However, with them having to play 19 games in 31 days, I wouldn’t be surprised if they fall to bottom 3 in the standings. Looking at the standings right now, only Buffalo is out of reach IMO.
Don’t count the Canucks out as playing well over the final 19 games. There is something to be said about being well rested.

Re: 2021 Draft Class
Apparently the Canucks are now playing 19 games in 30 days, injuries will mount they may have a decent start when games resume but the toll of the schedule will catch up to them.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 6:23 pmIt’s going to be anywhere from 5th to 11th.

OHL cancels return-to-play plan for 2020-21 season due to COVID-19
Maybe the biggest crap-shoot draft ever...
https://www.sportsnet.ca/juniors/articl ... -pandemic/The OHL, the lone Canadian major junior league not to begin a 2020-21 season, announced Tuesday that it has cancelled its return-to-play plan amid a third wave of COVID-19 in Ontario.
“We have worked tirelessly with the province and the chief medical officer of health for the past year on different scenarios and different windows of opportunity, but the reality is the conditions in Ontario have never been right to start and complete an uninterrupted, safe opportunity for players to showcase their skills,” said OHL Commissioner David Branch in a press release.
“We owe it to our players and their families to be definitive. We were committed to return and play this season, but our hopes and desires have been dashed by the cruel realities of COVID-19."
Maybe the biggest crap-shoot draft ever...

Re: 2021 Draft Class
Canucks will finish 15 th, then win the lottery, but due to the lottery changes only jump up to 5th.

Bobby McKenzies mid season rankings. Came out 5 days ago. Power 1st, Guenther 2nd, Edvinsson 3rd, Berniers 4th, Hughes 5th
Bobs rankings tend to be most legit

Kent Johnson looks interesting in or around where the Canucks may be selecting. Just starting college though. High scoring winger.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sat Apr 24, 2021 12:44 pm Bobby McKenzies mid season rankings. Came out 5 days ago. Power 1st, Guenther 2nd, Edvinsson 3rd, Berniers 4th, Hughes 5th
