“At the 2014 draft, the Vancouver Canucks had two first round picks. There was a rumoured disagreement between GM Jim Benning and the scouting staff (info via @Hockey_Robinson).
At 6th overall, the scouting staff wanted William Nylander, Benning wanted Jake Virtanen.
They took Jake Virtanen
At 24th overall, the scouting staff wanted David Pastrnak, Benning wanted Jared McCann.
They took Jared McCann.
The Canucks could have had a lineup in 2017/18 of:
Sedin-Sedin-Pastrnak
Nylander-Horvat-Boeser
Vanek-Sutter-Granlund
Eriksson-Gagner-Baertschi
What could have been…” BigHeadHockey said in a post on X.
