Why the Canucks MUST draft Gavin McKenna….
The Vancouver Canucks are in tank mode. With the race for the NHL first overall pick between Gavin McKenna, Ivar Stenberg and Keaton Verhoeff heating up, the question has become who deserves to go first overall? In this miniseries dissecting the three players I will discuss who I believe should take the top spot and who the Canucks should take if they are fortunate enough to finish with the first overall pick.

Mckenna is too soft, they have enough of those already
2 things that most forget or wont acknowledge here:
1) Canucks will be screwed out and over anything that resembles a draft pick that would land Mckenna or any player that goes as the #1 pick.
2) Mckenna is not at all cracked up to the hype we got as he used to be from what hes shown this season against any kind of top tier opponents, World juniors just proved that!
there's perhaps 4 players that are without a doubt distancing themselves from Mckenna for top spot right now, and Canucks would be foolish to focus on just Mckenna…If he ever gets big league ready it wont be for 3-4 years hes go time for the NHL…still has a lot to build physical and development wise
To be realistic, I would be happy for us to draft Tynan Lawrence (C) at #3/#4. We all know the best we are getting in this draft is #3😂. Canucks don’t win lotteries
Watch the Canucks mess up and draft 5th overall
The Canucks are their fanbase are exactly what we don’t want in hockey. Toxic as fuck. No one wants to see them succeed
draft order is a lottery no?
I don’t agree we need to draft anyone but him he is a BUST horrible attitude and person don’t need more drama in the room
You could have also said that they're all Canadian during your intro 🙂
Gavin is not going to be a Canuck unless god is on our side. But Ryan Roobroeck might be or Caleb Maholtra.
Hm, so to fulfil his potential, we'd need to surround him with some elite finishers? where have i heard that before… but yea, i understand, but can hope the organization can do that change that history…
The Canucks WILL NEVER DRAFT #1 clowns! Are you new here?
I agree with picking Mckenna but do we really think that the Canucks will ever be allowed to pick first over all? I doubt it so hard.
bedard isnt generational
Knowing management with the call from ownership, they will pick someone off the board or another Swede. Hate to say it, but the canucks will find a way to screw up.
2nd stud hockey player from my hometown the past few years. Being on the Canucks would be sick!
Even with a 99.9% chance, the Canucks would still find a way to lose the draft lottery and pick after 10th,…
Someone else will take 1st pick and we will get the Swede.
I’d pick Stenberg over him. More physical, more tenacious. It’s important at this age that you’re a hardworking player.
Nah. Gavin McKenna is a weak skater. He will not do well in the NHL. What does Sidney, McDavid, MacKinnon, Celebrini or Schaefer all have in common? They are all good skater. That's why McKenna is having a tough time in the NCAA.
No. He goes to Calgary. Vancouver gonna trade McKenna away just like they did Hughes.
I have no confidence in the Canucks. You have common sense the Canucks Management does not have any and I mean any common sense.
If we finish last, we will be lucky to pick 5th….
I know it's impossible for other teams but this is the Canucks luck we are talking about.
I have it between Stenburg and Verhoeff. McKenna is third for me hes got a few too many red flags for my taste
I actually want canucks to draft Tynan Lawrence. everybody is sleeping on him but he plays like Macklin Celebrini
It’s a fun debate everyone likes to have but honestly if you don’t pick 1st overall, then you default to you next best. Will be interesting to see if they pick the top D guy if he is available or the center who is ranked lower.
McKenna is going to be good don’t get me wrong he reminds more of a Kane type player he will need good two way player type player just like Kane played with Toews Hossa Sharp Saad Handzus
Lucky to be in such a deep draft where 1-3 are all respectable at #1
What are the odds McKenna tanked a bit so his odds to be picked by Chicago are higher?
Nice video, I really like your longer form of content.
In my dreams, the Canucks pick first overall and get McKenna, if we pick second it’s Stenberg, and third pick is Tynan Lawrence not Verhoeff cause an elite center prospect is what this Org also needs
Gavin mckenna will NOT go first
The only way we get mckenna is if we pick third and 1 and 2 pass on him cuz Canucks are picking a Swede 100% lol
Canucks dont need a number one pick, they have Elias Aylein Petterson
I can't get my hopes up any more for the Canucks getting a break in the draft lottery. We're one of only a few teams to never get a #1 pick
ivar stenberg is better tho
"Gavin McKenna is not a blood-related cousin to Connor Bedard…(but), He (McKenna) IS a cousin-by-marriage of Bedard('s)…"
It's alarming that there's doubt about Gav going 1st overall. The talent is there, but you hope he doesn't end up as a Shane Wright where there was so much hype of him going 1st overall but he slid to 4th instead, and Shane's not putting up insane points atm…
Genuinely what I saw from world juniors is that McKenna needs to puck on his stick, if not he’s invisible. Stenberg on the other hand is a dawg. He looks like an NHL player right now. Not to mention the ridiculous numbers he’s putting in the SHL as an 18 year old.
It doesn't matter who the Canucks draft they'll end up being a bust because Canucks.
As a lifetime Canuck fan we will not get the first pick even if they finish 32nd. The choice of who to pick will be made for them.
