Post-Game Talk: With 58% odds to pick 7th or 8th, Vancouver will select... 7th in the 2018 NHL Draft

[lawrence]

Honestly, if the Canucks don't get the #1 overall pick they are still going to get a great player. I think there are 9 top players and the Canucks will get one of them.

My only hope, is that the Canucks pick in the top 6 and get either Boqvist or Hughes.

Personally I think they teams got the eye's set on a player after the draft order is announced, wether we win the 1st pick or not. We got a good one coming.

but hey WE ARE WINNING THIS YEARS LOTTERY.

 

[Caspian]

Dang, I just realize St Louis doesnt have their own 1st round pick, traded away in the Schenn trade

Lottery protected (top 10 protected)

Lottery protected (top 10 protected)

Well, it’s not top 10 so it’s not protected

Schenn had 70 points for them. I don't think they will be too worried.

Anyone seen Wahlstrom's numbers broken down with and without Hughes?

31 points (16G 15A) in 26 games before Hughes arrived.

126 SOG in 26 games as well.

Interesting. So basically a PPG player until Hughes arrives, then in 28 games together Wahlstrom scores 52 and Hughes 51. That would worry me a bit if drafting him.

 

[Grub]

I would draft Quinn Hughes if Dahlin and Boqvist are not available. What he did as a rookie their is quite amazing.

I got him at 6 Grubster. Gotta go BPA and i think Wahlstorm and Zadina are ahead of Hughes too in addition to the two you mentioned plus Svech. Him and Kotkaniemi at 6/7 probably

I'm a bit skeptical with Zadina actually. I don't know why he just reminds me to much of his countrymen Pavel Zacha.

The USNTDP U18 schedule is so damn complex, thats why some players forgo it and just stick with a USHL team in their draft year.

In those 28 games he played against
USHL
NCAA Div III
NCAA Div I
International tournaments

against DIV I NCAA he had 9 points in 8 games

 

[Caspian]

Well, it’s not top 10 so it’s not protected

They could win the lottery and retain the rights to draft in a top 3 spot. Any non-playoff team can win picks #1, #2, and #3. Heads-up play by St. Louis management to put conditions on the pick (unlike Calgary). And yeah trading a late 1st and a mid 1st is nothing to cry over.


Schenn has been an excellent pick-up and he's only 26

 

[M2Beezy]

1 Dahlin
2 Svech
3 Wahlstorm
4 Zadina
5 Boquist
6 Kotkaniemi
7 Hughes
8 Dobson
9 Farabee
10 Tkachuck
11 Bouchard

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

1 Dahlin
2 Svech
3 Wahlstorm
4 Zadina
5 Boquist
6 Kotkaniemi
7 Hughes
8 Dobson
9 Farabee
10 Tkachuck
11 Bouchard

look forward to your new list tomorrow.

 

[lawrence]

Hughes or Boqvist whoever is still left. My reasons is what I mentioned in the Ehroff retirement comment. We need offensive time in the offensive zone, quality ones, I think those guys can deliver that. This can be a difference of 20 points for Boeser Pettersson.

 

[Grub]

Oh god I wish we would get Dahlin.

Dahlin, Petterson, Dahlen . Lets have a miracle here.

 

[Black Noise]

look forward to your new list tomorrow.

Kotkaniemi will be #1 by the end of the week on his list

 

[CanaFan]

I'm a bit skeptical with Zadina actually. I don't know why he just reminds me to much of his countrymen Pavel Zacha.

Except Zadina put up 44 goals in his draft year and Zacha put up 44 goals in his entire CHL career.

 

[geebaan]

Kotkaniemi will be #1 by the end of the week on his list

honestly don't know much about him. Why do you say this?

 

[Canucks LB]

I have made a very(not really) important decision...

I have decided to SACRIFICE myself for the greater good of the Canucks team.

I have over 55k Posts, I have been a member so long that I went through medical problems, got married, found a great career, and many other fantastic and god awful events since I first joined.

I will DELETE my account and start a completely Fresh account IF the gods listen and accept this sacrifice and we WIN THE DRAFT LOTTERY and pick #1 and draft Dahlin.

For the people who love me and hate me, I am willing to do this.
(honestly this means nothing but ill do it for fun)

So lets win this damn lottery.

 

[DFAC]

Damn that's some dedication LB

Just realized I created my account over 10 years ago on HF........ I wonder who the other old timers are on here

 

[DomY]

Significantly fewer posts, but an equivalent amount of milestones since I joined here too. The only reason I logged in again was to block certain backwards typing posters from my boards. I'll pledge to unblock him if we draft #1 OA.

The real sacrifice right here.
