Who Will the Canucks Pick Tonight?

 The NHL Draft is here and the Vancouver Canucks find themselves back in the Top 10. This time around feels different. The last two times the Canucks have picked in the Top 10 they have gotten steals with Quin Hughes and Vasili Podkolzin

I have a good feeling about this draft. Picks 3 through 9 seem like a crapshoot. This means Vancouver will have a crack at whoever falls out of the Top 8. 

Looking at previous drafts and there usually is someone in the Top eight that drops down. 2017 Gabriel Vilardi fell from 7th to 11th. 2018 Quinn Hughes fell from 5th to 7th. 2019 Cole Caufield fell from 7th to 15th. Last year it was Marco Rossi that fell from 7th to 9th. 

It is interesting, all mock drafts have different results everywhere. I have seen Luke Hughes between 4th and 8th and Dylan Guenther between 3rd and 9th. Vancouver is going to get a good player tonight. 

The players that I want I don't expect to be at 9th. I will be happy with Johnson or Kent. 

Here is my mock draft. 

1. Owen Powers 

2. Matthew Beniers

3. Luke Luke Hughes 

4. Mason McTavish 

5. Simon Edvinsson

6. Dylan Guenther

7. Brent Clark 


9. Kent Johnson
