After a very strong draft in 2013 where Canucks drafted future star players Horvat and Shinkurak in the first round this could be one of GMMG most important drafts, with the possibility of a pick in the 4-10 range as well as another pick in the top 40. MG has to hit his first two pick out of the park. These need to be surefire players who can become canucks top 6 players in the future, or a #1 or #2D.
Also Vancouver may have the possibility to gain another pick, in the 25-29 range (NJD get 30th) with a Ryan Kesler trade. Aside from that added pick, Vancouver will need to gain a top prospect as well as a young NHL ready player.
Coming out of this draft Canucks could gain:
A top 10 pick
A late 25-29 pick
A top 40 2nd round pick
An young NHL ready player
A top prospect
The 2014 draft has the potential to set this team in the direction of a quick rebuild to a cup contender in 3-5 years or to a long 8 years of rebuild and still no playoffs, aka "The Oilers Way" If the Canucks hit a home run in the 2015 draft as well, a very bright future could be awaiting this team, many years of exciting cup runs, and hopefully Vancouver Canucks first Stanley Cup. Hopefully more than just one.
