BBoeser (F), BHorvat (F), SBärtschi (F), EPettersson (F), JDahlén (F), TDemko (G),
QHughes (D), AGaudette (F),KLind (F), PPalmu (F), OJuolevi (D), MThiessen (G), MDiPietro
TUtunen (D), JGadjovich (F)

All above ages from 18 to 24 - If they could draft Jack Hughes (F) next year... -

Even though these of following are not star players, they are still decent players
and all are greatly u30 years old.

D: TStecher (24), DPouliot (24), BHutton (25), EGrudbranson (26)
even Tanev&Del Zotto are both under 30

F: NGoldobin (22), BGaunce (24), RBoucher (24), MaGranlund (24), BLeipsic (24)
these forwards are also u30: Gagner,Schaller,Roussell,Sutter

[1967th Heaven]

promising future? yes
"super team"? no

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

There's one star player on that list and a potential superstar in QH.

That's not a super team.

 

[LeafFever]

"Super Team"? What?

 

[tarheelhockey]

It’s a young team.

 

[Raging Bull]

They are doing this radical different technique of acquiring young top end talent and hoping they develop into great NHLers. Other teams take note.

 

[NyQuil]

No.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Not even close. They've got a lot of promise, but the standards of calling any team a "super team" in any sport are very high. I'm not even sure they match up to other teams in similar situation (like Carolina or Toronto).

 

[Butch 19]

um... isn't every team that missed the playoffs building a super team right now?

 

[mouz135]

There's one star player on that list and a potential superstar in QH.

That's not a super team.

Do you not consider Boeser to be a star? I mean, if he can replicate last season or do better, then I would say yes he is.

 

[GellMann]

It's nearly as good a group of prospects as you'll see in a given NHL year, but no list of just prospects is close to a guarantee of a super team ever.

 

[Nizdizzle]

I think if they all pan out the Canucks can be confident about making the playoffs every year. Anything more than that is counting your chickens before they hatch.

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

Do you not consider Boeser to be a star? I mean, if he can replicate last season or do better, then I would say yes he is.

I most certainly consider Boeser a star, as he was who I was referring to when I said one star.

 

[Wandering Cynic]

Not a super team yet, but a hell of a good team. If they get Jack Hughes, then the "super team" idea definitely begins to creep in.

Currently got the best centre prospect in hockey, the 2nd or 3rd best defensive prospect in hockey, and a top three goalie prospect. Three cornerstone players mixed within their deep prospect and youth.

 

[Lahey]

Hahahahahah no.

 

[Mickey Marner]

They have 5-6 good pieces plus their 2019 first. Hardly a super team.

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

You'd think that those "decent" u30 forwards would all be in the line up on a consistent basis on a team that's contending for the 1st overall pick

 

[Deam78]

I don't see any name in the list above that warrant a "superteam" tag.

Boeser is great, but as of now, that's it.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Lol

 

[TMLeafs18]

There are way too many unknowns and way too little sure things to consider the canucks anything other then rebuilding. You never really know how these kids will do in the NHL until they start playing there. Right now all they are is a team with a lot of promise.

 

[nbwingsfan]

There's one star player on that list and a potential superstar in QH.

That's not a super team.

Boesner and Petterson absolutely have superstar potential as well.

Definitely not a superteam team though.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

They still have a ways to go. Their struggle will be the still young, but more developed rebuilt cores of their Western Canadian rivals.

McDavid, Draisaitl, Puljujarvi, RNH, Yamamoto, Nurse, Bouchard, Klefbom, Larsson
Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Lindhom, Bennett, Dube, Hanifin, Andersson, Kylington

Vancouver is going to have to land Jack Hughes to compete with those young cores.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

yes, because as we all know every NHL prospect always reaches his maximum potential and the teams with the best prospect pools always end up as dynasties within 5 years, just like the Panthers, Islanders, and Wild have proven.

 

[PullHard]

Pettersson - Horvat - Boeser has potential to be a really good line

and Quinn Hughes has a really high ceiling

After that it looks like most other team's prospect pools. Some good young NHLers who might be top 6 Fs/ top 4 Ds if everything goes right for them.

Demko has promise but goalies are voodoo and I don't even pretend to be able to forecast their careers anymore.

Really really far off from being a super team. Inserting J Hughes in there would be helpful to getting the team competitive.

 

[Rolo]

Very bad defense prospect pool outside of Hughes & Juolevi.

Forward prospects are looking promising, as well as goaltending (Demko & DiPietro)
