Benning's List @ 2018 NHL Draft (Canucks Had HAYTON & KOTKANIEMI Over HUGHES & ZADINA) Prospect News
96We made this video a few days after the 2018 NHL Entry Draft two years ago, but I wanted to revisit this topic because I don't think I did the first upload justice all those years ago. In this video, we're going to talk about the Vancouver Canucks, and Jim Benning's draft list of the top 7 prospects in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. The Canucks ultimately went with Quinn Hughes 7th overall, who has proved everyone in Vancouver right that he was a great pickup. However, news from the time suggests that Hughes wouldn't have been a high pickup on their draft list, and that a few other guys could potentially have gone instead, had the team had the choice.
The real draft order for the 1st round went as follows: Rasmus Dahlin to the Buffalo Sabres, Andrei Svechnikov to the Carolina Hurricanes, Jesperi Kotkaniemi to the Montreal Canadiens, Brady Tkachuk to the Ottawa Senators, Barrett Hayton to the Arizona Coyotes, Filip Zadina to the Detroit Red Wings, Quinn Hughes to the Vancouver Canucks, Adam Boqvist to the Chicago Blackhawks, Vitali Kravtsov to the New York Rangers, Evan Bouchard to the Edmonton Oilers, Oliver Wahlstrom and Noah Dobson to the New York Islanders, Ty Dellandrea to the Dallas Stars, Joel Farabee to the Philadelphia Flyers, Grigori Denisenko to the Florida Panthers, Martin Kaut to the Colorado Avalanche, Ty Smith to the New Jersey Devils, Liam Foudy to the Columbus Blue Jackets, Jay O'Brien to the Philadelphia Flyers, Rasmus Kupari to the Los Angeles Kings, Ryan Merkley to the San Jose Sharks, K'Andre Miller to the New York Rangers, Isac Lundeström to the Anaheim Ducks, Filip Johansson to the Minnesota Wild, Dominik Bokk to the St. Louis Blues, Jacob Bernard-Docker to the Ottawa Senators, Nicolas Beaudin to the Chicago Blackhawks, Nils Lundkvist to the New York Rangers, Rasmus Sandin to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Joe Veleno to the Detroit Red Wings, and Alexander Alexeyev to the Washington Capitals.
