Vancouver's Twitter released a sneekpeek at their draft summit. The numbers at the start are a lot and should make you cautious to take someone's word in here about a player.

 

[Mrb1p]

Can't help but think theyre talking about Dellandrea here for a while, I don't know if its all the same player but it really seems like it. I think they also talked about Kotkaniemi in there.

 

[G0bias]

Wonder if the part at 2:23 where they mention Bo Horvat's skating in his draft year and Pettersson being used on the wing in higher leagues but a center in his age group was about Jesperi. I could see the Canucks real high on him at 7.

 

[The Great Weal]

I didn't hear a single f-bomb. Vancouver is doing it wrong.

Yeah I think they were talking about Kotkaniemi there

I heard alot of "karakter" so they got part of it.

The part where they talked about a player hitting 80 points elsewhere, I think its Dellandrea

Tough matchups, another team 80 points, good player but doesnt elevate teammates, character, its def Dellandrea.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Yeah dellendrea looks like a solid prospect . He played as a number one Center for flint

They don't call you the sherlock Holmes of HF habs for nothing. Or maybe they don't idk.

Makes sense.What's more surprising is, if it's the same guy, they have 5 other centers still ahead of him?

Kotkaniemi, Hayton, Veleno, Kupari, Thomas?

 

[David Suzuki]

Grant should give us a free draft preview

 

[WinterLion]

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing that. I'd love to be in one of those meetings!

 

[WeThreeKings]

Grants gone bud.

 

[G0bias]

Kotkaniemi, Hayton, Veleno, Kupari, Thomas?

Could be. But that's what I'm saying, 6'2 right-handed center and they see him as an 80pts player outside of Flint? That should have him in the conversation for #2-3.

It's probably a consensus, so one of their scouts thinks that, while others disagree.

 

[Habs76]

On a pure value standpoint, it'd be a smart move.
But seeing as Kotkaniemi's on the Wings' radar I'd trade down no further than 6th and even then I'd be concerned about Ottawa taking him.

I think Detroit takes Bouchard, seems to be what their fans expect to happen.

 

[The Great Weal]

One center I would be gutted if we miss out on is sda.

I got Kotkaniemi, and thought of Veleno too

Yeah I just re-listened and that very last part probably wasn't Dellandrea but someone else they were talking.

I love when teams post these videos. Here is the canucks 2017 draft video:
I would love to see the Habs do this.

The 2005 Caps one with management jumping up when they heard we were taking Carey which meant Brule would fall to them is hilarious with hindsight.
So was the Boston round-table pre-Seguin trade where Benning sounds like a complete idiot.

 

[The Great Weal]

Anyone know much about Trey Fix-Wolansky? Small overager, 89 points in 71 games. 2nd highest scoring teammate has 60 points in 66 games.
