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

[Ainec]

Benning is elite at drafting. Have faith

never shown it

but I do know he botched our highest pick in years

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

Would Edmonton really take a dman? Of course they shouldn't, because you should always pick BPA. Is Chiarelli the type of GM to make that mistake? I don't know for sure, my sense is he would take bpa, which is Dubois or possibly Tkachuk. If we take whichever is left I'll be satisfied, I guess. The whole thing is trash and typical for this franchise, sadly.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

Mathew Tkachuk would still be one great get people, that guy has big time Star upside at LW. Should be him all the way. Also would like Chychrun, Dubois, even Juelevi.

 

[WTG]

Nolan Patrik next year pls.

 

[Nucky]

Canuck luck..we're cursed.

 

[CAPiTA]

Benning only likes the top 3 guys and Tkachuk, so we can only hope Edmonton drafts Chychrun and we have a shot a Tkachuk. You can choose to be depressed about typical Canucks luck, or you can make the best of this tire fire.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

Winnipeg so sickening. They had a good collection of players but just sucked. ****. I'm bummed.

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

my hopes weren't even up, the most probable thing happened to us. this team will be forever mediocre

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

The ONE silver lining about this is that Edmonton didn't win a spot either and they will probably draft a defenceman, which leaves us our choice of Dubois or Tkachuk.

 

[Grub]

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.

 

[Alexistheman]

So who is the projected first overall next year?

 

[Brock Boeser]

I hope Winnipeg takes Dubois, oil Chychrun, then we get finn.2

 

[M2Beezy]

Nolan Patrik next year pls.

Yeah i guess but it was suppose to be this year doesnt make sense its just not fair i cant believe it

 

[y2kcanucks]

Juolevi its a done deal. He is ranked 6th and we need a dman. Anyone who thinks we dont pick him is nuts

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.

 

[rune74]

I made a poll asking if the Canucks offered their first rounder this year in order to take Benning and his staff off our hands would you do it and the vote was overwhelmingly "no."

Their damage goes far, far beyond just this pick.

oh just stop.

 

[Cupless44]

Juolevi its a done deal. He is ranked 6th and we need a dman. Anyone who thinks we dont pick him is nuts

Disagree. The forwards are better players. Benning can draft.

 

[iFan]

Juolevi its a done deal. He is ranked 6th and we need a dman. Anyone who thinks we dont pick him is nuts

I agree it'll be Juolevi, nothing wrong with him but I'm pissed we lost out on a top 3 pick. Life as a Canuck fan.

 

[TraderJim]

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

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

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Dropped 2 sports. Such junk. This franchise on and off the ice is a bag of steaming crap and will be for who knows how long.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

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.

Actually Tkchuk is American

 

[Serac]

So who is the projected first overall next year?

Nolan Patrick

 

[Luongos Knob]

Canucks never get "sexy" talent in the draft

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

 

[NucksRuleYep]

So actually... canucks got screwed the worst of any team. Why??

Only three teams dropped spots

Calgary dropped 1 spot
Vancouver and Edmonton dropped 2 spots

But i doubt edmonton gives.a crap. They already got mcjesus. So vancouver is.the.only team that dropped 2.spots.that actually cares

So yes... we truly.did lose.out big.time

 

[NoRaise4Brackett]

So we didn't get 6th??!!

Sorry, I was saving JCVD for spots 1-3, but Canucks...

 

[WinterEmpire]

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

1. Life isn't fair
2. 5th place was the Canucks most likely spot to pick given percentages
