The goalie would have caught right too Ideally I like to see us draft an entire line every draft with what ever needs we have getting drafted earlier and with extra picks. It helps your overall depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems noone took Alex this draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went undrafted which I didn't expect. I think he can overcome his size with his skill and compete level. He'll be joining Willander at BU next season. A name to keep an eye on for sure!

I like to have more players from home there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a 5th round pick. Graham, then a prospect was dealt for Curt Fraser (so it wasn't like it was a complete waste). Not to mention Mike Rogers, who the Canucks selected in the 5th round in 1974. He jumped to Hartford of the WHA instead of signiing with the Canucks. Then when the WHA merged with the NHL in 1979, the Canucks could have taken him back, but decided not to. That was because his ex-Hartford coach Harry Neale, who had just been hired by the Canucks, didn't think Rogers at at 5'8" could survive in the NHL. He went on to have three 100+ point seaons for Hartford (in the NHL) and the Rangers and is one of the Canucks' highest scoring (but least remembered) draft picks ever.
