2025 DRAFT Thread
- Thread starter Peen
- Start date
How long can the Canucks really avoid drafting centers? Pettersson last center they drafted in the top 2 rounds. 8 drafts between drafting centers is dumb. Need to draft a center that will play in the NHL even if it's just in the middle 6.
As much as the focus is and should be on the 15th pick, we really need to make the most of our second and 3rd rounders as well this year and target some boom but types in the alter rounds like Owen Griffin and a guy like the Vancouver Giants Aaron Obobaifo who will be under the radar after an injury shortened season.
drafting the best center prospect available at 15 should be the priority here and Cole Reschny is a guy they should be looking at.

Swedish twins in the same draft? Unheard of, gotta be the first of their kind
I wonder when they are projected to be drafted.

From where I can tell, late rounds at best. They have decent stats and size but aren’t ranked by NHL CSS. I’m hoping Elite Prospects has something on them in their draft guide.

could very well be. Point was like 5'10 and lacked foot speed at the time draft, and he still does today. but who knows. it also could be another Hunter Shinkaruk. Hopefully our scouts did their homework.
Brayden Point lacks foot speed? Really? Have you ever watched him play? He’s an awesome skater.

His draft year he had skating issues which is why he kinda dropped. Glad he fixed it.
Didn’t know that one. I also heard Ryan Murray also smoked a pack a day.
Not a top end speed guy but explosive when moving. Need's to work on his first two steps. That comes with gaining leg strength for a lot of juniors.
If Tocchet could just help out Van and ask for Garland and Danny gives up the 22nd and 48th pick in this draft for him.

Brayden point was always a great skater, he dropped because he was 5'9 160. I think you can probably point (haha) to him as the player who opened the door for players of a similar size getting drafted earlier.
Kindel's is a solid skater and he works hard at it. mechanically sound, he'll get faster as he gets stronger. I don't think he's as good as Point was in his draft year...but i also don't believe it's a weakness at all.
He's got good physical tools, high level hockey IQ....knows when to attack, how to attack, is an outstanding distributor with great hands and good shot. If he was 2 inches taller, he's probably a top 10 pick.
He's the type of player coaches will trust in any situation.
So Cootes and if he's gone then Kindel.
He (Point) was ranked 38th in ISS Hockey’s final rankings, and TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button had the skilled forward ranked 17th in his June rankings. - Another win for TSN director of Scouting Craig Button.
Point grew up in Calgary but admits that he didn’t grow up a Flames fan. Instead he says he grew up a Vancouver Canucks fan because of his favorite player Markus Naslund. Just like all players he’s not showing favorites on which team he hopes he gets drafted by, but says if it was the Canucks that would be special.
“I actually talked to them (the Canucks) at the combine. That was a cool experience for me, being a big fan of them growing up and then talking to them. It would be awesome if I was drafted by Vancouver, but I think any team would be pretty cool.”
WTF JIM!!!! NIKITA TRYAMKIN OVER BRAYDEN POINT IN 3RD ROUND!!!!!
