I was pissed when they drafted petty because I think lisa Anderson was ranked ahead of him. Everyone else wanted cody glass but I didn't see much in him

Me too ahaha. I was expecting Glass or Vilardi, nobody really had Petey on their radar. Benning knew it too, as he was trying hard to trade down and still draft him

@@RobTalksHockey maybe he just knows more than everyone cuz ppl thought juolevi was a good pick. At least I did. And people weren't so sure about boeser and pettey

Benning said he would’ve taken Petey regardless of where they were picking if he was on the board and it was their pick he was a Canuck

Kieran Williams same thing with me and the leafs with marner i was praying that we would draft dylan strome... god we didn’t

id love to be a canucks fan right now

@@kianruda3292 I still have my doubts about Pod... I'm not going to buy in until he starts playing in North America. The Canucks have had rotten luck with Russian draft picks since Pavel Bure. Name a significant Russian player drafted by Vancouver after Bure. I'm actually curious...

@@MrPeabody67 And Bure turned out to be a bit of a headache even after we tore up his contract. They don't do that anymore. Overall, if there is a coin toss between a Russian or someone else I'd take the someone else.

Its literally always Gradin. The idea that Benning is some sort of genius in picking Petersson is absurd. Especially when he is decidedly the opposite of a genius when it comes to making trades. Give him credit for signing off on it.

@@tylerbruce5731 Never watch the canucks, but would that guy make a good benning replacement?

@@czarii2422 dont know. GMing entails lots of different tasks/jobs. Gradin has always been good at scouting Sweden. Red Wings also have someone in Sweden whos quite good. This gives them a leg up on other teams that either dont have a presence or not as competent of a presence.

@@tylerbruce5731 Interesting. im just a lowly bruins fan who didnt know about what he actually does in the organization. Our Czech scouts have been great at scouting guys like pasta and krejci, so every team has its strengths.

Benning is known for his scouting ability. That was the main thing we were all told when he signed him, so to say he had nothing to do with picking him is quite absurd. He knows what is going on when it comes to the draft. And he has made some very good trades as well.

I think it would go Heiskanen, EP, then Makar reasoning is that a franchise dman is hard to come by and Heiskanen fits that description, then EP just cause he’s a 1C

TheDirtyDizzler you obviously don’t watch the Avalanche

sweetie lune I don’t, COL is hardly shown in Van but Makar passes the looking test but Heiskanen and Hughes are already better two way defenders if you look at the advanced stats

Petterson first ffs

I agree. Just like Stephen Curry in the NBA, what he lacks in size he makes up in masterful skill and talent

Until Matheson throws him into the ice 😑

lol how'd you come to that conclusion? Hischier's good but Pettersson's way better. You'd be crazy to pass on Pettersson (or Makar) for Nico in a re-draft.

@@marcol9936 says you. That's an opinion bud. My opinion is they made the right choice for them. Hischier is turning into a top two way center. That's how he plays the game. Durable, smart, team first guy with great leadership. When Green retires after this season the C is going to Nico and he is personifies what it is to be a NJ Devil.

@@Acolonnelli71 you want me to support my opinion with objective data? Sure. Both regular stats and advanced stats back up my opinion. This season... Pettersson: 41 points in 40 games +9.3 CF% Rel 56.68 xGF% +13.9 GAR +2.4 WAR Hischier: 23 points in 34 games +2.52 CF% Rel 51.4 xGF% +5.2 GAR +0.9 WAR Both good players, but Pettersson is significantly better. Now let's see you objectively back up your opinion, other than saying "he personifies what it's like to be a Devil." That's not a reason at all.

Marco L the only thing to say is the devils are second last so

Marco L also oddly enough the teams overall corsi stats were boosted decently after hall was traded, guys stepped up including hischier who wasn’t playing to his true potential with hall

Cale is an absolute stud!

Imagine if your 1 - 2 punch down the middle was Mackinnon and Pettersson. Maybe not quite on the level of Crosby and Malkin, but not super far off...

Yea

Yeah, but the Canucks will never get to draft like Colorado. 50 years, still haven't had a first overall, except for the one they traded for to flip to Atlanta for the Sedins. Colorado gets MacKinnon, Makar and now Byram? Lucky, I guess.

Not sure! Received it for Christmas, but it was from somewhere in Vancouver!

@@Imtotallydiggingthis - you are correct. Nevertheless, I would like to see a defender being picked first! It would take a lot of guts from an organization or a clear superiority for a defender to be picked #1. Out of the last 20 drafts - 15 #1 were forwards, 3 defenders and two goalies. Ice hockey is about people, their skills, their talents and most of all character. You draft for character and attitude and you practice for skills. But since it is about people - it is always about soft factors. This means it is kind of a lottery - while a lottery you can do a lot of research about in advance. And still you can't take out the factors which are out of your control (injuries etc.(one bad hit and your #1 pick goes down the toilet)).

