What are your thoughts on the Canucks selections? Who are you most excited about? Who do you believe has the best chance at becoming an NHLer?
Very hyped about Ferström and Romani. Two super great offensive guys that could be some real monsters in the future. Real optimistic about the Alcos and Sansonnens too, given they make it to development camp. The Canucks d-core has been fantastic and I don't doubt that those two could learn and develop a lot.
