Gillis in 6 Canuck drafts his 2nd round hauls are/were - Rodin, Sauve and Mallet.

So you re-proved the point that Gillis sucked at drafting. I believe that has been proven many times before, but thanks again!!!

[Mickey107]

Lol you’ve proven my point again. Thanks for coming out helmet head. Only in Abbotsford can a guy make 10$ an hour and afford a shanty. Off to Vegas , I’ll be glad to continue this beating in a month

All debating aside, Have a blast man.

Speaking of 2nd rounders and good prospects... Kole Lind with 2 goals in the first period against the Russkies.

Bubbles you forgot one^^^

in a 7 -0 thrashing?

It means nothing.

Remember how we thought Cassels was going to make the big team, now he wont.

Never count the chickens until they are hatched.

Cassels' offensive production didn't climb to noticeable levels until after he was drafted. He was scouted for his 2-way abilities. He may still make it - he's been a late-bloomer in earlier stages - but the window of potential is starting to close.

Lind, on the other hand, has been putting up points in the Dub since before his draft year (41 pts in 70 games in 15-16). Nothing certain, but a far surer bet and reason to be optimistic about him as a prospect. A 7-0 game is nothing to truly gauge anything, but it's better than if he didn't score. Looking forward to WJHC camps coming up.

60/270

= 22%

How do you like those odds Blobert!

So 78% against.

LOL, even Fred understood.

Lets give 2nd and 3rd round picks 5 years to play 100 NHL games.

How many have made it to more than 100 since being drafted?

2012 Draft 2nd round 6 of 30 player, 20%
2012 Draft 3rd round 3 of 30 player, 10%

2011 Draft (Six years since being drafted) 2nd round 14 of 30 player, 47%.....13 of 30 haven't played 50 NHL games
2011 Draft (Six years since being drafted) 3rd round 7 of 30 player, 23%

2010 Draft (Seven years since being drafted) 2nd round 12 of 30 player, 40%.....15 of 30 haven't played 50 NHL games
2010 Draft (Seven years since being drafted) 3rd round 5 of 30 player, 17%

2009 Draft (Eight years since being drafted) 2nd round 12 of 30 player, 40%.....9 of 30 have played more than 200 NHL games
2009 Draft (Eight years since being drafted) 3rd round 8 of 30 player, 27%

2008 Draft (Nine years since being drafted) 2nd round 12 of 30 player, 40%.....7 of 30 have played more than 200 NHL games
2008 Draft (Nine years since being drafted) 3rd round 6 of 30 player, 20%

2007 Draft (Ten years since being drafted) 2nd round 7 of 30 player, 23%.....4 of 30 have played more than 200 NHL games
2007 Draft (Ten years since being drafted) 3rd round 6 of 30 player, 20%

2006 Draft (Eleven years since being drafted) 2nd round 13 of 30 player, 43%.....9 of 30 have played more than 200 NHL games
2006 Draft (Eleven years since being drafted) 3rd round 8 of 30 player, 27%

So you're looking at around a 40% chance of getting 100+ games out of a 2nd round pick and less than 30% chance of getting 200+ games.

From a third round, you're looking at 20% - 25% chance of getting 100+ games.

..... and since Bubbles loves his hind sight so much, 4th round draft pick Lynden Vey, with 100+ NHL games beat the odds against the 2nd round pick he was acquired for.

Drafted by the Kings in 2014 2nd round, Rowland McKeowan has a couple of years of development to go, but has one NHL game under his belt. That is one more than Canuck 2nd round pick that year, Thatcher Demko and 78 less than Canuck 3rd round pick the same year Nikita Tryamkin.

[Cornuck]

As much as I hate looking back, I will only consider one pick that we screwed up. If we had have selected Kopitar, our franchise would have its name on the Cup. Everything else seems like so much window dressing.

Take a page from Tom Brady - don't worry about the past, concentrate on the future. He doesn't even care about a past championship, his favourite one is the next one.

Future center core:

Pettersson
Horvat
Lind

Their names stacked form Voltron! - heck it even forms a superman shape!


With a healthy amount of scoring winger prospects for them work with, the challenge then becomes to find a top pairing QB guy, a future Letang, Keith, Doughty type. Juolevi is suggested to be a solid top pairing dmen - a Mr reliable if you will, but the team still needs a game changer scoring dman, a Boeser type on defense.

Bubbles is a baseball fan where 3/10 is a perfect score.

[Blob Mckenzie]

Lol anyone that would rather have Linden Vey than a 1/5 chance at an impact player is an idiot. Then again what would one expect from a turd that would lick Jim Bennings asshole dry and clean his rib cage with his tongue while he did it. Wash your beard

You can’t fix stupid :lol
