If you could quote this post in the OP it would be groovy.

Edit: thanks!

If we're 6th place, would you offer McCann+6th to move into top 3?

For 1 or 2, hell yes. For 3, nope.

 

[WhoseLainesItAnyway]

We're drafting Laine 100% guaranteed and it will change the franchise. Prepare yourselves.

 

[iceburg]

Things will get a lot clearer in 10 days....
I think I might just tune out until then.

How LucBourdon-esque of you.

 

[Laterade]

ready to draft Dubois because I don't believe Canucks and luck can ever co-exist. Prove me wrong RNG gods.

Canucks win lottery...and then expansion team is announced and awarded the 1st overall pick.

No way were getting Matthews with the 1st. I cant see it not happening tbh

 

[hellstick]

A lottery pick would be just gravy. Ten days remain until we learn our fate!

 

[WhoseLainesItAnyway]

How LucBourdon-esque of you.

No playoffs can do strange things to a man. I may be the next Nostradamus Big Rings or I may be insane, only time will tell.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

God, can it hurry up and be the 30th already?

Why is it so late this year

 

[PM]

As long as we end up with one of the top-5 players I will be happy. If we get bumped to sixth or Jimbo gets creative I will be upset.

Tkachuk with a 3+1 night vs Erie in the opener of the conference finals. He now has 26 points . 13g 13a in 11 games

His finals have really pushed him up the draft charts, like Horvat's finals did. I think he was around 6/7/8 for me but now he's 4/5 slot.

 

[D0ctorCool]

I had Tkachuk ahead of Pulju to start the year. Tkachuk is the man. The dude is a victim of being over scouted.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Tkachuk is right with Chychrun and Dubois in that 4-6 tier. Can't go wrong with any of them, and we're virtually guaranteed one of them

 

[dwarf]

If we're 6th place, would you offer McCann+6th to move into top 3?

Yes for the number one pick.. But otherwise no, I think McCann has the potential to become a number one center.

And the difference in talent from third to tenth is marginal. Certainly not worth giving up assets for.

He is the consensus #4, not Dubois...

 

[Bleach Clean]

There is no consensus #4 pick in this draft. After the 3 most talked about players, it's open at the #4 pick and beyond.

If in that #4 position, I would take PLD over Tkachuk. But Tkachuk is definitely making his case late.

More like Dubois made his case late. Dubois wasn't really on anyone's radar as a top 4 pick until a couple months ago. Tkachuk is just doing what he's been doing all year.
