Vancouver Canucks: Jett Woo is the next core defenceman

The Vancouver Canucks have plenty of young talent in their system, but up until the 2018 draft, you could not say that about their blue line. Olli Juolevi was the only player touted as a potential top four solution. In just two rounds of the draft, the Canucks would solve this problem. Enter Quinn Hughes and Jett Woo.

Drafted seventh and 37th overall, respectively, the Canucks would add top four skill and strength to a blue line severely lacking in both. Hughes has already made his NHL debut and impressed with his skating, zone exits and maturity beyond his years.
