What would be your top 5 drafts?

BTW, not saying I think this is one of the best Canucks drafts either. After Petey only Rathbone is looking like a NHLer right now.

Looking at the all-time Canucks draft... it is SO bad, is there even a top 5? Honestly?

Also, what is the criteria? Games played in a Canucks uniform or total NHL games?

I might go with 1978 as my top #1, followed by 2004.

1999 is the best draft, 1978, 1979 top 3

1983, 1985, 1992 were solid drafts

I think criteria would be NHL games played. Guys like Neely, Larionov, Vaive, Derlago etc were good picks even though they were given away.

1999 is the best draft, 1978, 1979 top 3.
^ I wouldn't argue with this. 1979 was also very good.

Clearly 1999 was the most historically significant draft for this franchise, but I also look at how it was the worst draft in NHL history. Sure didn't look like it would pan out for us in the first 4-5 years. And being a Sedin fan from day 1, I didn't want to sound too biased either. Quality-wise, definitely the best.

Also, I based my selections on the total picks from that year that benefitted the Canucks the most and not for other teams.

This makes me quite sad.

Actually, from 1977-1981 was a very decent period for this franchise.

Well in fairness, if they get 3 solid NHLers out of 1 draft, that is pretty good, right?
