With the 34th pick, the Ontario Hockey League's Guelph Storm selected Vancouver Canucks prospect Vilmer Alriksson.
Alriksson, 18, is a 6'6" left winger from Sweden who the Canucks drafted with the 107th overall pick last Thursday in the fourth round. He spent the 2022-23 season in the Swedish junior league, appearing in 43 games for Djurgardens Jr., putting up 21 points (12 goals, nine assists), 22 penalty minutes and was a plus-one.
It's unclear at this time if Alriksson will remain in Sweden next season or if he'll commit to the Guelph Storm and suit up with them for the 2023-24 campaign. Expect a decision to be made on that front in the coming week.
