Where you getting this info from?

Bob's list, analytics, lots of other places. Shane Malloy had a lot info on how teams view BPA and such. Doerrie has spilled a lot of beans on how teams categorize prospects as well.

Scouts will be the ones to judge whether they think the "impact" player is either gonna boom or bust.

Lekkerimaki probably was a bust to many teams but a boom to the Canucks scouts No other reason why they would have him at 7 then on their own lists.

Clearly the record keeper has to do everything.

Next years draft is looking much stronger for defenders.

I wouldn't go all out of defenders in this draft.

In this draft depending on your teams scouts, probably between that 16-28 range. Has the make up of a "top 4" defender. Meaning more likely a 2nd pairing defender.

Maybe 14-28

Perfect should fall into that range with VAN's playoff push!

Someone told me at Young Stars once they didn't think the Canuck's had enough scouts "patrolling the BCHL" which is a shame.

I'm just using the Vee's as an example, there's always lots of scouts in town during the BCHL season, I know there's always a few from Minnesota in around.

You don't really need to waste too many scouts time.

Ya, the resources would be better used in some obscure place in Finland and Sweden.

Just the NHL players the Vee's produced is amazing.

After the draft lottery, I don't expect the Canucks will have a 1st round pick.

This filling in of the age-gap is going to be an on-going issue, for another decade, if they keep up what they have been doing.

I have the same feeling, which would really suck with no 2nd this year either.

That's when I get the mall cop to ban me.

The never-ending saga of age-gap filling will continue in this organization. Ffs.

I won't be far behind if not sooner. Did anyone join that group you posted?

Drags has been the best draft eligible Dman I've watched in the W. this year. Buttery smooth, just needs a bit of work laterally. Good passer and nice vision.

What about this guy?

So, they won't have a problem down the road because of all the 1st and 2nds that have been handed out like candy?
