The vast majority of Canucks fans including myself were happy and thrilled with the Pettersson pick.

Vilardi would have been an outstanding rookie too if not for his devastating back injuries.

But let’s collect hot takes from a few ignorant fans and make it look like he was some magical gem that Benning conjured up.

Most people wanted Glass or Vilardi although yes you’re right that most people weren’t upset with us selecting EP. Just not the first choice for most people.
 
I wanted vilardi, but pettersson was my next pick 100% over glass. I always thought they were going after Necas for some reason
 
Glass is also looking great with over a 2 PPG production this year in Juniors.

Weak draft they said LOL
 
Glass is currently just under 2PPG av actually.

And I like him, believe in him, would lean toward him becoming a productive NHLer than not, but generally a 4th year overager ripping apart one of the junior leagues is no guarantee.

I’d be more impressed with a 19 yr old on the NHL with 5 pts than a 19 yr old in junior with 64 in 34 games.

I have a short list of posters to pay attention to and if you look at the concentration of those that actually watch prospects opposed to parrot what they hear, it was slight majority favoring Glass with a handful adamant about Pettersson, and a seemingly equal split on for and against Vilardi, almost both sides equally passionate about staying away from or picking.

I wanted Pettersson, so I'm no clown. (Is that how this works?)
 
He's a clown. He made a comparison of Lind being on par with Glass based on a small sample size of draft + 1 year seasons, amongst many other erroneous posts.

Nothing wrong with what I'm doin. I just posted Linds and Glass stats at the December mark last season. It was similar. calm your high horses down 50 shades of Grey.



But.... You're a HFboard member. o_O

it's mere generalizing. Just like every Canuck fan on the planet knows hfboards Canuck sub forum users are the most toxic on the planet, doesn't mean all of them are like that.
