I’m curious what round Skin Tag Bertuzzi will be selected in.

[Chef Boi RD]

Not sure, Sportsnet put this out November 7th. I don't give those imbeciles at Sportsnet much stock I'm just providing a list of what names to expect to go in the 1st round. Dach right now is certainly ranked higher than Cozens. Newhook is too high, Byram and Broberg too low.

You'll probably like this Right Shot WHL D-man Korczakfor a 2nd round pick, Bubbles, he seems to enjoy scrapping. In fact has fought Byram. Did not know this about Byram but he has a chip on his shoulder as well, but he's a left shot D-man, too much of that shit going on right now in the organization. Draft Cozens if we are lucky to get in the top 6 or 7, convert him to right wing, he's played their before or left wingers Krebs or Boldy or right wingers Podkolzin or Kakko. You take one of Dach or Hughes if we land in the top 2, but could see the Canucks selecting one of Kakko or Podkolzin in the top 3 as they are natural right wingers. Trades will have to be made if we end up with Hughes or Dach. Hughes has to play in the top 2 with Pettersson, maybe you bump Horvat to 3rd line centre? Don't think he'd appreciate that. If you draft Dach I think with his size you'll see a slow development so you could park him on the 3rd line for a bit, trade Sutter and Gaudette.

Soderstrom seems be consistently the highest ranked right shot D-man. Seems to bounce around in that 15th to 30th area of all the lists out there. Might be someone to look at if we make playoffs and are drafting in that area. Remember the Pacific division is a joke right now, it won’t take much of a season to land in that 3rd overall qualifying position in the Pacific Division

I really like Byram's game, don't care if he's a LHD - can always trade one of the other guys to make room if you have to. Hughes can also play both sides so it's not as big an issue as it might be otherwise.

Dach I like though he needs to get faster - can't think of a 6'4" kid who has the leg muscle he needs at that age though, so it will happen. I like Cozens, I like Krebs as well. Haven't seen enough of the USNTDP this year but so far I really like Hughes (duh) and Zegras. Turcotte I haven't seen at all yet as he's been injured. Broberg doesn't seem to have the head for the game that's badly needed now, though again I've only seen him in the Hlinka. Don't know anything about the Russians and I haven't seen Newhook yet either.

[Chef Boi RD]

Yeah I think the left shot vs right shot D-man is is manageable but at the same cause headaches. The Canucks are awfully loaded on the left side though. I worry Byram is another Steve McCarthy type, great WHL’er but could flop in the bigs

I like Krebs, Boldy in that 8-12 slot. Both left wingers which we need. Krebs can play both wing and centre

Cozens could, maybe fall out of the top 5 and has played wing. I worry Dach is another Nolan Patrick WHL’er. The whole “big” centre thing doesn’t seem to hold much water these days but Dach will still go top 5

1. Hughes
2. Dach
3. Kakko
4. Podkolzin
5. Cozens

Jimbro Benning says Hi, Rats

But Blob don’t care, Elmer didn’t draft Tkachuk

It’s not your fault, Blob. It’s not your fault. - Good Will Hunting

[SKYO]

If we trade Edler for a 1st + whatever, we likely get a mid 1st (canucks) and a late 1st.

I'd take a dman Soderstrom and someone like N. Foote 6'3 LW, done dealy, lets start 2019/20 season.

[Chef Boi RD]

This 2019 draft lists are bouncing all over the map as the season moves. A couple of American prospects are rising well into the top 10 - Zegras and Boldy

Soderstrom seems to be the next ranked D-man after Byram

Canadians - Byram, Dach and Cozens are still hanging in the top 10, with Krebs, Lavoie, Suzuki and Newhook still hanging around just outside the top 10

The usual suspects in the top 3 - Hughes, Kakko and Podkolzin. I’m not a huge fan of this class but it would be nice to get one of Byram or Cozens (convert Cozens to the wing), or Boldy as he is a left winger. Just don’t see this team getting into the top 5. Pettersson has given this team some jam, still see lots of wins, especially with our conference being the dogs breakfast. Even the Flames and Sharks are beatable with a healthy Canucks line up

Turcotte, Zegras, Newhook, Suzuki not interested in as they are centres. I still take Dach even if he is s natural center or flip him to a team for a stud young D-man (Dobson?). Krebs seems to be completely converted from left wing to centre.

I predict the LA Kings will win the Hughes sweepstakes, that team is a tire fire

As someone mentioned early, Pacific Division is a joke an this team can squeak into the playoffs - if they are a sniff away a the end of Feb, Edler ain't waiving and the team isn't trading him - they probably sign him to an extension.

[Chef Boi RD]

Yeah and not only is the Pacific a joke it’s two best teams are beatable especially with Calgarys putrid goaltending. I would not count out a healthy Canuck line up
