Like a wax strip being pulled off a hairy leg, Vancouver Canucks fans felt a swift burning sensation after it was revealed that they would select seventh overall in the 2018 NHL entry draft.
However, once the pain of losing out on the first overall selection subsided, it dawned on many that the Canucks will still get a high quality player with their seventh overall pick.
