Smart pick taking Jones at 3.

I couldn't be more excited about our first two picks. Next season can't come soon enough for the Avs!
Getting Jones was the whole purpose of trading #6 and #8 to move up to #3.
I'm very interested to see how the order goes from here, I think it will be very different from the NHL.

I also agree with you Jon, i think that the draft is going to go very different from the NHL.... for a few reasons... one because some of the guys that have been drafted have gotten the chance to really show what they can do (whether it be almost making pro clubs or actually gettting somewhat of a shot), plus the fact is that i believe this draft has a high talent draw in the first two rounds.

This really is a great draft, could end up being like the 2003 draft. Outside of the obvious #1 pick, guys like Barkov, Jones, Monahan, Drouin, Lindholm, etc are all arguably all worthy of top 3 picks in recent drafts.
Jon trading down to get Galchenyuk and and the 6th pick last year has turned out to be a pretty brilliant deal.

I watched Barkov play two or three games this week and just watching how mature he is at 18 (he almost a full year younger than Jones) plus his skill at both ends of the rink, made him an easy choice over Drouin at #2. Jones may be the best player in the draft when it's all said and done, but the make-up of my team meant I had to take a high-end forward with my first pick.

Interesting to see where Vancouver goes with the 4 picks..... you'd have to think they'd take a gamble here or there with one or two of the picks?

I think the first round has been pretty predictable so far....of course I had 5 of the first 9 picks, so that made it easier for me....lol.
Pretty happy with the players I got. Barkov is a franchise guy, Lindholm and Nichushkin are top 5 talents most years, and Nurse looked amazing for the Oilers in the pre-season (watching the Oilers play so far, you have to wonder why thet sent him back...lol). Plus Horvat's the type of heart and soul player that I love. Hopefully they'll all be part of the Canucks championship team in 2015-16.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised about Mantha... almost 3 PPG right now in the Q! I had him pegged as a potential guy available tomorrow, but hard to argue the guy may end up being the best winger in the draft
Not surprised Shinkaruk went early either. He had a great camp for the Canucks.
