2025 DRAFT Thread

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Roger McQueen
Benjamin Kindel
Jake O’Brien
Ivan Ryabkin
Carter Bear
Brady Martin
Braeden Cootes

All centers (though Bear is more of a winger than a C). whoever is available when we pick, in that order is who I want. I personally would love Ryabkin.
Assuming that we aren't picking in the top 10 it's highly likely that both McQueen and O'Brien will be gone.

Bear most likely as well but he was injured so he might dip a bit.

I have zero interest in Ryabkin, let someone else take the risk on him.

The other 3 guys are good picks but I hope Martin is there for us.

The kid can really hit and he tilts the ice out there and has some untapped offensive potential.

The Canucks might also look at Jack Nesbitt a tall decent skating Center playing in Windsor.

Trade what.
They could trade one of their Dman prospects after they figure out which ones have the most trade value and how the team thinks that they fit in long term but I doubt they do this or that it would be a good value move.

That being said the Canucks really need potential top 6 centers and they should probably focus on those types this year and next where possible.

Can’t draft too many centers

I think if the pick is top 13-15 and they feel the draft drops off at 16 they will make the pick. Every other pick is up for grabs but I don’t think they will trade it in that position.

I actually like this draft at the top end more than last year. This depth is terrible but at the top the depth of talent is good even though it’s missing a sure fire star like the last two drafts.
 
As it should.
No way. I don't care if they're win now, they need to replenish their young talent at forward and the best way to do that is through the draft. You want to be competitive for Hughes but you also want to STAY competitive for Hughes.

I hope for once they don't treat their 1st rounder like a hot potato and they keep it for heavens sake. I'm so tired of being the most MID team that never has their first rounder. We are not contenders. We are not one piece away.
