Hi guys, it’s CanucksArmy. It’s this week’s CanucksArmy mailbag. CanucksArmy let’s go. @failsonmcdonald for the Monday mailbag any chance Bokk slides to the Canucks at 37 and who else could fall to the Canucks their — canucks3322 (@MatthewDrewitz) May 19, 2018 Not a chance. Draft analysts seem divided on Dominik Bokk; I’ve seen him as…
For the 66th ranked prospect in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, we hop across the pond to Sweden for centre Oskar Back. The pivot listed as Oscar or Oskar in various places, but we are talking about the same guy. Back is a safe player who does the little things well. He may lack a…
After heading to the WHL for the 68th ranked prospect, we find our way back to the QMJHL with plucky forward Gabriel Fortier landing in the 67th slot of our CanucksArmy prospect rankings. The Lachine native played a key role on the penalty kill for Team Canada en route to a Gold Medal at the…

A highly touted prospect heading into this year, Alexander Khovanov was looking to make hay in the QMJHL in his draft season. Unfortunately, he ended up becoming ill and missed a large portion of his year with the Wildcats. Given that he didn’t play for 9 months and was adjusting to the North American size…

The development of top prospect Thatcher…
