Vancouver Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford, right, speaks as general manager Patrik Allvin listens during the NHL hockey team's end of season news conference, in Vancouver, on Monday, April 21, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck LOS ANGELES — The Vancouver Canucks picked Braeden Cootes of the Western Hockey League's Seattle Thunderbirds with the 15th overall selection in the NHL draft Friday. Cootes produced 26 goals and 37 assists in 60 games with the Thunderbirds this season. The five-foot-11, 183-pound forward from Sherwood Park, Alta., is also Seattle's captain. Vancouver finished 10th in the Western Conference last season, six points behind the playoff cutline.

The Canucks have five remaining draft picks, one for each round except the fourth. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 27, 2025.

NHL Draft Live: What are the Canucks going to do in Round One?
Friday will be a consequential day in the future of the Vancouver Canucks , one way or another. As things stand, they hold the 15th overall pick in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft. The general feeling is they'll trade the pick — GM Patrik Allvin admitted earlier this week that he's had talks about trading back and he and president Jim Rutherford have also said in the past they recognize they'll likely have to make a trade to grab the second-line centre they covet, which surely will come at the cost of their first round pick. We'll see how that goes… Check back here as the afternoon progresses — the draft is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. — and we'll give you our Canucks-centred analysis as the round progresses. pjohnston@
