2018 NHL Mock Draft: The Vancouver Canucks take smooth-skating defenseman Ty Smith with the seventh pick

With the seventh pick in this 2018 Hockey Wilderness NHL Mock Draft—made up of a collection of some of the most brilliant hockey minds in all the land—the imaginary Vancouver Canucks have imaginarily selected Ty Smith.

The Canucks had a pretty horrendous campaign in ’17-’18 (again) as they finished just three points above the cellar in the Pacific Division, and missed the playoffs for the third consecutive season. Vancouver is a team that really needs help at all positions, especially considering that it scored the sixth fewest goals in the NHL while simultaneously allowing the sixth most.
