Sounds like the Canucks are closing in on finalizing Manny Malhotra’s coaching staff.
Candidates have begun receiving word they didn’t land the job, a sign the process is nearing the finish line.
This is the first time in Canucks history they've picked four players in the first two rounds of a draft.
Caleb Malhotra
Adam Novotny
Brooks Rogowski
Nicklas Aaram-Olsen
Mathis Preston is a special, special talent.
It would be absolutely UNFORGIVABLE if they pass on him at 33 tomorrow.
An complete layup to draft an absolute dynamo.
Mathis Preston is the fastest player in the draft, has high end puck skills and a high end shot.
He has real star potential, and grew up a #Canucks fan
Please RT this so @fr_aquilini sees this,
Come on Franky, drafting this guy would be a home run for ticket sales!!!!
Take everything you hear at this draft with a grain of salt, folks.
That said, the longer the day goes on, the more confident I become that the Vancouver Canucks won't be selecting Caleb Malhotra today.
Drance: Multiple league sources told me this morning that Canucks were actively motivated to get an Elias Pettersson trade done.
One source said they were desperate to get it done.
Drance mentions he doesn't think it's imminent.
