Re: 2019 NHL ENTRY DRAFT - Vancouver
Would be nice to draft a local kid if hes the BPA although I cant see Cozens falling whatsoever. Some have him picked at 3rd even. Being from Whitehorse he would count as a local since this is 90% canucks fans, local games are canucks on tv.
Not sure about newhook but what i did read sounded real promising. Hes 5-11 i think which is big enough in todays NHL for top liners

Newhook is from the East Coast. Cozens is from the Yukon.

You’re right he’s from Cranbrook. I got confused by him playing Midget AAA in Lethbridge
OK, 1 kid from BC

Re: 2019 NHL ENTRY DRAFT - Vancouver
I'm not too fussed about local or not, though I do admit I tend to like Canadian kids more than other nationalities. I also like Swedish kids a lot as they seem to be very loyal.Uncle dans leg wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 2:11 pm Would be nice to draft a local kid if hes the BPA although I cant see Cozens falling whatsoever.

Newhook looks very good but I'd be interested to see what his upside is. Could be another Todd Marchant type with a ton of wheels and not much else, or he could turn into a poor man's McKinnon. Supposedly a very hard worker off the ice which is always a huge thing for me.
Too many players in the top 12-13 of this draft that I'd be fine with drafting, so whoever it is I'm good.

Re: 2019 NHL ENTRY DRAFT - Vancouver
Newhook scares me the most. I’d rather take the chance on the defencemen - Broberg, Soderstrom, Seider. I’d be taking Newhook between 15-20th, in that Suzuki area. To many better options at 10th than Newhook

Byram is from Cranbrook - he played his minor hockey in Alberta and moved to Lethbridge away from his family to be Coached by the Current Giants Coach, Mike Dyck.RoyalDude wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 7:36 pmHe’s from AlbertaBlob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 6:30 pmBowen ByramRoyalDude wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 6:25 pmNewhook is from the East Coast.

Re: 2019 NHL ENTRY DRAFT - Vancouver
I like Broberg and Soderstrom or Boldy. USNDP Coach just glowing over his top prospects on 1040 today. Looks like the best USNDP team ever assembled. I wonder if we will see some odd things happen in the top 10 and push talent down with teams reaching for position.
I love watching the draft - but I don't go with the notion you need to make a splash because its in Vancouver. Just make strong moves that work with the plan, I hope Jim does not feel pressured into taking a big gamble, gets fired and then we are further behind. I think with Hughes playing next year and generating excitement with the other young players it should be enough to keep fans interested.
This and a possible OJ debut and Demko growth.

I listened to Wroblewski on 1040 also. Pretty remarkable to have so many prospects from the program who might end up being picked in the top 10.DHA wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 8:15 pmI like Broberg and Soderstrom or Boldy.

Boldy sounds like he might be a version of Matthew Tkachuk, while the coach said Zegras might be even better than J. Hughes on the PP.
As I mentioned before, I think Soderstrom is a better overall Dman right now over Broberg and might also be better in the future. This is based on various scouting and from what I've watched on the interwebz. Here's a really good article comparing the two:

I'm just not sold on Broberg or Caulfield. They could have high ceilings, but the Bro's IQ and Caulfield's size makes me leery...

Zegras: Meeting with the Canucks was good. Really good guys - they asked what I knew about them. Obviously I've been watching Pettersson which was cool and trying to take things from his game.

Mmm, interesting.

Re: 2019 NHL ENTRY DRAFT - Vancouver
Zegras would be a fantastic add to the group we have....might even be able to step into the lineup next fall. Where is he ranked on the latest list?
