With the 2019 NHL Draft set to go down tonight in Vancouver, Ryan Biech joined Yahoo! Sports to discuss what to expect from Jim Benning on the draft floor in front of the Canucks’ hometown crowd.
The Canucks own the 10th overall pick and have a variety of holes to fill in their system with their top pick and other draft picks beyond that. Biech mentions than the Canucks badly need some quality winger prospects along with a right-handed defenceman added to their prospect pool.
