[ChilliBilly]

So who are people hoping for?

 

[Lindgren]

So who are people hoping for?

I'm hoping they trade the pick for Guy LaPointe.

 

[Bubbles]

So who are people hoping for?

Not to trade away any more picks.

I would like some WHL and BCHL picks too. But that's wishful thinking.

 

[AppleHoneySauce]

I am just hoping for stankoven so bad. I really really like him and his motor. However i have this sickening feeling that he will fall to us but benning will go off board for some 6'2+ D man and ignore stanky oven cause he is "to short".

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

So who are people hoping for?

I’m hoping for Scott Morrow. Then we can have a pairing of Rathbone and Morrow, also known as the “Bone-Morrow” pair.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

I want to draft at least one guy with a good hockey name. Riley Kidney is my personal fave, or Cameron Whynot because, well, why not?

 

[thefeebster]

Might even go Russian? Chibrikov, Kisakov or Plotapov.

But I did not see Pinelli falling out of the 1st. I thought he showed well at the U18s. Some really strange picks towards the end there, I did not really like Wyatt Johnston, Allan was meh. Mailloux an odd one. Not sure Stillman has the upside.

Heimosalmi would be interesting for D too.

 

[ahmon]

Sasha Pastujov, pick him. While Lucius was out he was heads and shoulders best forward at the US national dev team. Put up close to 1.5 ppg. This is a national team that play against ushl and even ncaa teams. That kind of production is no chopped liver.

Watch him play and you see he can shoot, pass and is good at winning puck battles all over the ice. Scouts say he can't skate, which make his production even more impressive. He's producing because he's smart/skilled. Once he gets stronger - he's one of the youngest prospect in the draft, July birthday, his skating will improve.

 

[AppleHoneySauce]

Honestly. Thinking about it know, but this draft is really showing me how important second rounders are. I would love to be able to grab a few of these guys. Allows so much more freedom.

really hoping we get a 2nd for Holtby, I feel like Schmidt for a 2nd would be a loss for us

obviously Holtby isn’t getting us a 2nd but ya never know

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Pinelli

 

[MS]

Stankoven is built like Debrincat and scores goals like Debrincat, but can also fly. Would love him at 40, but I'd be shocked if he was a player we had interest in.

 

[xtra]

I kinda want us to go all in and deal all those picks to move salary out

 

[DonnyNucker]

Stankoven is built like Debrincat and scores goals like Debrincat, but can also fly. Would love him at 40, but I'd be shocked if he was a player we had interest in.

Why? Benning clearly loves small players. He always targets little guys and it’s incredibly annoying.

 

[DFAC]

What time does this start?

 

[Phrasing]

Stankoven is built like Debrincat and scores goals like Debrincat, but can also fly. Would love him at 40, but I'd be shocked if he was a player we had interest in.

Would love him as well. I wonder if they have concerns about his defensive liability but with a kid that has his head for the game and competitiveness I can’t see why he can’t be coached into at least not being a liability and still be a major offensive threat. Would love him if he is still available. Also would love Morrow or Chibrikov among a few others.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

So who are people hoping for?

A whole bunch of good prospects available at the top. Stankoven and Morrow my top 2.

 

[wonton15]

Aatu Raty dropping to 41 would be pretty interesting but I bet he gets picked within the first 5 picks.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

What time does this start?

8 AM Pacific time

 

[WishfulThinker]

Still some talent on the board for the 2nd round. (In no particular order) Chibrikov, Stankoven, Morrow, Pinelli, Pastujov, Kirsanov, Kisakov, Svozil, Chayka, B Johnson

I personally think Stankoven has the game to overcome his size. Or maybe the Canucks finally get that All-star 2nd Rd defenseman that every other team seems to end up with but us.

 

[FireBenningNow]

Here's my list for round 2, some really interesting players available

1. Logan Stankoven
   
   
2. Scott Morrow
   
   
3. Nikita Chibrikov
   
   
4. Shai Buium
   
5. Jack Peart
   
6. Francesco Pinelli
   
7. Daniil Chayka
   
8. Samu Tuomaala
   
9. Anton Olsson
   

 

[HockeyNightInAsia]

Ville Koivunen

 

[Hooz]

Lots of good names mentioned already. I would also be happy with any of Heimosalmi, Tschigerl, Broz, and Peart.

 

[WonderTwinsUnite]

Stankoven is built like Debrincat and scores goals like Debrincat, but can also fly. Would love him at 40, but I'd be shocked if he was a player we had interest in.

I have a feeling Judd would have been all over him. Pettersson, Hoglander, Hughes all fall in that hyper-skilled, size-concern basket.
