The MLB version may have been the hardest but I finally went undefeated in the big 4. #MLB #undefeated

[Jaden Teja @jadenteja_]

The more I look at the #Canucks picks, the more I love Adam Novotny. The kid has serious top 6 upside. Getting him at 24 may be one of the steals of the draft. #NHLDraft

[Jaden Teja @jadenteja_]

@Adamkblat That is concerningly low

With the 2026 NHL Entry Draft now concluded, catch up on each of the #Canucks' nine picks via our draft tracker:

@drsmk0 The thing is next years draft is center and winger heavy. Obviously a lot will change by then.

But I think the Canucks still need to add more on the backend, Buium and Willander aren’t enough. They passed on Reid and Carels, but also passing on Villeneuve was a bit concerning.

[Jaden Teja @jadenteja_]

Wayyy too late to be taking their first defenseman. A little concerning for me. #Canucks #NHLDraft

[Adam Kierszenblat @Adamkblat]

The #Canucks have selected defenceman Samuel Eriksson 184th overall

[Thomas Drance @ThomasDrance]

Canucks have now made 9 selections at the 2026 NHL entry draft and have no picks left.

Vitals if they’re done for the day:

- 2 forwards under 6-foot-2
- 5 forwards over 6-foot-2
- 1 pick trade (2026 6th for 2027 5th)
- 1 goalie
- 1 D-man
- 1 B.C.-born player
- 1 WHL player

@Adamkblat @LachInTheCrease Jokic with the Taco Bell commercial all over again

[Adam Kierszenblat @Adamkblat]

There should be a rule that says Eric Tulsky is only allowed to trade down a max of twice per draft

[Noah Strang @noahstrang_]

#Canucks have a clear target in this draft so far: size.

- Malhotra is 6'2"
- Novotny is 6'1"
- Rogowski is 6'7"
- Aaram-Olsen is 6'1"
- Bryzgalov is 6'4"

Same number of skaters drafted 6'4" or taller as under 6'2"

[Cam Robinson @Hockey_Robinson]

Oooh I like that for Vancouver at 41.

Nicklas Aaram-Olsen is a shooter through and through.

[Gino Hard @GinoHard_]

One of the coolest stories you'll see from this Draft 👏

Jaxon Cover grew up playing roller hockey in the Cayman Islands and didn't start organized ice hockey until he was 13.

Just five years later, he's a first-round NHL Draft pick 🤯

[Rob Williams @RobTheHockeyGuy]

This might be the best view of Vancouver’s soccer ball 🌎⚽️🌕

[Jaden Teja @jadenteja_]

@tyson_cole @jacobfraser_9 Awesome work dude!

[Jaden Teja @jadenteja_]

#Canucks Draft Grade for me is a B-

I’d still rather have taken Reid at 3 and I wish they were able to trade DeBrusk for another first.

.@TheHockeyNews scouting report on Adam Novotny, the 24th overall pick by the #Canucks

“He’s a big, strong kid…he’s a goal scorer but does it with an edge to his game…his details are so good.”

Best Case: J.J. Peterka

#Canucks get themselves a kid who can put the puck in the net

[Cam Robinson @Hockey_Robinson]

Top ranked player remaining on my board, AND Elite Prospects Ambassador, Adam Novotny heads to Vancouver.

That's a great pick.
