Kailer Yamamoto is probably gonna be the steal of the draft at 23rd or some poo poo because teams are really bad at drafting skilled young forwards.

Also just to get it out of the way, gently caress the Edmonton Oilers for stinking up the draft lottery so bad they ruined it just in time for my team to be terrible and need the lottery.

Didn't some dude do a study and find that the Canucks would have been better off over a few years if they'd drafted purely by guys who scored lots of points versus whatever dumb strategy they actually did?

What I'm saying is small dudes who score points probably are worth the gamble

Canucksarmy is a good website and like, half of the people who've written for it are employed by the Florida Panthers now

You mean besides their mediocre rear end draft years I guess?

Liljegren had Mono to start the season and was a first overall candidate before then. I think it's fair to say he wasn't playing at his actual skill level when he came back.

Makar is the "swing for the fences" pick in this draft, for sure. I don't think he makes it to Vancouver.
