Sorry but you started saying that well over a year ago. It's down to 9-18 months now.Strangelove wrote:Try to focus on 2-3 years from now.

What difference does it make, you two will be on a fucking Golden Knights messageboard by then.

You go IN
As has been said many times: rebuilding is not just getting a 1st overall pick, it's getting lots of picks, regardless of position, and stockpiling young assets.
Rebuilding =/= tanking.

Re: Prediction for Draft Spot - 2017 - with Poll
Which four will go first?
Who makes sense now? Rasmussen? Mittelstadt? Makar?
Very disappointed we didn't get 1st or 2nd.
I think next year the Canucks will be better and they'll do worse in the draft.
Time for some trades.
What does next year's draft look like? Maybe even with a lower chance we can luck out?

We have to be bad to keep the top 5 picks rolling plus trading Vets for youth.
We gonna get it done! Woohoo!! CUP IN 2021!!

Apparently 2018 features better blueline prospects and an overall stronger 1st round - which means the Canucks will pick 15th with no hopes of drafting any kind of impact player.griz wrote:What does next year's draft look like? Maybe even with a lower chance we can luck out?

Well they might be the better team by then...
Re: Prediction for Draft Spot - 2017 - with Poll
You never know. Who could have guessed the Canucks would pick where they did they past two seasons? Maybe we can get a good pick next year despite our odds? Pigs will fly eventually right?Lancer wrote:Apparently 2018 features better blueline prospects and an overall stronger 1st round - which means the Canucks will pick 15th with no hopes of drafting any kind of impact player.griz wrote:What does next year's draft look like?

However, if Makar is anything like Erik Karlsson (as Button suggests) we could have our impact player already. I think we're going to wind up with a very good player THIS year despite being 5th.

It's a terrible team , not sure why you are so shocked with their draft position the last two seasons. Or maybe you thought winning four in a row with out ever leading the games was sustainable.

We could use any of Makar, Glass, Mittlestat, Villardi or Heiskanen.griz wrote: However, if Makar is anything like Erik Karlsson (as Button suggests) we could have our impact player already. I think we're going to wind up with a very good player THIS year despite being 5th.
How about the Flyers? 7 points out of the playoffs and had a 2.5% chance to draft 2nd overall. Could have 12 picks in the draft, including 2nd overall...
