[Hans @S7Dsn]

Caleb Malhotra has one of the most fascinating statistical profiles in the draft.

BCHL (DY-1): 0.59 P/GP
OHL (DY): 1.25 P/GP, then 1.73 P/GP in the playoffs

I compared his production jump using NHLe to similar Cs taken in the 1st round:

Ryan Johnson said they’re “fully prepared” to invest more in the #Canucks analytics department. Says he wants to do whatever he can to support director Aiden Fox with more resources or people

[Harman Dayal @harmandayal2]

Ryan Johnson says Cammi Granato and Emilie Castonguay will remain in their roles as AGMs #Canucks

#Canucks mock draft with @scottcwheeler: Who will Vancouver take with 4 top-50 picks at the 2026 NHL Entry Draft? https://t.co/MlNS8b6xVK via @NYTimes

[Harman Dayal @harmandayal2]

@kempallen @shaynagoldman_ Slavin is elite, but he was in the NCAA over a decade ago. That's a bit further out than what I meant when I said "in the last several years"

[Harman Dayal @harmandayal2]

The number of elite defencemen who have developed out of the NCAA in the last several years is pretty insane:

• Cale Makar
• Quinn Hughes
• Lane Hutson
• Zach Werenski
• Jake Sanderson
• Adam Fox
• Jackson LaCombe
• Brock Faber
• Charlie McAvoy
