    I haven’t been following the draft like some of you guys, but Desnoyers is projected to go at 5th, that would entail a trade with Nashville for a prospect and 15th. What are the thoughts on Malcolm Spence, bleacher report has him at 15?

    I haven’t seen him much but I do think Spence looks more like a 3rd line winger because his scoring upside is limited. I like his north/south style but I’d rather go in another direction at 15. Brady Martin is a late riser that I find intriguing, and he plays centre.

    Good job Golfing! Have you ever thought about writing Canucks blogs? 😉

    That pick is as good as gone IMO.

    I’m not sure they’re gonna keep the pick, but if they do, I’d like them to take a center who’s over six feet tall, can skate, and can pass the puck. They have to strengthen the center ice position within the organization.

    Agreed. As Load Management says McQueen would be great, if he somehow was available, but Jack Nesbitt is another player they need to consider.

    Hey guys. Good post Golfing. I’m thinking it’ll take one of our better D prospects and our first to move up. Crazy how quickly the gaping hole up the middle appeared in the lineup. I’m sorta luke warm on Desnoyers but you’ve seen him more, my choice would be McQueen.

    What now? Well, significant changes need to be made throughout the lineup if they are going to move forward and be competitive in the years to come. Demko needs to be traded. The defense is actually looking just ok, but you can’t now sacrifice what you’ve built on defense to strengthen the forward group because that’s a net sum zero move. Given the Canucks history they’ll flail around trying to get that 8th playoff spot and never really amount to anything.

    In hindsight, trading the 1st for Marcus Pettersson now seems foolish, in my opinion.

    I have several players in mind for the 1st, but honestly will just be happy if they make a selection with it.
    Hopefully some big changes coming up

    I am seriously interested in what it would take to trade up for Desnoyers. He lacks some explosiveness but he’s excellent on his own side of the red line.

    I think next year’s first might do it, which I would do.
