Stealll

 

[Velociraptor]

Really, really happy with this!!!!!

 

[WestleySnipez]

One redeeming part of the day. Sucks for him that he fell 10 spots, but awesome for the Canucks! Hopefully he can be a skilled scorer for this club.

our faith has restored? Horvat and Shinkaruk...pretty good picks

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Yes!

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

I'll never be upset that we take a high skill forward.

 

[Flik]

Pure sniper type prospect?

 

[Addison Rae]

Cory who

 

[Imuzi]

 

[Tim McCracken]

Very good pick. Both picks are good but they needed a roster player in that trade.

 

[leftwinglockdown]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!! What a steal. Even though Schneider is gone, Horvat AND Shinkaruk is an awesome haul.

 

[timw33]

Say what you want about Gillis, he hasn't gone off the shark in the first round like Nonis (lol Gauthier).

Absolute steal, a ton of talent and skill.

Video for Shinkaruk. Amazing skill. This is exactly what we needed.

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

two great picks today, very pleased.

 

[y2kcanucks]

[Nucks for the Cup]

[WestleySnipez]

Pure sniper type prospect?

Yessir, but he also has great playmaking ability.

 

[deadinthewater]

No idea about this guy, but...

 

[BerSTUzzi]

If someone told me we'd pick Horvat AND Shinkaruk in the same draft I think I'd cry....welling up now.

 

[Nathan MacKinnon]

I like the Shinkaruk pick, not so much the Horvat pick but it hurts less to see Schneider go after we picked up two solid prospects

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Sooo happy with this pick!

 

[parabola]

This years Schroeder I guess.
