It wouldn’t even eat the top 3 pick we’ll receive for being last. It would take the late 1st we received from Minnesota & an earlyish 2nd.
Would be fun to repeat history.

How about we stay focused on drafting the best players, rather than repeating the past.

This shouldn’t be a priority, like.. at all. There’s better players..

It seems strange to say now but Henrik and Daniel fully expected to get drafted by different teams.
If that happened surely one of the teams would’ve given up on one of them and traded them to the others team setting up one of the worst trades in NHL history.

Would be fun to get them with our 2nds. The team needs good stories to get excited about again.

Sure but get Mckenna first.
Also looks like they both played with Mckenna last year in Medicine Hat so could be a nice trio to draft.

Unironically they need to heavily consider this. Based off of recent draft rankings it’s starting to seem like Liam is ranked in the late 1st to early 2nd round, with Marcus a little behind that. They’re 4th and 5th in WHL scoring at 17 (on pace for 90+ points) so they’re genuinely good prospects and not just memes.
Depending on how the draft boards fall and where Minny’s pick ends up they should be looking to pull off a budget Burke and trade up or down to be able to snag them both. The Canucks picks put them in a unique situation to realistically do it.
Even if it’s a slight reach based on raw draft ranking, their inherit chemistry and the ability to be mentored by the Sedins more than outweighs it IMO

If we got the twins and McKenna 😭😭😭
We need this

I’m sorry to say but this twin obsession needs to stop. We already have a Pettersson obsession, no more weird obsessions.

If they’re able to get another pick, why not. They’re projecting to put up solid numbers

Looks more like Calgary are in a position to snag these two, since we gave up our 3rd (for Zadorov) they’re holding the picks currently projected to be 64th & 66th overall and we have nothing between 50th and 97th.
But hey, maybe we trade Evander Kane @ 50% retention for Dallas’ 2nd and manage to move Blueger for a 3rd.

Two BC boys who are expected to go where the Canucks have picks and are improving their draft position with strong play. Why wouldn’t it be of interest to draft them?

They’re also from Osoyoos. I wonder if they were Canucks fans growing up.

Dude, they would receive unparalleled mentorship from the sedins, I have to imagine they would be thrilled to go to Vancouver
This would only be good if we got both, not smart to take one and not the other since it’d just be another Hughes brothers dram

Listening to a Canucks game in three years:
Ruck passes to Ruck, back to Pettersson, Pettersson to Pettersson, Pettersson steps off the ice for Liam Ohgren, Liam to Liam Ruck to Ruck, Ruck drops it back to Pettersson who corals it around to Pettersson, to Marcus Ruck, Marcus drops it to Marcus Pettersson, Pettersson passes to Elias, Elias to Elias to Ruck to Ruck and GOAL!

In some fantasy world in which we get McKenna/Stenburg, Malholtra, and the twins, I’d be a very happy camper.
However, I should emphasize “fantasy world”

Mckenna and these two bros would make me a happy camper on draft day.
