We could literally waive every single defender aside from Tanev and Edler, sign 5 $1 million free agents (or promote middling prospects like Sautner) and we wouldn't lose a thing.

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Get the feeling that Hutton is gone in the offseason.
Pouliot, Biega, and Gudbranson should be #7s on decent teams.
Gudbranson and Tanev are both injured enough to miss a full season so combined they only take up 1 spot.

Ugh this is a bad juju thread

Canucks aren't going to win the lottery. I could see them picking 3rd though.

To answer the question: Gudbranson, MDZ, Pouliot can all go. Team wouldn't lose anything on the ice if they lost those guys to waivers.

48years and no 1st round draft picks... bound to come around. This is GOOD JuJU.

I think they will win the 2nd pick, then proceed to trade down to select a dmen (who in 3-4 years still won't be in a canucks uniform while several others picked after him will be in NHL). They will get an extra 3rd round pick and talk about how great they are at acquiring more picks.

As well the offensive players selected at 2-3 will go on to have great NHL careers. It feels like them winning the second overall pick is the situation that has the most potential for stupidity (their version of shrewdness) to follow.

Please shut down this thread

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

my prediction hasn't changed

against all historical precedents of canuck luck we win the lottery

jim benning walks up to the podium with a determined look on his face

he looks bravely at the stands and attempts to stare down a few journalists who have been picking on him, but looks down at the last minute

"with the number one overall pick, the vancouver canucks are pleased to select... [pauses for emphasis]... brady tackachuck"

and you guys say he never learns

I can't delete your post... a MOD could though.

Nobody, because Dahlin won’t be a Canuck.

 

[Seattle Totems]

Every single time someone has to jinx it. Delete this thread now. Not cool.

 

[Charles Bushman]

Hutton or Gudbranson please

 

[CalderSchmalder]

Even 3rd overall is unlikely, let alone 1st overall.

I'm excited for tomorrow but my expectations are pretty low.

 

[MS]

Watching people believe in luck and history and lottery simulators every year makes me sad.

There's a small chance we get Dahlin. There's a large chance we don't. Chance is all it is, like flipping a coin.

 

[elwin316]

Isn't this just another way of asking "which Canuck defender do you like the least"? Regardless, my answer is still Pouliot haha

48 years with no #1's and a thread on a chatboard is the reason? Come on now...

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Our karma is good this year, like the Jets in 2016 winning out the year.

A stroke of good luck could potentially make us perennial contenders.

Us “winning out” hurt our chances significantly actually.

Statistically yes, but Karmically... no way. Agree with GBB.

 

[Addison Rae]

imagine thinking karma exists in a lottery.

 

[vancityluongo]

karma exists

Not true. We had the #1 overall pick in the Sedin year.
