Paid the 34th and 50th to grab him, so definitely have to hope this kid pans out.

Slick stickhandler. Vanacker can cleanly beat goalies with his shot. He’s a bit undersized, but makes up for it in nearly every other facet of his game. Could use some more top end speed, but he makes good use of space and knows how to maneuver into openings. Plays with a high motor and is always hustling.

If they really like someone tomorrow, they have the draft capital to move up and take it. Who cares
super competitive player. deceivingly skilled. one of the best takeaways artists Ive seen in a long time. pretty much the perfect third liner if all goes well
I think he's going to be a better NHLer than his teammate Lardis

It says he’s 6’1, is that really undersized? Or is he just skinny right now?

Guy is a f***ing gamer on top of it. Played his entire season with a torn labrum last year.

I only learned who this guy is about 10 minutes ago, but him and Lardis are going to Bedard’s future linemates.

Sounds like recipe for failed rebuild then
Vanacker has no top line upside and questionable to even be 2nd line talent

You literally know next to nothing about him. Just stop.

Over a PPG with a torn labrum... And 55 PIMS, so he's got some jam to his game.
Another pick that seems high risk, high reward. I'm good with this one from what I've read and seen so far.

I don't know about top line, but he absolutely projects to be a middle sixer. Nothing questionable.

We can have a stacked middle 6 with no one having first line upside
Dont see any of Nazar, Moore, Vanacker, Boisvert, Kantserov turning into a 1st liner

Nazar definitely will. And next years draft is much more loaded with forwards. That will be the draft the Hawks will get another top 6 guy.

Found this combine interview. He had a sling during the combine. He apparently played hurt, more than realized and still lead his team strongly scoring. But maybe an impact on the inconsistency knocks... also probably a reason he needs some weight if he really is 160
