With the 10th selection, would the Canucks select Jack Skille or Alex Bourret?
What do you think?

Staal is the next best option, but I think the Canucks really need an offensive forward who can score more than a defenseman.gameface said:If they're the two that are left on my board, I'd take Skille. Bourret wouldn't be a bad consolation prize since he sounds kind of like Matt Cooke with a better scoring touch.
I'm also hoping Staal will still be available, thus giving the Canucks more options.

Also, just to add to the discussion, what kind of defenseman is Staal? Similar to Jack Johnson?
Rabid Ranger said:They don't share alot of similarities IMO. Staal is the kind of guy that will play 15 years on your blueline and rarely make a mistake, but not stand out all that much (especially offensively). Johnson is more dynamic, and a much more punishing style of defenseman. Both styles have considerable value.

Well, you could say any pick prediction is a bold prediction. They are all just guesses.Brule said:Very bold prediction.
I mean, with every draft, players fall from their expected draft positions. Think of Shremp and Tukonen last year. Chicago's going 7th, and with Crosby/Brule/Johnsson/Pouliot/Kopitar/Ryan rounding up a "top 6", I highly doubt Skille is the consensus "next in line".
We still have O'Marra, Staal, Price in the same group as Skille.
