Canucks Select Brendan Gaunce at #26
Jun 22, 2012, 22:45 EDT
With the 26th pick in the 2012 NHL entry draft, the Canucks selected centre Brendan Guance from the Belleville Bulls of the Ontario Hockey League. Gaunce fits in with what Laurence Gilman told the Press the team was looking for: "If we were to assess a need we have, it’d be at forward, perhaps centre in particular." Gaunce tips the scales at close to 200 pounds, so he’s another in a string of big forwards whom the Canucks have drafted in the past two years, and he plays in the OHL making him the third first round pick that the Canucks have selected from the Ontario Hockey League since Gillis took over as General Manager.
Here’s Gaunce’s statistics and NHLE numbers:
| Goals | Assists | Pts | NHLE Goals | NHLE Assists | NHLE Points | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Brendan Gaunce | 28 | 40 | 68 | 10 | 14 | 24 |
