There was once a time where Vancouver Canucks fans cheered for nothing more than the Stanley Cup championship, but now many of them simply cheer for the group to tank, in hopes that they’ll win the NHL draft lottery.
After years of misery and misfortunes, Canucks fans couldn’t help but think they’d win the lottery in 2016, with the chance to draft Patrik Laine or Auston Matthews. It didn’t happen. In 2017, they (luckily), fell down to fifth and nabbed Elias Pettersson, who stands to be the best player of his draft class.
