Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube revolving around “hockey”, with a primary focus on “Vancouver Canucks”, “Montreal Canadiens”, “Detroit Red Wings”, and top “NHL prospects” topics. These videos are uploaded with “NHL 26” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

Is he that much better than the other 3 that its worth it though?
Worst idea ever
You guys ain’t getting it
If the Canucks take Malhotra over Stennberg, I will throw my controller.
Hroneck and the wild pick for 2
Another Bust liked vertanen 😅 vertanen rated High ends up not in the nhl
give them demko
I keep seeing delusional canucks fans thinking hronek and the wild pick for 2… it would be the 3rd overall plus hronek. You want a premium pick you pay a premium price lol
You take Viggo at 3, you need high ceiling players. If possible, do whatever it takes to bring the stenberg and Viggo bromance to Vancouver.
I realize the Ruck twins aren't top tier pics, but hard to ignore the hockey Universe manifesting twins as eligible in the first entry draft the Sedins are Presidenting over. Twins drafting twins would be a marketing wet dream.
There is no reason to move up, wait and see who is available and pick. We need PICKS! We don't need to give them away . Give Peety to Toronto for #1
It will never happen
I don’t think they’ll need to trade up. Sharks are in need of a 1D. I think they will take Reid.
Why Bother? It's CLEAR that SJ needs a Young Stud Defenceman, and will almost certainly select either Reid or Verhoff. HOWEVER, if Sundin and the Leafs, go off book and select Stenberg 1st, because of the Swedish Influence, and Dangle McKenna in front of SJ, they almost Can't pass that up Right? Or do they STAY the course and grab Reid as was the plan? Then WE get to choose between McKenna and Malhotra. SWEET! Picking third is fine by me unless it's Jake DeBrusk as the cost of moving up, that's fine too, with no salary retention. Or if the Leafs DO take McKenna, SJ takes Reid, and we get either Stenberg or Malhotra, so again, Why Bother? The Last thing I'll say is that I will consider this draft a FAILURE if we don't end up with Both Markus and Liam RUCK! THIS. HAS. TO. HAPPEN!!!
If they don’t trade up I would take best player available especially if they get stemberg
Malholtra is not a #3 player in this draft. They should not pick him.
Ignore his last name and country of origin.
There are Mckenna and Stenberg who have a far better chance at being good pick. From 3rd pick to 6th pick its a crapshoot. I am very worried picking 3rd to be honest.
If we get Stenberg or Reed, Stenberg will be a bust after his rookie deal, and Reed will leave after he wins a Norris.
Oh wait, that's already happened. Can it happen twice? 50 years of canucking up everything says yeah, it could.
with the 2026, 2nd pick. Canucks select: Reid or malholtra
You won't know that a draft year is deep for another 6-8 years after the draft year.
I think the blues are going to trade up to 1 or 2.
Thinking Filip Hronek will get you the 2 OA straight up is comedy.
If Vancouver truly wants Ivar Stenberg, they cannot afford to just sit at 3 and pray he falls. San Jose is holding an auction right now with Vancouver, Chicago, and New York. Which ever team jumps up to 2, Stenberg is gone. Trading up with the Sharks isn't just about moving up one spot—it's about Vancouver controlling their own destiny and locking down a franchise-altering winger before someone else leaves them empty-handed
The second spot would be so tough to get, i think we should be looking at that 4th overall instead and really get things started, reid/maholtra
The Canucks Swede management will draft a Swede . If you pick 2 or 3 your are never a Stanley Cup contender
San Jose, will ask 2027 first round pick and D. San jose needs to keep the pick. Trade 20th for veteran D.
Sharks will go BPA and not NEED. Do not act like you know our team and how we draft. You don’t.
2 and 3 would be good
One of Stenbergs criticisms is his foot speed. Sorry man, fastest league in the World. I take a Canadian if it's even close 8 days a week. Canucks don't do that. They've never won a Cup either
Sharks aren’t trading the pick unless someone is willing to give up a 1D plus a first round pick
Canucks Fans can DREAM ON!! 😂 Not gonna happen…Stenberg will be a Shark…get use to it…Go Sharks! 😎
They'll trade up and draft Malholtra.
Can't wait till the draft is over with tbh.
like they need another swedish hockey player what a joke
