2026 NHL Draft: Despite Horrid Lottery Luck, The Canucks Still Have Plenty Of Options

Since the inception of the NHL draft lottery, there hasn’t been a team in the league that has had worse luck than the Vancouver Canucks. They have never jumped up the draft board when they’ve been in the lottery, and they’ve dropped more than any other team in the history of the lottery.

It would almost be impressive if it weren’t so depressing for Vancouver fans.

The reality is that the Canucks may not have won the lottery, but they are still in an excellent position to make a big impact on their future as they start their rebuild. They have options for what they can do with the pick. Whether it’s a trade of the pick or taking a player, there are a number of options for the Canucks.

Even though the Vancouver Canucks continue to have terrible luck in the draft lottery, they still have plenty of options that can boost the franchise's rebuild.
