2nd most valuble player in Canada?

2nd most valuble player in Canada?

If you mean valuable like actually more important to the Canucks than any non-McDavid player is to their respective Canadian team, I think that could be argued. If you mean valuable like how the MVP means most outstanding player, then not yet.

 

[ZEBROA]

Hmm no 5 point game, he must know we are on to him. EP you dont have to phone home, we dont care that you are from another planet. Keep calm and Alien.

I just mean like highest trade value.

 

[Flamesfan62]

I just mean like highest trade value.

Definitely not 2nd

 

[Arizonan God]

He’s not really a prospect anymore, is he?

 

[DFAC]

I just mean like highest trade value.

No but he is the second most valuable player to his team in Canada

 

[theslatcher]

No but he is the second most valuable player to his team in Canada

You could argue Price is, but out of all skaters he's probably the second most valuable player to his team not only in Canada, but in the NHL period.

 

[I am toxic]

Thread title should be Prometheus

 

[GetFocht]

11 points in his last 5 games

 

[Mathew Barzal]

Be careful what you wish for, ravenous Canucks fans will start creating more main board threads than they already do for attention if they don't have an outlet.

Chabot is also making a case for himself.

 

[theslatcher]

Chabot is also making a case for himself.

I'd say Stone is(probably best two-way winger in the league), but not really any gap between him, Chabot, & Duchene.

 

[EK47]

Maybe to his team, he pretty much carries Vancouvers offense.

 

[CP4]

2nd most valuble player in Canada?

Yes

Oh how i dream that Colorado drafted him.. Would have solved our 2nd Center for the next decade. Now we can only hope Makar lives up to his potential as I always thought he was a reach at #4 overall

 

[Son of Petter]

Funny thing is Benning wanted Makar over anyone in the draft.

Just trying to keep up with Toronto and their superstar this and superstar that.

Up to nearly as many as Barzal last season.

Pettersson and Boeser are some very nice players , if Vancouver keeps going like this , they could get another solid player in 2019 and start acquiring complimentary players to fill out the team.

I think we’re two top 10 picks away from being a playoff team. Assuming we can get an elite forward in the 2019 draft and then a top 4 dman in the 2020 draft, we should be set assuming our goalie prospects work out. Will definitely need to find another top 6 winger as well.

I'd be interested to read about this fact. Could you provide a link?

To 10 picks won't help you in the near future. The Canucks are many pieces away from being a playoff team, especially on defense. The current prospect pool is very thin as well, they need to sign a good goalie. Never count on a goalie prospect to pan out, they usually won't.

 

[Son of Petter]

There was lots of chatter about this, obviously there’s some speculation involved but he valued Makar very highly at the draft Draft notebook: If Makar was available, Canucks could have been sweating

It depends on how players like Hughes, Woo, Gaudette, Madden, Juolevi, Lind, and Rathbone turn out. If a couple of them turn into solid NHLers then we are looking pretty good. I think Hughes is a slam dunk to be a top 4 dman that can quarter back the PP. Gaudette has looked solid so far, and Madden, Woo, and Rathbone are all having good years as well.

Markstrom is a good enough goalie to make the playoffs with, he just won’t be a difference maker for the team.
