Not because the player is bad but because it was the wrong pick to make from, IMO, the best player available perspective and the organizational need perspective. They needed to hit on good first line forwards with the #6 and #5 picks. They whiffed on both.
And I'll be clear the organization needs depth and talent everywhere but they really need up front help. You aren't going to be successful with a bunch of 40 point guys in the top 6.

I've always considered the Canucks to be weak on defencemen. IMO wingers are the last pieces to add.
