With the Canucks not having a first or second round draft pick in the 2024 draft, it was difficult to see how or if they could hit any homeruns, with their first pick coming only in the 3rd round. However, TSN gave them a B+ rating by the end of the draft. This has much to do with their draft choice of Swedish winger Melvin Fernström. According to Todd Harvey, the team's Director of Scouting, Fernström has a high hockey IQ. This IQ would have seen him go either late 1st or an early 2nd round selection by any other team if it was paired with the same level of skating. The Canucks will be looking to develop this young kid into a far superior skater than what he is now during his time at camp. If this kid idolizes the Leaf's speedy winger,
William Nylander, he will have to appreciate and get better at how fast Willy can go and how he lets the game come to him.
In conclusion, there will be a lot to discuss. There will be a lot to follow, and we hope you will take this wild ride with us during the upcoming season. It's excIt'sg to be a Canucks fan again!
