Thanks to former Vancouver Canucks coach John Tortorella and his new club, the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Canucks now own two second-round picks in the 2017 NHL Draft, and seven in total.
At 33rd and 55th, the Canucks’ options will be endless. Centers, wingers, defensemen, goalies — there will be plenty of promising prospects available.
One of them is Czech forward Filip Chytil, who can play at center or on the wing.
