[canucksfan100]

Dont mind the pick TBH, god U17, U18, U19 numbers.

 

[Mofletz]

Why draft Russians??

 

[Baby Pettersson]

6 points in 5 games at the world juniors. Did I hear that right?

Not bad.

 

[MS]

Not a fan of Russian picks.

That said, not familiar with this player at all.

Posted this in the Draft thread but I'll re-post it here.

Offensive wing with an array of moves and skills and a tireless attack pace. Far from strong enough but already shows glimspes that he may be a very good player as he ascends the ranks. Makes things happen at top speed, and although under six foot has a bit of sanrl.

Sekeres made a mistake. It was 6 pts in 5 gp in the U18s, not the World Juniors.

At the U18s. Another 4 points in 5 games at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament.

Sounds alright. Wonder if he can 'rip the puck'? Would think so.

Definitely prefer taking a 160lb player here with skill over a big, talentless guy though. Could be undervalued for numerous reasons - size, as well as being Russian.

Looks like Ron Delorme has all but been eliminated from our staff. Probably the most encouraging thing about today.

Sekeres made a mistake. It was 6 pts in 5 gp in the U18s, not the World Juniors.

And 5 points in 4 games at Hlinka. He's shown he can do it at the world stage

There is like no info on this kid though. Chibisov had to be really impressed with this kid when he went to go see him. Or Benning liked his play at Hlinka. Who knows, but I have no idea who he is and I can't find anything out about him

170 pounds on MHL site, probably around 175 in actuality. but PPG in U17, U18 and U19 pretty much.

Still not bad though. I enjoy picks like this in the later rounds.

 

[Nuckles]

Would have preferred Korostelev, Pilon, or Carrier at this spot...

Well Benning picked him so ...

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Pretty sure it's updated that he is 175 pounds.

 

[Numbers]

Next Bure

 

[canuckking1]

has Connor garland been drafted yet?

I like this pick, later rounds is where you should be taking chances on smaller, flighty, skilled players. I know nothing about this kid so it will be interesting getting to follow him.

And yet another poster who has no idea what a Jim Benning player is...

Benning looks for tools, not size.

 

[DadBod]

It would be nice to see some Russian/Euro guys weigh in on him.

To be fair I don't think anyone knows who a Benning player is. In fact I don't think Benning does either.

 

[Nuckles]

I will say this, his name is definitely worth a 4th round pick.
