Dalibor would've been a great pick, ill take willander tho. Both great players
Surprised Danielson was getting top 12 hype after the draft including being picked at 9 by Detroit. When most mock drafts had him going around 16th or later.
I was thinking Detroit going with a Wallinder and Willander combo. Oh well.
I was okay with Danielson, as the Detroit Lions had a player named Gary Danielson.
Kept it in the name family.
I'm so bored of draft picks talkings.
Dvorsky was the dream scenario; a strong, physical, defensively responsible centre with a great shot. Happy with Willander though; Dvorsky falling was always a long-shot.
I too, was leery of Danielson, but a deeper dive into his stats reveals that most of his pre-WHL seasons had him averaging two points-per-game. It's quite possible that his offensive upside is still there waiting to be unleashed. I just wish we had a chance to view him in some international games where we could have seen him play with some top players, but he had some bad luck with the timing of the U18 events.
Very interesting. Danielson value based on reliable floor. So a can't-miss pick in a sense? But really not sure why they would want just a reliable 3rd liner, great point. Intangibles we can't see perhaps? I really liked Dvorsky, would've been happy with him. I wasn't too big on Willander until a few weeks out from the draft the Canucks sub reddit swayed me. The more I find out about Willander the more excited I get.
You can keep that pick. Stl will keep Dvorsky. Guy is a stud.
Willander is a good pick for the Canucks, you didn't need an "offensive" defenseman like ASP and with Reinbacher off the board Willander was an obvious choice. Some good players were overlooked by making that selection though but Willander is performing well in an adult league so there should be no concerns about his selection IMHO.
Noooooooo lego! Not after THIS week. Zadina was this mythical "BPA" you keep talking about; plus, since a bunch of idiot teams passed on him he was also the "draft steal of the century". A year later they called Sieder a "reach". Who's deciding BPA again? Cuz they don't seem so great at it. Yzerman chose Danielson because he liked his attitude during the interview, specifically about leading a struggling team since the Weat Kings were turrible. They are valuing leadership, and I'm for it.
Danielson's profile reminds me of Brandon dubinsky a little bit
Edit- also drafting based on future salary cap issues sounds like incredibly poor asset management
Lol in 2030 we’ll probably have a good idea if it was the right move or not
