Vancouver Canucks
2026 draft picks: 1st, 1st (MIN), 2nd, 2nd (SJ), 3rd (CBJ), 4th, 5th, 6th, 6th (WSH), 6th (BOS)The Canucks’ most pressing need is skill. They need it on defense, and they need it at forward. It is not about positional need or desire; the Canucks desperately need to draft players with elite scoring profiles and high upside with every selection.
If Ivar Stenberg gets to three, that is a no-brainer pick. It continues with their other selections in their early rounds. They should target players such as Nikita Klepov, Adam Novotny, Mathis Preston, Ryan Roobroeck, Yegor Shilov, Casey Mutryn, Tommy Bleyl and Xavier Villeneuve.
The Canucks desperately need an influx of skill and upside at every position in their prospect pool as part of the rebuild. It starts with drafting the best players available and extracting value wherever possible.
Sorry. Maybe your politeness threw me off. When did you become so sensitive?
I’ll still take Verhoeff over Reid for the reasons stated. Pussy.
That’s fine. Either way your letting complete strangers form your opinion. I’ll take Verhoeff based on my opinion that he will provide exactly what this team needs going forward.
I am a bit leery on taking a highly touted American out west based on recent events. I want a guy that wants to be here and wants to stay. I also see that in Verhoeff.
Quite honestly, it’s flattering that you don’t give me credit that you do scouts. Mostly because you know absolutely jack squat and I don’t need affirmation from ignorant people.
Hope all is well buddy and the fishing is great.
I was polite… no need to be a cunt. You kind of made it look like you are upset you didnt get your affirmation.

I have not been to any of his games, no.
Hundreds of scouts have. Best I can do is look at their opinions of him and watch some film myself.
Sorry, I don’t give you the credit I do for scouts. I will remember to pay you credit if he turns out to be the best D in the draft and worthy of the 3rd. I think Reid is the more likely candidate for that.
2oa for Kesselring/27oa
Idk about that. Is Kesselring that good to warrant giving up Stenberg or Reid or another D?
Reid.
Verhoeff is too risky at 3… red flags on decision making. Called a turn over machine by many scouts. If everything were to come together for him… he may be one hell of a player but he is no clear top 3 pick.
Malholtra… not a top 3 pick either. With Stenberg you are looking at top line winger. With Reid you are looking at top pairing D. I feel they hit that ceiling much more likely than Malholtra hitting top line C.
First time we pick top 3 in almost 30 years and there’s a feeling that they are going to reach back from there with some poorly timed tunnel vision.
