[Rob Williams] The #Canucks own the NHL’s longest first-overall pick drought. No franchise has been in the league longer than Vancouver without picking first at the draft.

Pain
Crap
Honestly, this organization deserves a lot of credit. They’ve never tried to play with better odds. That’s consistency. They’ve been consistent at fucking their draft odds.
Silver lining take: we’ve never sucked enough to get first overall? Lol
EDIT: This is a JOKE!
Hello darkness my only friend
Just saw this tweet by [Jeff Paterson](https://twitter.com/patersonjeff/status/1655745625663877121?s=46&t=-6TfoOPAfQTkNPNNmaLWhA):
> the winning #NHL draft combo was 4-5-9-13. #Canucks held 4-5-9-12…
*internally screams*
One day. Not today. But one today.
Canucks have never had a #1 overall I believe. Correct me if I’m wrong please.
Don’t we have the longest franchise drought in North American Sports too
Sounds about right.
Pain…
This franchise is setting tons of records lately. Without context you’d think things are free going quite well
#Cause I’d rather feel pain than nothing at all
I just my team to draft a generational talent….is this too much ask?!
The drought is going to last a while because this team will do constant re-tool after re-tool lol
Good thing we got those wins down the stretch. Could’ve been saddled with a Bedard contract.
Isn’t this just hilarious guys I for one am rolling on the floor laughing!!
Thats gunna happen when your team never tries to tank/rebuild. No point getting tilted over it
Key word: picking. The Canucks have had the 1st overall pick and traded it.
would have been content not knowing this lol
*sad Canuck noises*
This franchise has been bent over since 1970
Wait a minute… you’re telling me we own an NHL record? This is HUGE!
I mean has there ever been a more MID franchise than the Canucks? Don’t find that stat surprising.
No franchise has tried to make a last push for the playoffs for no reason and missed out by a couple spots longer than the Canucks
