Canucks draft pick from Hughes trade locked in after Vegas advances

Vancouver secures 24th overall pick for next month's draft in Buffalo.

· 1 min read · HOC Vancouver Desk

The Vancouver Canucks will have 10 picks at next month's NHL Draft in Buffalo — their most since 2003. The franchise has two first-round picks this year thanks to the Quinn Hughes trade. On Thursday, Vegas Golden Knights clinched a Western Conference Final berth, which locked in Vancouver's 24th overall selection. The Canucks haven't had this many draft picks in a single year in over two decades.
