The Canucks currently hold the following picks in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft: * 1st round, 14th overall (from the New York Islanders) * 2nd round, 34th overall (from the New York Islanders) * 3rd round, 66th overall (own pick) * 4th round, 98th overall (own pick) * 5th round, 129th overall (own pick) * 6th round, 161st overall (own pick) * 7th round, 193rd overall (own pick) The Canucks’ draft position in the first round has improved significantly since the start of the season. The Islanders’ first-round pick was originally projected to be in the 20-25 range, but the Islanders have struggled this season and are now projected to finish near the bottom of the standings. This means that the Canucks are likely to get a top-15 pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. The Canucks’ other draft picks are all in the middle of their respective rounds. The Canucks have a good chance of adding some talented players to their prospect pool with these picks. The 2024 NHL Entry Draft is scheduled to be held in Nashville, Tennessee.
