The Vancouver Canucks had an interesting draft order this year.
As many fans painfully remember, the team entered the 2021 NHL Entry Draft without a first round pick for the second consecutive season, after dealing theirs to the Arizona Coyotes in a blockbuster deal. Not the end of the world for the Canucks, especially when you look back on some of the league’s best superstars that have emerged out of later rounds, but still another opportunity for Jim Benning and co. to carry more pressure on their shoulders.
The Canucks ended up making their first selection during the second round on forward Danila Klimovich.
