College Hockey Players Available to Sign With Canucks?

1) Andrej Sustr Third-year D, Nebraska-Omaha

Age: 22. Height: 6-8. Weight: 225. Hometown: Plzen, Czech Rep.

The skinny: He has Zdeno Chara-type size, but is considered a project ... Came over to North America in 2009 to play for the Youngstown Phantoms of the USHL and also suited up for the Czech Republic at the 2010 world junior ... His offensive stats have improved every year at Nebraska-Omaha ... He attended prospect camps for both the Pittsburgh Penguins and Tampa Bay Lightning last summer ... Plenty of NHL teams will be in the mix this time around

.

2) Rylan Schwartz Fourth-year F, Colorado College

Age: 23. Height: 5-10. Weight: 205. Hometown: Wilcox, Sask.

The skinny: He's the older brother of St. Louis Blues 20-year-old rookie Jaden Schwartz ... Whispers a year go had the Blues and Calgary Flames interested in signing Rylan, but he decided to return for his senior season ... He attended prospects camps in St. Louis and with the San Jose Sharks last summer ... Without his brother for the first time in two seasons, Rylan already has checked in with a career-high 42 points in 33 games this year ... Although last season, he scored 23 goals in 35 games, he's more of a playmaker than goal scorer.

3) Antoine Laganiere Fourth-year F, Yale

Age: 22. Height: 6-4. Weight: 215. Hometown: Ile-Cadieux, Que.

The skinny: Plenty of NHL scouts have visited Yale's Ingalls Rink this season and have come away impressed with his "pro-type body" and how much his skating has improved during his time at Yale... He attended prospect camps for the Edmonton Oilers and Penguins last summer and with the Vancouver Canucks in 2011 ... He helped the Chateauguay Patriots Midget AAA win the 2005-06 provincial Quebec title and the Patriots finished third at the Telus Cup national championship.

4) Ryan Walters Third-year F, Nebraska-Omaha

Age: 21. Height: 6-0. Weight: 196. Hometown: Rosemount, Minn.

The skinny: He is a candidate for the Hobey Baker Award, which is presented to the top player in NCAA hockey ... He has scored as many goals (21) and more points (49) this season than his first two years of U.S. college hockey combined ... He credits his vast improvement to a new off-season training regimen in the gym and on-ice sessions with a skating coach ... He is considered an intelligent player who performs well in all three zones of the rink.
