Who can we get at 10th?

[Andrew]

Anyone think Carey Price will still be available?

Well according to John Muckler on the radio today, were gonna take him at 9.

[Score]

Lashoff maybe. Jim Lang of Sportsnet had a column about him and how he could be this drafts Gem Pick!

[Jill]

as i said in another forum I'd like to see Brule, Bobby Ryan (even though they'll probably go earlier) and Guillaume Latendresse (I know he's higher in ranks but maybe we we could catch him in a different round

as for Price, I'd like to get a well potential goalie but I'd prefer someone that could help us quicker, Goalies take longer to get to play at NHL level.

I really don't see us taking Price as we took Scheider in the first round last year.

I really don't see the point of us taking Cary Price, we already have some pretty good young goaltenders like Ray Emry, Billy Thompson and the guy that backstopped Canada to the World Jr. Gold Medal and CHL Goalie of the Year, Jeff Glass.

I say we try and get Gilbert Brule, Bobby Ryan if they are still available which they most likely won't be. If those 2 are gone like they are most likely to be, we should try and get Jack Skille. At 6'1" and 200lbs, he adds size to our team and we need a LW also. Or we can try and get Ryan O'Marra.

Brule won't drop to #9. Nor will Ryan.

Jack Skille is a guy that I want the Canucks to pick. He's an explosive winger with skill, speed and size. I hope the Sens do indeed choose Price so Skille drops to the #10 spot.

Other guys that the 'Nucks could grab are:
Bourret (very tough and skilled centre)
O'Marra (centre, has all the intangibles, good leader, the "safe pick")
Hanzal (big Czech forward, has potential)
Zagrapan (smooth skating centre with hands, grit is an issue)
Staal (Eric's brother, reliable all-around defenceman)
Bourdon (defenceman, has the size and skill but has iffy decision making skills)

I hope they go with a forward with high potential though.. I'm sick of seeing these safe picks.

is the USHSW an easy to get points in league or something cuz theres a couple guys ranked in the 30's that have impressive stats.

Me too I hope nonis is more of a risk taker than Burke

That's high school I believe.. So I'd imagine the competition isn't quite so tough.

Don't look at stats to determine how good a player is though.. Drafting like that could get you in a lot of trouble.
