Doing better than you, but I'm good. Looking forward to a weekend of rest and rehabilitation. It's been kind of a crazy fortnight, so a little relaxation before we dive into a week next week that probably contains more Canuck news.
They are the gift that keeps on giving.
Indeed. I got to say, I'm a little surprised this week has come and gone without an announcement of Manny Malhotra as head coach. You?
Yeah.
I am. I probably would have said Wednesday to Friday was going to be the time that it happens. Clearly, there's a point or two that need to be tackled. I mean, if it gets past Wednesday of next week, to me, that's my deadline. Wednesday of next week, something has gone wrong if it's past Wednesday of next week. Monday, Tuesday, I don't think that's too weird. Past that point?
Yeah, I think that's sensible. Let's get to our daily poll question. And boy, one of the things that we have discovered here since, well, the end of the Canucks season in April, but more acutely since the draft lottery in May. is you folks have an insatiable appetite for draft talk right now. And this number three overall pick kicked it around yesterday in a number of directions, and we're going to kick it around again today because, well... There seems to be a lot of talk about teams trading draft picks this year. It doesn't happen very often in the top 10, and even less so in the top five. More on that in a moment. However, this unique situation where San Jose, once again, with the second overall pick like they had last year, desperate for defensemen and goal prevention.
Maybe the best player available there is a forward, if you believe in the McKenna-Ivar Stenberg situation. And we're looking at ways for the Canucks to get up to number two to guarantee themselves either McKenna or Stenberg. We polled on that yesterday. It was effectively 50-50. Today we're asking Jake DeBrusque in third overall to San Jose for second overall. Who says no? You can vote Canucks. You can vote Sharks. You can vote both. You can vote neither. How do we get to DeBrusque? Good question. Well, we talked about Philip Roenick yesterday. Philip Roenick in and of himself doesn't get you the number two overall. Philip Roenick in number three is way too high a price to pay to move up to number two overall.
Yesterday, when talking with Patrick Johnson and the trade value or the pick value board on Puckpedia, we came to, well, the board will tell you it's Roenick in the 10th overall, but does the 24th overall on Roenick get you the number two pick outright? Maybe. In this draft, we'll see. Some of you desperately want to trade Marcus Patterson, and after the season he had last year, I'm not surprised. Here's the problem. Marcus Patterson has a full no-move clause and has given no indication that he wants to move on. So that gets us to Jake DeBrusque, and it gets us to Jake DeBrusque because he has indicated no. a desire to move midway through last year, said he wasn't signing up for a rebuild, and the reports since then have said he'd be more inclined to stay in the Western Conference, of course, as an Alberta boy.
So, Dabruska number three for number two. Would you pay that if you're the Canucks, Blake?
I would certainly think about it. The temptation is, can you pay a different price and then save DeBrusque as an asset to trade for something else down the road, whether that is a cheaper, younger player, whether that is another draft pick at some point else in the first round or late first round or second round. Yeah. I'm tempted to think that it's too much to pay, but I also am pretty cognizant that Jake's not worth a ton. I'm going to say no. You hold back that asset and you stay happy at three.
