Draft insider Cam Robinson (@EliteProspectsHockey) stops by from Nashville with his evaluation of Tom Willander as a player and on how the Canucks did value-wise. The guys discuss whether there were trade-down opportunities and the top-10 surprises of Simashev & Danielson — two other prospects the Canucks were reportedly eyeing. We also discuss the team passing on local product Zach Benson.

I really like this pick.
Like it.
Benson is gonna be a stud. 🙁
If you say you gonna draft BPA and ya choose willander over benson just goes to show you have no clue… worried a lot more now with free agency coming… gonna be a Dhali lineup, welcome to the nux lucic, soucy and cole… hopefully willander proves us all wrong but I guess we see next year playing against studs in ncaa… nothing against willander and could be a great pick if handled better then they did with woo….
Great snag in my opinion
Build from the net out… thats how champions are made.
Smart pick as they are already over represented in small skill players . I think Canucks would have ended up with a good player with whomever they picked in top 15-18 players . Good draft

Thanks for this report! I really appreciate the level headed analysis and careful evaluation. We can all hope it works out well.
I am so down with Tom over Benson tbh.
Great pick. CanucksTalk loves this pick too. Go listen to them and you will feel so good about this pick.
I am really happy with this pick
Canucks had to pick a player to fill a positional need. The cost for those guys in free agency or trade is too much.
You know what would have been even nicer having the 18th pick to take the other Swedish d man. Or giving them the opportunity to take a swing on Benson who has Brayden Point upside.
The Canucks hand out high end draft picks like candy. Frustrating.
