I’m feeling weirdly optimistic about picking 3rd, more so than if we picked 1st. With the 1st pick okay, you pick up a guy like Gavin Mckenna who could be one of the best players in the league someday, but I also never felt any connection to the guy, I never felt like he would be the kind of guy to call Vancouver home.
With the 3rd pick, our options almost feel unlimited. You want a d-man to pair with Zeev? Go nuts, right handed guys are all over the place here with great potential. You want a guy who loved the Canucks growing up? A guy who’s got tons of connections and would call Vancouver home? Solidify our “spine”, get Caleb Malholtra.
I don’t even agree with the whole, you gotta pick between manny or Caleb, we see it in all sports. A father son duo where the father is pushing his kid to greatness and the whole team rallies behind it.
If we got the 1st pick it almost would feel predictable. But with this third pick, I’m excited to see how we handle it and what can come of it moving forward.

Toronto maple leaf fans are starting to feel bad for us. Truly, we need to find some way to get rid of our owner because how can our top GM candidate be Shane Doan. Why are we looking at the former GM of Buffalo. It’s just absurd. My dad said to me he thought he would see the Canucks raise the cup before he dies, he was alive to see them be brought into the nhl, and now at age 62, he doesn’t believe he will ever get that chance. Ridiculous.
