2024 2025 Tank Thread

There is but I just don't think there is that much upside in any 1st round ever. You know what I mean?

Yes and no. I actually feel this isn't a bad year to be drafting in the middle of the first round. There are a lot of high upside forwards in this year's draft. The depth past the first round is quite ugly though.

The best drafting teams (Dallas, Washington, Carolina, St. Louis) have drafted for upside for years and it has worked out for them.

Those 4 teams to me draft using analytics quite a bit. We all know Carolina does and it shows.

I don't think this draft is 2012 bad. If 2012 is a 1 and 2015 is a 5 star draft. This draft is a 2 star draft Lol.

It's too late for a tank. Either playoffs or a mid teens pick. Just have to hope they make the right choice with the pick they have, or someone sneaks through that isn't a sea of red flags.

That is 100% correct it is too late to tank. But what’s worse now is most likely can’t make the playoffs now too…

We are the 2010-2020 Minnesota Wild.

Pius Suter the guy we should have traded at the deadline ruining our draft position in a lost season. Happens every single time.

Best case at this point is probably like 14th overall.

Should still be able to get Bear/Martin/Kindel

We are back in the Jet Black timeline after the bubble. Next year could be even worse than this depending on what we do in the summer.

Dollars to donuts the Canucks won't draft first round. Every year they try to trade their cow for a bag of magic beans. Worked one year with JT Miller, but then there is the Gudbransen and Oliver Ekman Larsen deals. Blah.

 

[Knight53]

It’s over thank god. Pius Suter can f*** right off.

Start shutting down players now for next year, especially Hughes and EP40.

The good news is we should lose 6/8 remaining games at least.

if we could drop a couple slots a snag brady martin, even better would be Jake O'Brien

I want O’Brien.

Someone of his ilk is sorely needed.

That is not the Canuck way. The Canuck way is to lose as many games as possible until mathematically eliminated, than win the rest of the meaningless games to decrease the draft odds. That is tradition.

Indeed. But I doubt he'll be on the board when we pick.

 

[Coffee]

Indeed. But I doubt he'll be on the board when we pick.

Unless we break tradition!
