I think we need to pump the brakes a bit here. At one time Rathbone and a few others were all considered as solid bets as well.I could actually see all these guys one day playing in the NHL. When was the last time the Canucks had for d-men in the system who were legitimate NHL prospects?
You probably have to back to the Burke-Nonis era when guys like Edler, Bieksa and Tanev were playing for the Manitoba Moose.
Try to keep up. Tanev was a Gillis signing. And Edler and Kevin didn't play together in Manitoba other than a handful of games maybe after Edler's junior season was done, if at all. Just throw enough shit against the wall and hope some of it sticks I guess.I could actually see all these guys one day playing in the NHL.

Holy reactionary pile on for VJ...
Yah VJ might be a little optimistic but look at the coaching that is in place, the orgs willingness to let new players gain experience between levels and add that this mgmt team has shown they can pick our diamonds in the rough.
The current group has a lot of potential for different reasons than the previous bumpercrop of NHL D from past eras but the optimism is founded from actual results and trends.
Foote, Gonch, Sedins, Malhotra, Komisarik and a bunch more INTELLIGENT Ex-NHLers are putting this group way ahead of similar groups of prospects from the past.
. . .
But when was the last time the Canucks added three highly-coveted players like McWard, Hirose and Sasson at the end of any NCAA season? Certainly never happened with Benning.
Perhaps but I hope that you are wrong because that would mean that another prospect is also developing very nicely as I think Mynio is given his draft spot.Mynio is not only a legitimate prospect, he should be only behind Willander and Lekkerimaki in the rankings.
