Post-Game Talk: Canucks to select 5th Overall in 2016 Draft (MOD WARNING - POST 868)

[Mr Plow]

so basically vancouver tanked for NOTHING! what a joke. waste. hoping for top 3. watch benning mess it up

We didn't even tank. We didn't sell off assets, our goal the entire year was to make the playoffs. We tried to be competitive and the team that sold everyone off and iced compete crap on purpose was rewarded. The system is broken.

 

[M2Beezy]

I'll be sick if we waste the pick on him.

Dubois or Tkachuk. If we go Chychrun I'll be happy too. Anyone else I'll be livid.

Chych is 2nd round hes junk no way if we take him thats it that would be to much

 

[Jay Cee]

I agree, I don't know about the last part but I just knew nothing good was coming from this lottery.

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

Meh, 5th was our highest probability spot.

Edmonton getting 4th makes me feel ok about it.

**** the leafs though. Blatantly tried to lose all season and gets rewarded. The lottery has failed.

 

[Pip]

overblown level 9000

Nope

 

[rune74]

We didn't tank. Toronto tanked and they got #1.

They got rewarded for trying to lose. What a broken system.

 

[Catamarca Livin]

Seems like this draft has 5 above the rest Thachuk or Debois would be a good addition. Sucks Toronto won now I will need to hear their great rebuild when a big part is luck.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

This is all just so unfair it shouldnt of happend like this ITS NOT FAIR

Why do you keep going on about fairness? There is no such thing as fair or unfair in a lottery. Besides, the statistical probability is what ended up happening.

 

[go comets]

Deep draft, canucks will get a solid player......

 

[Westcoastsniper]

Lmao, I see similar reactions to when Benning drafted Boeser. The way I see it, one of Dubois, Tkachuk, or Juolevi will be a good addition to the young up and coming core for Vancouver.

 

[WinterEmpire]

Canucks never get "sexy" talent in the draft

(except bure who was only picked because of questions regarding his eligibility)

Nedved?

 

[RandV]

who cares



exactly this... ****ing pathetic

It also means in the next few years if we're finishing in the 5-14 spot we'll keep getting shots at the top 3.

 

[Knight53]

So ****ing chocked the Jets get Laine, already have a great young core

Ehlers, Connor and Laine 3 years in a row yeeesssh

 

[Serac]

Chych is 2nd round hes junk no way if we take him thats it that would be to much

Chychrun confirmed elite #1 defenceman talent

 

[M2Beezy]

This the definition of unfair what happend we were suppose to get 1st

 

[a Fool]

Better luck next year.

Hopefully the Oilers take a D and we get Dubois.

 

[Grub]

Yep exactly, imagine our thoughts right now if we were in Winnipeg's position.

 

[Rex Banner]

5th (Dubois)


9th
Juulsen
our 5th round pick back

Take whichever Dman is still available.

 

[Interior Cascadian]

that 3 win streak, their "pride" such idiotic attempt at california teams winning when they have not won 3 straight games all year cost them the 5th overall pick.

i guarantee if they lost all 3 games, we wouldve been top 3 easily.

god dammit canucks, you pissed me off.

No, you can't. Do you understand what statistical probability means?

 

[thepuckmonster]

I think Dubois and Thachuk is going to surprise many people here. They are the top ranked Canadians for this year and have been over analyzed to death.

Don't feel bad guys we were also only 2-4 points away from the fourth and fifth teams anyways. Lets' draft the best Canadian in this draft and see how it goes, this is a very deep draft.

Tkachuk is American

 

[y2kcanucks]

Chych is 2nd round hes junk no way if we take him thats it that would be to much

Says the guy who guaranteed we would pick 1. What happened to that?

Chychrun is the best defenseman in the draft.

 

[geebaan]

They got rewarded for trying to lose. What a broken system.

Or they played the game PERFECTLY, and made our management team look like MORONS in comparison. They are set up handsomely for the future now, while we fight over crumbs.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Selecting 5th hopefully means we get someone who doesn't make the team next year, we suck again and this management group is canned.

Now I fear they do something stupid in FA.

 

[Nucky]

Really don't think that the people high on Chychrun have seen him play enough. If he wasn't a big name heading into this year, I don't think anyone would even consider him at 5.

 

[EpochLink]

Dubois or Tkachuk for me.
Homer pick is Tkachuk cause his dad played for the original Jets.
