The Canucks have some really good up-and-coming prospects. Frank Corrado, and Jordan Subban on defence. Bo Horvat, Niklas Jensen, Brendan Gaunce, Hunter Shinkaruk, and Dane Fox on offence. And... oh... there is a massive black hole in the young goaltender department. Joacim Eriksson is young, but isn't a top prospect. And Eddie Lack isn't in the prospect category. What should they do?
Vancouver isn't having the greatest of seasons. Think about it this way... Phoenix is one point back of them, Anaheim is too good for them, L.A. is just better than them, and St. Louis takes them to a shootout. Truth is. The western conference isn't easy, anymore. The teams are better, and you can only milk points out of Calgary, and Edmonton. If Vancouver isn't a playoff team by the deadline, they should tank on the season, and trade Edler for a draft pick. With that draft pick, they should pick a defenceman. And in the third or second rounds, they should draft a decent future starting goalie.
One netminder that might catch the eye of some Canuck scouts is Payton Lee. Lee is currently playing for the WHL Vancouver Giants. The Cranbrook B.C. native is having a pretty good year behind a not so good Giants team. Mike Gillis has something against drafting players from the Vancouver/B.C. area. So Payton may not be a Canuck, as per the draft.
