In this special crossover episode with Trevor Beggs from Locked On Canucks, we discuss the top draft targets for the Vancouver Canucks in the first round of the 2026 NHL Draft. At the top end, we break down how Gavin McKenna, Ivar Stenberg, Carson Carels, Caleb Malhotra, and Keaton Verhoeff would fit in in the Rockies. We then shift our gaze to the draft picks in the 20-40 range, where a variety of high-upside talents should be on the board, highlighted by the Ruck twins, Liam and Markus.
