The first round of the NHL Entry Draft is always interesting. It garners the most attention and can mean everything and anything. Selections made in the top 10 of the draft are the most important since those teams get the first crack at the best players in the draft.
As you move towards the end of the day one, probabilities of success decrease, as do expectations. Vancouver Canucks fans should understand the concept, given the team’s mixed results with their top six picks.
For example, a pick like Brock Boeser had nowhere close to the expectations set at sixth overall in 2014.
