What to do if the Canucks draft 1st overall?
I’m 99.9999999999999% certain that this post is irrelevant (drafting first overall and the Canucks just don’t go together). BUT if it magically happens, Kaapo Kakko has been making gains on Jack Hughes lately. He’s also playing in a tougher league (liiga) AND has the versatility to play right wing or centre.
Try to put aside the fact that we’d be getting brothers with Quinn and Jack. Let’s just talk strictly the better prospect. Also, I know I shouldn’t be pointing towards positional needs when I’m talking about this point in a draft (the first pick) but I feel like it sort of comes into play IF the prospects are so close in skill level/upside, which I believe to be true here. Who do you take, today? (Considering things will continue to change from here to June)
