If I remember correctly, it's something like the 10 worst teams have a shot at #1 and #2, team 11 has a shot at #2 and 3, 12 has 3 and 4, etc. So let's say they finish 12th last in the standings, but end up winning the draft lotto and getting pick 3 or 4, those are probably protected.

buddha Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 do we want the isles to make the playoffs now? would you rather have pick 13 or 15 in this year's draft (which is supposed to be loaded) or a shot at vancouver's unprotected #1 next year in a draft that might not be as talented? regardless, i dont think isles are making the playoffs this year so it will be vancouver's pick next year.

Tigerbomb13 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Wow. Hronek is fine enough, but is the Vancouver GM trying to get fired?? Aren’t they rebuilding and behind where we are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be Vancouver's pick next year also... But unless that's a lottery winner or they are just top 5 pick regardless... I'd almost rather have this year's pick at 13-ish because with the Red Wings pick at 10-12-ish... SY can either grab two top talents or make a trade up to get a guy he really wants. Not certain if this is better than a higher pick next year... just thinking out loud... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordstanley Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Vancouver talk radio is on fire. Have been listening here since trade went down. Nothing personal against Hronek, but they are all dumbfounded as to why the Canucks made this move now.

lordstanley Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Assumption is that Yzerman will use this new pick to swap for someone better than Hronek now or at draft or in summer, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalpigsmuggler Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Hronek is 25 and has shown the ability to improve. I don't think this is the fleecing people think it is. I love Stevie. It makes sense as the Wings can easily replace him. But Hronek isn't a terrible player. He is a young guy with upside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is saying that Hronek sucks. He’s having a great season but he’s not worth a 1st and a 2nd now. I haven’t found a hockey pundit yet that likes what Vancouver gave up in this trade. I think you and @lordstanleymay be the only people in the world that think this is a fair deal for Canucks.

When did I say that? I made two posts. In one I reported that Canuck talk radio is angry and confused by the trade, I didn’t say anything about disagreeing with that. In the second post I speculated that the Wings could be able to get more for that 1st round pick than they gave up to get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