@@Imtotallydiggingthis Good point about defenders developing later... The draft is one thing - what an organization makes out of it is a whole different story! I have several friends who used to play in the NHL - even with some rings and so. And all tell me that it is always discipline over talent. There is no chance you are going anywhere without the highest level of discipline. You might get in there - but you won't last. Daigle is an unfortunate case of "being told he is the greatest" - so he started to believe the gospel and stopped working hard and developing. The tricks which work in lower leagues might not work against a 6.3 foot, 220 pound defender... on top, the goalies are so much better in NHL levels. Modern hockey has, unfortunately, become a bit boring - too much system and very little room for creativity. Many coaches are overcoaching their teams because they need success. Because if they don't have success, they won't keep a job for long. And this is why they all try to keep the puck out of the goal - which is much easier than to put it into the goal. Professional teams have analysts for everything - the player has become a glass athlete. The doctors can tell you within days if you cheat with your diet or if you are behind with your work out regime. They can measure and analyze anything - except they cannot analyze creativity. And you can't simulate creativity (how will you perform under pressure). So coaches and managers go with the obvious - data and points. Because they can hide behind data and say (in case a #1 pick busts) - "I did all the research and we had to go with that player". Heiskanen has a great character for coaches - he obviously goes on the ice each practice with a plan and the attitude "today I become a better player". Hischier, on the other hand, is a perfect case of how a frightened coach can literally coach talent out of a super creative center just to make him an (unnatural) two-way center. The Daigle and Hischier examples are two very good examples of how important your environment is. How do your parents, your manager and your teammates support you when you make it into the league and end up with a bad coach who tells you to play outside your comfort zone. As a 19-year-old, you are very quickly impressed and give up on what you believe in because you 7 analysts telling you every inch you skated or didn't skate. Mentoring is just as important for a young player. If you talk to a retired player, they will many times tell you that they had that one older teammate who helped them with the things besides the puck... Good teams are the perfect blend of several good players - other teams just have individual stars who won't win a flower pot. Even Mc David could end up without a cup. Which shifts the focus away from the player draft to management which decides over player development, scouting, coaching, support systems etc.

100%, not to mention the development a player goes through in their first 3-4 seasons. Pettersson has the potential to be a dominant 100 Pt player who has a 200ft game...

Flowmasta Flam Plus Minus ain’t a good stat man. Careful with your bias

preythemouse It can be flawed but being as big a star as leon it isnt hes shown he cant play defence at a high level while producing

Random Videos No it’s not. Research why plus minus is bad please. We can start with Plus Minus does not count a teams powerplay goals (and if I recall that’s really important to winning a game lol)

By that logic, most of the players on Vancouver are better than Connor McDavid because he has a -6 rating... It couldn't possibly be that Edmontons goaltending and defense are horrible...

Yep I agree. He is a special talent

Ring of Honour?? EP40 is going to be retired in to the Rafters right alongside our Stanley Cup Banner

Bure is my hero. And I bleed Canuck. He may be a better played overall. But I don't know about the best goal scorer against Bure. 60 back to back seasons is hard to beat. Especially in this 2019 nhl with mutant goalies! Lol

Yah but Bure was selected like 110th overall... then wins the Calder trophy in 91-92... every single time the Russian rocket touched a puck... people sensed a goal about to happen. And largely came out of no where as far as the hockey scene was concerned.

I honestly can’t say you didn’t make the right choice still

Yzerman, Sakic, Anderson, Neely, Price, Kariya, Recchi, Weber, Keith, Seabrook, the Courtnal brothers and Barzal may differ.

Hischier is still a good pick. Worse than the other 3, for sure, but nothing like Nolan Patrick who seems to be just short of a real bust, especially with his concussion issues now.

I wouldn’t count Nico out bud. Nico is playing much better without hall, he’s driving with the puck not just dumping it off to hall

SaintsFan 09 Fair. Hischier’s solid. I guess we’ve just been spoiled with the talents 1st picks in recent years. I personally would still take Heiskanen, Makar or Pettersson over him. Patrick wouldn’t even be top 10 for me

No, New Jersey was the worst team in the top 5. That's why they picked first. Anybody, and I mean ANYBODY, who was unfortunate enough to be picked by the Devils would be sucking ass too. Say the Devils picked Petterson and Vancouver picked Hischier and you would instead be talking about how awesome Hischier is and how bad Petterson stinks. Anybody with a brain would want traded out of New Jersey. Anybody would struggle in Jersey. The Devils suck and that's not down to one player.

Gautamiyer2 it is a migraine problem, it runs in his family, nothing to relate to concussion

Patrick Kane the Russian factor easy answer

I’ll look into it 👍🏻

Makar is definitely good but the sample size is pretty small. Just remember that this time last year people were saying Petey was better than McDavid.

James Turney well those people are retards

If we did a re-draft today and Colorado had the #1 pick, they would 100% draft Makar given their current circumstance

I'm glad you agree man its opinion but a lot of ppl think we wouldnt take him idky but thats opinions😂😂

The PPG is more deceptive when you consider most players don’t come close to PPG until they are 3-4 seasons out from their rookie season.
