The Canucks have been connected to Caleb Malhotra for quite some time now. In a draft that doesn’t have many top-end centers, Vancouver just goes out and gets their guy.

Malhotra has been crushing it in the OHL playoffs, putting up big performances night in and night out for Brantford. He shows some potential as a two-way presence at the next level as well. His upside may not be elite, but he’s a very safe projection and a player Vancouver can sleep soundly knowing will play meaningful NHL games.
