Center Depth & Center Prospect Pool

[SackofHammers]

I think one of the Centre's on this years draft board that's not getting enough attention is Cody Glass. He is doing exceptionally well for a 17 (almost 18 year old) in the WHL.

He's flying a bit under the radar, but has really shot up the rankings and if the Canucks fall into the 6-10 range for the draft rather than the 1-5 range I would be super excited if he was picked.

I'm a big fan of Canadian content.

None of the bolded players play centre though...

But they can, and that's the point.

Granlund is above Megna, Gaunce, and Chaput by a bit.. Although he'll most likely be playing on the wing.
