Benson probably liked Messier and thought the Boston logo was cool.
Love it. I like this kid’s focus. Not everyday someone decides to go from EU to NCAA.
Just saw a couple of interviews with him and he’s a well spoken, humble kid. Could be a home run pick if he hits
Orca>Skate
Then you better not disappoint them!
Edit: well they all cant be winners
Nothing against Willander at all, but it’s hard to feel like this draft isn’t cursed when we all just had to watch Connor Bedard put on a Blackhawks jersey because we were off by a single lottery number.
He’s got a big hill to climb, and none of it is his fault.
People are going to grumble about the pick but you gotta make it (in my defence, I wanted them to pick ASP) when your top RHD in your prospect pool is Jett Woo…
we may not have bedard who a canucks fan. zi guess we got someone
This guy looks confident. What is the over/under for playing with Hughes in 2 years?
He’s gonna be an absolute beast at BU on a pair with Lane Hutson. Celebrini is gonna be on that team too
My initial reaction to the pick was “fuck” but he’s won me over quickly
Awww I think the orca logo is cool too! His English is also excellent. Excited to see what he can bring to the table in the next few years.
Ok, but can he recite the entire fresh prince of bel-air song?
wow he like me
I’m happy with the pick even more now. Orca logo fans unite!
Hear all the time we’ve drafted Swedes and never won a cup but I think we just haven’t drafted enough Swedes.
The vast majority of pro defensmen are coming from pro euro leagues or the NCAA. We now get the hybrid of both. Fills a positional need, but also could come out as a very safe pick. Could very well be Ohlund 2.0
Even he knows Orca is better than skate. He is gonna be elite
I like how nobody can read Allvin in this city. He says he’s going BPA. Then he drafts Willander who is more of a positional need than BPA.
Me too, Tom
I would be sad if the team ever changed the logo. The Orca has been the teams identity for too long.
That’s pretty Swede of him
Will be exciting to see what happens
Me too kid, me too.
Welcome to the fandom, Tom! Canucks fans always appreciate cool logos and unique journeys. Enjoy the ride!
I’m sold
Hopefully his game is able to move from shl to NCAA smoothly and is able to improve there. The NCAA has been crazy in the past decade with players developing there and becoming stars.
