I wouldn't say that particular day but the days that follow.

why does every site list jordon schroeder height and weight different
5'8 175
5'9 180
????

Still growing? You don't really reach your height (on average) till you're 21.

He's in Toronto now. Right next to Brian Burke.

maybe 3 rookies playing next year

He's talking about the head scout (Ron Delorme) and no he's not fired. He is still with the Canucks in the same position.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

They should just follow Bob Mckenzie's order each year and they will be fine.

If they did that, they would've picked Kopitar over Bourdon. Kopitar was projected top 5. Bourdon was 15-20, 1st round.

In the other year Grabner was ranked as a 20-30 1st round pick. White was definately a 2nd rounder and he was picked 25th i believe before Perron who Mckenzie ranked as the one that Canucks shouldve picked based on who was left.

Canucks get value with their first round pick, some think they also got a star

It will take some time before we know if the Canucks got the next Patrick Kane or Martin St. Louis in Friday's NHL draft.
What we do know right now, is they got value.
Jordan Schroeder spiraled down the draft board to land in GM Mike Gillis's lap at No. 22. Schroeder came into the draft ranked fifth among North American skaters.
But teams clearly balked at his small (5-foot-8), and stocky (175-pounds) stature. Some scouts questioned his compete level, and labelled him a one-dimensional offensive player.

Instead of taking the speedy University of Minnesota forward, several teams chose to go off the board.
Not Gillis, who has made it clear he doesn't obsess about size. He's looking for smart 18-year-olds who can play. And Schroeder fits that bill.
So what did he get? Some think Gillis got a player with star potential.
E.J. McGuire, the NHL's top amateur scout, told reporters: Schroeder is "destined for stardom in the NHL."
As a freshman this year, playing against plenty of college kids five, six years older, Schroeder proved he can pick up the game quickly, totalling 45 points in 35 games.
Patrick White, who was the Canucks 2007 first rounder, played on the same team and had 16 points.
In years past, the Canucks reached for players like White and Michael Grabner in the first round. This time they got value at No. 22. Most people had Schroeder going in the top 15 picks. Some had him going in the top 10.
Coming into the draft, Schroeder said he's expecting to go back to university for another year.
But McGuire, the NHL's top amateur scout, told reporters before the draft that Schroeder might be able to make the leap.
"Another year (of college) wouldn't hurt him," McGuire said, "but right now he's as capable of contributing as was a (Sam) Gagner last year, a Patrick Kane -- those types of guys. He's right in that ballpark."
That seems unlikely because the Canucks have put significant money and time into player development. They would probably like to work with him for a year or two to prepare him for the transition to the NHL.

Philly seriously overpaid. Two first rounders, the prospect from last years 1st round + conditional 3rd round and lupul.

Crazy.

yeah philly overpaid but whatever hes out of our conference now, let him piss off other people. fucking patrick white, that shit gets me upset still. FUCK.

from what i recall, luc bourdon was a safe pick and thats what the canucks went with. they also were looking into the future because with defencemen like ohlund and salo aging. bourdon would have been the replacement needed. RIP :(

k so i was out when nucks drafted..

so Lu was at the podium? what other teams had a player there?

EDIT*

Luongo by himself

this is HUGE, like.. Luongo is up there by himself picking with Gillis at his hand like they are a pair

hes back for good.

8 mill for Lu....

kinda seems a little bit overpriced...

i know his presence makes a huge difference, but stilll.. 6.5mill should've been enough.

I dont think he will be getting 8mill for some reason.

wouldnt that be a pay decrease?

I just realized at 230am in the morning Lupul was traded twice for Pronger, and now he's gone full circle, back to Anaheim.

We also needed a (and still do) big centerman. At that time we were deep with Ds.

He was ranked #46 by bob mckenzie


Canucks had a 2nd round pick that year at 33 too. If Nonis wanted him that badly, he could've had him at 33 I'm sure. Perron was projected to go at #17 that year.

:)

I nearly SHAT myself but

Flames acquire rights to JayBo for rights to Leopold and 3rd rounder.



*Note: It is ONLY the RIGHTS and did not SIGN him.

canucks drafts Anton Rodin
detriot drafts tatar

hopefully we take a shot a toni rajala

6.5 mil would be but I think the OP was thinking about a hometown/cup contender discount.

Flames would probably need to shed some salary to be able to sign JayBo.

LOL What is Calgary thinking? They going to convince players on payroll to retire or something??? Shit they can't even afford Cammer, so how does JayBo fit in???

Calgary is of the retarded. What did you really expect from Sutter?

sedins for 5.25 y the hell not
