Rate your team's draft weekend

[Bloody Brian Burke]

It's not even really a joke at this point, you know as well as I do that it's gonna happen.

If it does, I might have to take a break from this team. I might have to anyway.

I know a couple folks who already have, and while a few years ago i'd cast them as bandwagoners or featherweight fans, I don't really blame them at this point.

Here are some marks for the Canadian based teams from the head of North American scouting (Central Scouting Bureau):

I don't normally agree with the Sun but I do agree with this.

The bottom line: The Canucks hit a home run, the Maple Leafs did a solid job and the Senators, well, there is always next year’s draft, right?

CANUCKS A+

Vancouver used their two first-round round picks wisely to acquire excellent pieces in Jake Virtanen and Jared McCann ... Both kids are very low risk and do a lot of important things to help their teams win ... They then got arguably the best goaltender in the draft, Thatcher Demko, who led Boston College to the Frozen Four as a freshman starter which is unheard of ... Size then seemed a priority when they took the mountainous Nikita Tryamkin who needs work but has a lot of the tools you want in a big prospect ... Kyle Pettit & Mackenzie Stewart are big kids who need work but have some potential ... Jim Benning has been known as a shrewd guy in the league and proved it with his drafting and trades this weekend.
