What pick do you think the canucks will have.
Because Soderstrom is projected to go top 10

I think Canucks will finish just outside of a playoff spot so about picks 10-14. We need some defence especially right handed ones, so I think a bold choice is Soderstrom

I like your outlook for the most part. I dont think we need to retain anything on Sutter with the cap going up. We would have to trade him before the deadline in that trade which is fine but we may want to keep him to push for the playoffs and definitely dont need to risk losing our 1st rounder. Id prefer to see Sutter traded for a 3rd or B level RhD prospect. Has Dahlen proven himself yet? I know Gaudette needs some more developing to get his 200ft game more polished but he is making strides.

Hello, I think you must be mistaken. I meant the team that Sutter was traded to will send over their 1st RD pick, not Canucks sending our 1st RD pick over. On the other hand, I think Dahlen has proven himself. Hes been doing quite well in AHL on an injury-riddled Comets team, but he seems to never have a down game from what ive seen. I agree, I want Sutter for a RHD prospect but i just dont see it happening. Gaudette has been improving game by game, and he should get a lot of playing time in Utica, and hopefully that can flourish his play and bring him back as 3C at the start of the 2019-2020 season

Agh gotcha skimmed over it too quick i guess. Dont think Sutters value is that high in a trade. Id say we could get a 2nd if multiple teams wanted him from us but if we are actively looking to trade him we'd probly get a 3rd at best. Really hope we can get Boeser signed below 7.5M but doesnt look likely with the way he is playing eh.. Dont think Demko gets that much but maýbe 2M per on his first NHL deal. Goldy and Leivo around Virtanen 1.3-1.5 and I like the Edler, Hutton deals.

Soderstrom is Ranked 25th in Sportsnets December Draft rankings. Where have you seen him ranked top 10?

I don’t want to draft Soderstrom and I’d bet that we’ll pick in the top ten. I really want to see us draft Zegras. Similar numbers to Hughes, but playing in the 2C role. In the long term, I think Pettersson should play left wing, and we’ll need a high end scoring center.

That is November. The guy is now ranked by freidman has 10th. And probably higher by others who had him 10-14.

Unless he drops draft day (unlikely because he is the top RHD) or he has a bad second half, you will need a top 10 pick.

No it was as of December 12th and I cant find any draft rankings online anywhere that has him ranked higher than 24.

I was watching a sportsnet central (or jets game intermission - cant remember) and during the intermission he named his top prospects for this upcoming draft. He named 10 and soderstrom was one. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't go top 10 but would love to get him with the jets' late pick if he falls that far

Dude. This is spot on to what I was thinking.
Love Virtanen, but hard to see him playing top line...maybe sharing it with Eriksson? Love that you traded Sutter. I don't think Dahlen has proven himself enough yet. You resigned Gaunce but where is Granlund?
I would have Motte play on the 4th line and Leivo move to the left of Petterson, Goldy to the 3rd line. We still have depth: Tanner Kero, Brendan Gaunce, Zach MacEwen and Reid Boucher are all thirsty to prove themselves and on a last leg.

Thank you very much! I find that having Virtanen playing with Horvat can prove to either be a good productive line or a good shutdown line, Eriksson is too slow to chase after pucks. I agree with Dahlen. He seems to be able to produce in the minors but it wont hurt by waiting a couple more years with him. I have re-signed Gaunce because he can be an effective 4th liner if the Canucks are riddled with injuries again, and he is a beast with Utica. Granlund is gone, cant produce, cant win FOs. After all these years, I still dont see what type of player Granlund can be for us. Yes i defintely agree with you on the depth, and Motte can play on 4th line to provide some energy for the big guns.
