If Vancouver drafts another lazy Swede, I'm burning all my Canucks gear 😮😂😅😊
Wait, so you’re saying Hirose isn’t going to be a 1/2 D man like half the fans online told me!?!?
Hronek for Iginla plus
Hip surgeries? At 18
Only three will be in NHL lieups in 2026/27. I think Ried is one of them. Verhoeff I think could be second. Third I do not know. Rest in Juniors or AHL. Nolan Dupont from Vernon BCHL could maske the NHL team same goes for Deagon MCMillan. These two guys are better than any guy in 7 RD.
So is this list heavily weighted towards who is closer to being NHL ready? Because it seems like there are a lot of names lower on this list than players in the same system, where other lists would have those prospects completely reversed. The best example being Seattle’s Julius Miettinen vs Jake O’Brien. I don’t think there’s a single other person who has Miettinen as even one of the top 5 Kraken prospects, let alone higher ranked than O’Brien, their top-ranked prospect and first round prospect from this past season. So I’m a little confused how these rankings work. How could a player most other outlets would have somewhere between 6-9 for SEA be their top ranked prospect here?
a lot of Canuck fans have lowered their expectations with prospects. Its just the "We cant have nice things mentality" with Pettersson struggling, Hughes leaving, Lekkermaki, mr.sharpshooter out for the season, expectations have lowered. I'm hoping an, Anthony Cirelli type for Braeden Cootes, reliable 2 way center that can put up 50+ points, for us, is good. Most of us will be happy.
Sam Bennett was clueless! He took bad penalties, turned over the puck constantly and looked lost out on the ice. He needed a trade and a change of scenery to finally live up to expectations.
We gave up Podkolzin for a 4th. He literally had the best shot on the team according to both boeser and miller.
The amount of criticism he took in Vancouver and Canucks fans who don’t think he’d be anything without Mcdavid and Drai are ridiculous. He openly was always going to take longer to develop due to his play style and would easily be one of the best players on this team right now, and perfect to build with.
He’s a Skilled, physical russian who was at one point a projected 1st overall/ top 3 pick that fell.
We pretty much traded a 22 year old power forward with huge potential for Evander Kane. Ridiculous.
Manchini is a Ahl/Nhl tweener.
Rutherford and Allvin DON'T DESERVE the chance to get lucky with a draft lottery and a couple of great picks over the next few years! They took a Division winning team, and destroyed it in less than two seasons, GUTTING it to a 32nd place record… GET THE F OUTTA TOWN, is this fan's opinion.
