There is only one worthwhile draft pick this year: Rutger McGroarty.

Also thanks again for throwing a second round pick this year into that absolute train wreck of an OEL trade Jimbo. Miss ya bud.

please do not trade for jt miller

Counterpoint: please do and include Jersey's 2023 first.

Seriously though, he's really good and would be terrific for a team like Jersey.

The "will Wright go #1?" stuff is just drumming up interest in a pretty drab draft. They do this every year.

Hopefully some fun trades will make up for what should be a pretty lacklustre first round.

I got beaten to the punch on the draft thread this year but I was gonna make the op just this gif

Why is the draft Thursday/Friday instead of Friday/Saturday like every other year

Because it's being shown on ESPN and Friday is a terrible night for television.

What excuse are we gonna get for there being no real trades tomorrow? Cap uncertainty is out the window, can they work supply chain issues in somehow?

It's draft day! Time for GMs to drag their feet about doing anything until they're all forced to be gathered on the draft floor at 5pm.

Two near busts for the second overall pick? Sounds like a deal to me! Great thinking Larry.

It's clear they intended these scheduled media availabilities this morning to talk about the Miller trade and suddenly had nothing to say.

In 2007 the Canucks had 6 picks including 25th and 33rd overall and managed a grand total of zero NHL games from it.

I quickly scanned each team’s draft picks, so I may have missed something like this. I am impressed by how they managed to do that!

Not only did they manage 0 NHL games, those guys reached a combined 89 AHL games. None of them played a full season at the AHL level. Their first round pick (Patrick White) was traded to San Jose just so they could make no attempt to resign him and get a compensatory 2nd round pick.

In 2010 the Canucks had no selections until the 4th and managed 1 NHL game (from Alex Friesen playing for St. Louis) from five selections.

In 2016 the Canucks had six picks including 5th overall and they've played a combined 56 games. Juolevi will probably go back to Europe this summer and Lockwood might get a spot as the Canuck's 14th forward this year.

In 2020 the Canucks didn't have any picks until the 3rd round but none of their 5 selections from that season are expected to be signed just two years later.

In 2021 the Canucks had six picks with their first in the 2nd round. It's very early but aside from Danila Klimovich taken 41st overall, the remaining 5 selections are not expected to be signed just one year later.

The Canucks rule.

We got six years of OEL from it so who's to say if it was bad?

klimovich was a frequent scratch in the ahl. he's a longshot too

He was at least signed though. With regards to his development, he was an 18 year old in the AHL and stayed in the lineup most of the year. He's not likely to be anyone of consequence at the NHL level, but he's trending as well as can be expected given his draft position. He'll be back in the AHL this coming season and where he goes from there is anyone's guess. He's certainly not trending to be a bust quite yet. I still have no idea why they didn't send him to the QMJHL though.
