Thanks, I'm getting a kick out of it myself

Agreed. It's highly highly highly unlikely we ever see that lineup, but it gives us something to get excited about at least. A far cry from the days of Nathan Barrett and Jesse Schultz.
Where? I'd like to see a copy.

McNally at 26th? Available on our first pick, taken with our first pick.
My point isn't that the Canucks are a great drafting team. My point is that the Canucks have a ranking of players, and whoever is on top of that list is "BPA" according to the Canucks. So, in a way, the Canucks have drafted "BPA" with every one of their picks.
Huh, Interesting. I suppose had the Canucks kept their 1st rounder, they would've drafted Jon Merrill? They have Visetin ranked higher, but the way the goaltending situation was/is It's doubtful Gillis would have selected him in the first, right?
How's Merrill projecting these days anyways? He seems to have missed some time in college, but had a pretty good stint with the Devils' AHL affiliate at the end of this year.
(it's fun to play "what if" sometimes)
Kuznetsov was the highest ranked player on their list when they decided to move the pick.Huh, Interesting. I suppose had the Canucks kept their 1st rounder, they would've drafted Jon Merrill?

So if Horvat's nickname is BoHo, do we start calling Shinkaruk "Hush"?
Kuznetsov was the highest ranked player on their list when they decided to move the pick.
He is seen as one of the Devils top prospects, in a deep D pool for them. Not bad at all.
As of May 22, he was considered the Devils' top prospect on Hockey's Future. Damn, he sounds like a stud. Adding him to our prospect pool now would make it pretty awesome (not that it would have worked that way, that cap space would've still been spent on someone and that player could have cost assets including prospects and picks).
Actually, Mark Visentin was.

Played while both Horvat and Shinkaruk got drafted.
I found these two to be especially pertinent given what transpired at the draft:
and
We seem to have gotten more...
Is it off topic though....weren't we using that for a goal song this year?
no they used that song, around 59 secondsThought that was another black keys song?
