We feel very strong that we’re getting a good player… Number 3 is still going to be a great building block for the Vancouver Canucks.”

Each channel is fairly unique so if you want to see everything the Canucks have you’ll definitely want to check out each channel.
we could have drafted better we passed on Zach Benson and lekkerimaki isn't looking to good.
Sharks are taken Reid at #2
We all saw this coming. The NHL will never allow the Canucks to pick first
Time to retire Jim
The Sharks picking 2nd definitely adds a layer of uncertainty to this draft. We are still going to get a good player at 3 but the hockey gods are not Canucks fans thats for sure …cursed.
I'm buying a Sharks jersey haha. Honestly though. No reason to even watch anymore.
McKenna will be first. Swede is second to Sharks. Canucks must go after Maholtra. No trades on picks this year.
Can't wait for you to retire!!!
They prepared us all year for 3rd overall – you knew it was coming.
The same teams that spent the highest amount prior to the years of salary caps keep winning the draft lottery. Do we really want to believe billionaires leave this all to luck?
If they bring in Dorian, I am going to be so disappointed…
Haha. He droves the team into the ground and then leaves.
I think it’s best to fold the franchise & sell the team. This team is perpetually cursed. And no, number 3 will NOT be an impact player pick. They’ll screw that up too. If I’m Aqullini, I sell the team & build condos on the stadium site.
you suck
Canucks have to trade EP40 for a 3rd round pick nd offersheet Bedard
The Wild are done, no beating the Avs this year. Good pick there.
As long as the cheap friggen Aqualini’s own this club the Canucks are cooked terrible terrible ran organization.
Done with the politics of the NHL. Not watching it anymore. nfl/cfl now favorite
Wow! Who knew the Canucks wouldn’t get first!!!😀
3rd is still very very good .. but stings badly…
This is why I was against the tank. It never goes Vancouver's way anyways.
Please, trade the owners.
Jim basically said Malhotra is going to be their pick
