The Vancouver Canucks haven’t drafted a defenseman in the first round since 2005. It’s time that changed. Could a trade help that along?
Since the Canucks took the late Luc Bourdon, the team has yet to choose a defenseman in the opening round of an NHL Draft. This year, that could change.
Right now, the Canucks are slated to select 23rd in the 2015 NHL Draft. However, Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province points out that there might be an offer from the Arizona Coyotes that could have them move up quite a bit.
