2025 Draft Thread

[VanJack]

I know there's a chance the Canucks 2025 first rounder will be in play again, if they're hunting for playoff depth at the TDL. But really hoping it doesn't happen.

I don't know anything about the depth of the 2025 draft class, but if there's a good center on the board when the Canucks pick, they could use a lot more depth at that position in the organization.

Couldn’t find a discussion for this.

I don’t follow prospects at all but I went to a giants game a year ago and Schmidt stood out a lot. See he’s been dominant to start here.

He might slip to the second round due to his size and weight and might be in play but frankly I think he will be among the first 32 names called.

I do another Hronek like trade if possible.

What made this trade possible with Detroit was the additional first rounder they acquired from the Islanders in the Horvat deal.

Without that, it would have been their own first rounder in 2023, which turned out to be Tom Wilander. And Canuck fans would be seriously signing the blues.

Which blues players would we be signing? And why would the fans be signing them?

And I still object to signing rentals unless the team has had at least 2 winning seasons, and is in the top 8 at the deadline. I mean, a 3rd or a 4th, fine, but no 1st rounders and not one of the top 3 - 4 prospects. Fortunately Hronek turned out to be at the top end of the spectrum of expectations.

If one is in the top 8, a 1st rounder will almost for sure be well into the 20's of the 1st round. That I can live with, if you are getting a legitimate top player that you can afford.

Are people not aware of who owns this team

They’ve never thought past tomorrow

The 1st will be gone
