Should have taken Kashawn Aitcheson.
Seems like a mix of Bo Horvat and Sammy Blais.
I like how he has some points and he has great leadership skills ao im really excited to see him play
Not sure how I feel about this pick…there were higher skill options on the board, but Cootes is the youngest captain in the WHL and showed very well at the U18s.
Gary Bettman does not smile everytime he announces a Canadian team. When it's an American team, he's all chipper. Seriously go watch all the videos lmao
This is gonna be the steal of the draft
Excellent!! Whew 😅 He said the RIGHT name!! Fantastic pick!! Welcome to Vancouver Braeden!! 💪 Hard worker, Captain!, team player! 👏 Go Canucks Go!!
"future captain of the vancouver canucks"
Best I can do is a 34 year old winger at the deadline
Canucks couldn’t have got Coby Smulders or Deadpool?
Sad he didnt recognise the Abbotsford Canucks. Wouldnt have taken much to mention them.
Finally a Canadian and not another underweight soft Swede.
This draft so painful to watch with this new format.🤦🏼♂️
Reminds me of a young Bo Horvat
Cootes
This team is horrible at drafting players, they should have traded this pick, this midget will be a bust.
"When they're in Stanley cup contention in a few year" now that's a good one 😂
Stop the press ! Canucks pick a Canadian?? Someone fact check this.
Mikky Sam!!!!
Best Canucks draft pick since 2018 Hughes
It's funny. They are starting to "rebuild" again just to have it collapse as usual.
Speed this whole thing up for next year.
What is wrong with Canadian Teams! Why can’t we get Canadian Celebrities!
Vanc have some options in the other rounds
Wozniak, E.Nilsn, Czat, Zharovsk, Gastrn, Katzn, Ekbrg, Poletin, Amidovsk, Gavin Garland, Griffin, L.Beckman, Cerrato, Psenick, Eppersn, Limatv, Vanhanan, Sjostrom, Klippenstein, Gorzynsk, Hutchisn, Pavlik, Pechar, Wang, Huang, Cerny
Good pick 🎉😊
