  1. We’ve nailed our third round picks so far under Allvin. D-Petey and Brzustewicz were home runs and Mynio had a really good season too.

    I don’t know a thing about this guy but he’s a Swede third rounder so he’s a guaranteed steal

  2. don’t love we took a swede in a draft Swedes have been calling a “down year for our prospects”. But it’s a third so whatever.

  3. Man’s name is Melvin, cartoon nerd ass name.

    Pretty highly rated offensive skills apparently. High upside but obviously not a complete player, I like going with upside this late in the draft though and of course he’s a Swede too.

  4. I’m convinced that if the Canucks somehow had the first pick last year they would have passed on bedard and grabbed Carlsson

  5. I was kind of hoping they’d take Hiroki Gojsic (who went to Nashville with the next pick). Big kid from Langley who averaged a point a game in the second half of the WHL season for Kelowna. But this kid looks promising too

  6. how many more great swedish players does the canucks have to get before people give the swedes some respect in here? lets go swedes, and lets fuckin go canucks!!

  7. Have no idea who this guy is. But as a fan I hope this works out for the team. Been lots of activity but the Canucks aren’t in any of them it seems. Perhaps they’ve got things lined up in a few days when free agency begins.

  8. I was gonna do a post about how the Swedish culture hasn’t gotten us anything in the last 54 years. I dunno man.
