With that selection, Allvin and the Canucks took 20-year-old centerman Ty Mueller, who has played the last two seasons in the NCAA with the University of Omaha-Nebraska.
Mueller, who is a native of Cochrane, Alberta, was a double overager for this draft after being passed over in both 2021 and 2022, which makes this selection even more confusing.
Despite being a .73 points-per-game player, he didn't necessarily dominate in the NCAA like you'd expect for someone in their age 19/20 year. In 34 games, he had 25 points (12 goals, 13 assists), four penalty minutes and was a plus-nine.
