Looking at the 2020, 2021 draft... it's still absolutely how much Benning absolutely wasted despite how bad the team was those two years.
Literally two entire draft classes where we're going to have nothing to show for it. 2021 is absolutely disgusting. We could've walked away from that draft with Guenther and Stankoven, but nope, we just get OEL's caphit for the rest of eternity and Danilla f***ing Klimovich.
To Allvin's credit, he's done a fantastic job of restocking the cupboards inspite of the mess Benning left behind. If you look back at 2022, the Canucks added a ton of good prospects that year under Allvin.
The 2022 ended up being really good for us despite having just 6 picks. Lekkerimaki, Petterson, and Kudryavtsev were all big wins and all of three of them will see NHL ice time. Aman and Bains were also added as free agent prospects.
2023 was also fantastic draft for us with Willander, Brzustewicz, Mynio, and Alriksson. The latter three being fantastic value for where they were picked. On top of that, we added Hirose, McWard, Sasson and Tolopila in free agency, with McWard and Sasson looking like they'll play NHL games sooner than later.
