Vancouver Canucks 2017 NHL Draft Profile: C Nick Suzuki

Vancouver Canucks fans have developed a consensus for the fifth-overall pick, but there are some options no one is expecting.

If the Vancouver Canucks want to target a player that seems like a reach at No. 5, they should try to trade down. Fair enough.

But if that doesn’t work out, because finding a trade partner for that kind of deal can be extremely difficult, they could end up drafting whom they like the most.

One prospect that could jump to fifth overall if the Canucks can’t trade down is the OHL Owen Sound Attack’s Nick Suzuki.
