The Vancouver Canucks went into the draft ready to make some news. We knew that one of Eddie Lack or Jacob Markstrom would be traded. There were plenty of rumors surround Kevin Bieksa. However, the news the Canucks eventually made wasn’t that big. Bieksa is still in Vancouver and we will have to wait more than a few years to see what the Canucks have in their return for Lack.
As far as the draft goes, the Canucks had seven picks and had a good balance of selecting from positions.
