If the Canucks made the playoffs in 2020, they instantly give up the pick. If they missed the playoffs, they keep the 2020 pick, but pick in 2021 is not subject to any protections, so if the Canuck;s pick win the lottery, TB/NJ get that pick in the top 3.Ah I thought it was the Canucks choice which year to give up.
You saw with Ott/SJ what happens in a worse case scenario when you give up a pick that is not protected. Ott gives up the pick that becomes Byram and SJ gives up the pick that becomes Stutzle.
If I'm looking at guys who are rated around 10, I am intrigued by Raty, the big 6'2 C from Finland. As well as Fabian Lysell, the RW from Sweden, is noted as great skater, who can shoot the puck and is a RHS, something the Canucks don't have coming up as Lind/Lockwood aren't expected to be big scorers in the NHL. Further down is Corson Ceulmans, a RHD from the AJHL who is a 6'2 offensive Dman. But, this is a very odd draft as there are players who won't get many viewings this draft year. So, going to be a lot of variance in draft lists between teams.
