Rumours: Canucks Would've Drafted Elias Pettersson 1ST OVERALL In 2017 NHL Entry Draft? / Prospects
We're referring to a near-three-year-old Pass It To Bulis article for today's video, as we discuss the idea of the Vancouver Canucks being willing to draft Elias Pettersson in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
Back in the draft, the real tale of the tape saw the Canucks taking Petey 5th overall, after dropping from 2nd overall to 5th overall, with the New Jersey Devils, Philadelphia Flyers, and Dallas Stars winning the draft lotteries. The Devils took Nico Hischier, the Flyers Nolan Patrick, and the Stars went with Miro Heiskanen. The Colorado Avalanche, who dropped from 1st overall to 4th overall in the lottery, selected the AJHL's Cale Makar.
The idea of taking Pettersson 1st would've shocked the hockey world, but in hindsight, it may have been the right decision.
