The logical move for the Vancouver Canucks is to draft a defenceman, but perhaps a more intelligent move is to draft the best player available. Brady Tkachuk is very likely to fall in the draft. And if he were to fall into the Canucks’ lap at number seven they shouldn’t hesitate to draft the tough, young winger.
Tkachuk has been a highly ranked player throughout the year, TSN’s Director of Scouting Craig Button has had him as high as number two on his rankings. Currently, you are starting to see Tkachuk slip into the five to nine rank.
