I really hope you're right. If in fact Tkachuk is the real 'mckoy' as a first liner down the road, it'll be a reality that we will have to live with while hopefully being consoled by Juelevi's greatness! (I hope) :|

Juolevi, Sergachyov and Chychrun are "maybe" top pairing D men while PLD and Tkachuk are pretty much guaranteed first line players.

If we don't walk out of this draft with one of Dubois or Tkachuk this management regime will go down as the worse regime since the regime of the mid eighties Cam Neely trade era.
There is gold in them there Hills 8-)

Nice work on the archiving Puddles. Gold. Luckily Genius doesn't listen to the fanbase

Yeah they don’t need a guy like Tkachuk. We got Mackenzie Stewart coming

Re-visit based on NHL play

1. Matthews
2. Laine
3. McAvoy
4. Tkachuk
5. Dubois
6. Keller
7. Cholowski
8. Girard
9. DeBrincat
10. Sergachev
11. Chychrun
12. Jost

That’s pretty much it. The rest are filled with small cups of coffee splattered here and there b to no big affect and the rest still developing

Goes to show you that the book is still being written. The final draft for 2016 still not submitted. Far from it

Canucks wanted PLD. So did I.

I was yelling all sorts of Kekalainen at my TV when we lost out. We wanted centers and D, so with Jake and Brock, I guess you had to start getting some Dmen into your pool.

Like Button says, if you don't draft D, they're hard to acquire later.

Yeah, don't come at me with BPA or some wicked hindsight. McAvoy? C'mon. I've heard enough on this topic. It is what it is. Deal with it.

It’s too soon to judge the 2016 draft, but it’s not too soon to judge the 2017 draft :lol:

Put Pettersson in that generational category Bubbles, it’s clear he’s a superstar in the making. Bob McKenzie has always lamented that Patrick is not a dynamic player. He might be a Jordan Staal type at best

So it’s fine to write Pulujarvi off but it’s much too soon to write Olaf off?

I’m wondering if Pulujarvi is a power forward . I know Olaf plays D and according to some posters on this board always tell us those players (power forwards and D) take longer to develop. I mean why not beat a 50 year old cliche right into the ground?

If you guys are up for it I could produce a list of D and power forwards who were high picks like Olaf and who were impact players within a couple years of being drafted and completely destroy that myth
