It is no secret that the Vancouver Canucks will need a successor for franchise centre Henrik Sedin. And they will need one soon.
In most cases, the only way to get one is through the draft. Players like Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid, Patrice Bergeron, Nicklas Backstrom, Steven Stamkos or Ryan Getzlaf were all drafted by their current club. Once you get a true No. 1 centre, you don’t trade him, and you do everything in your power to keep him with your franchise for as long as possible.
