Who do we draft? (Poll)

Post by Cornuck »

With the draft lottery coming up, and eventually the draft. I thought we could get a poll going.

Where does our first pick land? And who do we pick with it?

Third, because those are the highest odds.

Yep - add that to the usual Canuck Luck, and it will be tough even for Doc to pull this one off.

No way, men! It may be debatable positive shite, but this is our episode of the New Hope.

How many times can The Empire Strikes Out? Ok, don't answer that.

TFGs will rebuild the Death Star for Emperor (un)Palatable to continue his assault on the rebellious alliance of fans.

Yup. We got this.

May the 4th, shit, 5th horse man be with you.

Canuck luck says 3.

But I have an odd feeling we may win this one!

Could be indigestion from some shitty coffee though.

Only time will tell.

None of the above.

The Canucks are so bad that they drop more spots than the rules allow. :drink:

Is this some new DEI/identity politics, sort of trick poll?

Are numbers identifying as Who now?????

I don't want to jinx anything, so I won't submit the poll; however, I already chatted about who I would like, so... I think getting G.McKenna would be great. Maybe he won't be elite like a Kucherov/Patty Kane, but if he can become a T.Hall or K.Conner, I think that's still pretty good. If not McKenna, then if our scouting staff think K.Verhoeff can become like a S.Weber, he'd be a guy we would have to take. With those later picks, would be great if we can get those Ruck twins/bros.

One reason I'm really glad that JR is sticking around till atleast the draft is I really like what Todd Harvey & his staff have done with our picks so far. He never had a high pick, but seemed to get a potential NHL player in just about every draft. He has 4 drafts under his belt and I don't think there's a clear cut bust just yet. Still early, so we shall see. I woudn't say he's JB's lvl, but he seems to have a good eye for talent. I'm really curious who/what we'll get this year, as he has a top pick for the first time and 5 picks in the first 3 rounds. Most GMs like to bring in their own ppl, so I hope they keep Todd Harvey around at least in the near future.

They’ll pick 5th
They’ll trade their 3rd to NYR for the 5th (Carels) and 29thish (Dagenais)

This poll is really confusing me in context of the discussion.
