The Vancouver Canucks are preparing for the 2016 NHL Draft. But since we still have some time before June 24th, we will take a look at past drafts as well. Some like to look back and think about what could have been, others don’t give a damn, with their eyes on the future. Since you decided to give this post a shot, you probably care — so off we go.
The system is simple: any player drafted after the Canucks’ given draft pick and before the next one, is eligible to be redrafted. In other words, for Vancouver’s 10th-overall pick, I could not select 105th-overall selection Keith Yandle, because Yandle was drafted after the Canucks’ 51st pick.
