Rumor: Canucks after young forward who was drafted high

[Hallzy]

jake virtanen?

We just posted the exact same message at the exact same time lol

 

[Henkka]

Alex Turcotte it is.

Its like the Canucks dont watch how the past 15 years worth of cup winners assembled their teams.

This isnt the pre cap era where you could build in free agency or trades... the draft is where you build. Throw money at the best scouts in the world, and stop trading draft picks.

What percentage of the rosters of the last however many cup winners were trade and free agent versus draft

'But picks give you assets to make those trades'

We will see what happens after the draft how this all shapes up

Holtz ? I can’t think of a fair return thats fits the Devils needs.
McLeod was a first round pick…..Same as Stillman .….
Holtz McLeod Stilman and Blackwood for Demko lol.
I wish …

Why is their MO looking for highly drafted but underperforming players? Why not just look for players they like using their amateur scouts? Do they not have confidence and bank on the player having untapped potential?

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

In order of likelihood imo: Bennett, Reinhart, Kotkaniemi, Zadina, Turcotte, Andersson, Ritchie, Hayton, Lafreniere, Farabee, Mittlestadt, Newhook, Brown, Glass, Vrana (if healthy), Macleod, Holtz, Rossi, and Jarvis. The last 6 names are very unlikely.

I went back to the 2014 draft and included the first half of 1st rounds. Very broad, I know, but I’d be shocked if it involves a player that’s not on this list.

D. Strome has a nice juicy extension that looks like something the Nucks would give him.

What a bunch of freaking idiots. How about keeping the damn first round picks in the first place?!!

Gross franchise and even more so the owner

This morning Scott Regehr of CBC Sports even audible sighed several times before he could talk about the latest trade debacle. Thomas Drance looked despondent and just left shaking his head in disbelief

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Zadina it is...

[MasterMatt25]

This has to be hayton or KK

I think Turcotte

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

My guess is Turcotte.

Will be done in a Demko deal.

It's specifically because they want players who will be ready to contribute at the NHL level within the next year or two. They do not want to build for further out than that. If they decided they wanted players who could contribute by the end of the decade, they'd consequently move Hughes and Pettersson and Demko and completely rebuild.

 

[Nakawick]

Puljujarvi

 

[DFC]

I feel like the Canucks are just doomed to bad management.

 

[BringTheReign]

Turcotte for Demko straight up.

Some of our fans deserve this.

 

[Hansen]

Zadina it is...

Will our 2023 1st be enough?

 

[pomx]

Can they get rid of the 6 wingers who are making 5M+ first before looking for more wingers? Ugh

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Will our 2023 1st be enough?

Unfortunately not

 

[Peter Griffin]

My guess is Turcotte.

Will be done in a Demko deal.

Oy Vey(2.0)!

 

[nturn06]

Oh man, I did not expect the Canes to flip Pulju so fast

 

[Hansen]

Unfortunately not

Damnit I guess our 2024 1st is gone too
