Following the first phase of the NHL draft lottery, the Vancouver Canucks still have a chance at landing Alexis Lafrenière first overall.

While the Vancouver Canucks are still a ways away from the one-in-eight opportunity of winning the first overall pick, of which could quickly diminish if they defeat the Minnesota Wild in their play-in matchup, fans can’t help but wonder how the 18-year-old phenom would look alongside Elias Pettersson, Quinn Hughes and Brock Boeser.
