I'm predicting the Canucks wind up 9th last, which I feel is a lucky position.
Since 2010, the 9th pick has actually been really successful.
2010 Granlund
2011 Hamilton
2012 Trouba
2013 Horvat
2014 Ehlers
2015 Meier
2016 Sergachev
2017 Rasmussen
2018 Kravtsov
2019 Zegras
2020 Rossi
2021 Perfetti
2022 Savoie
Everyone after Zegras here is too early to judge but they are all projecting well.
Everyone before Zegras including himself is like 8/10 top line player or top pair D.
you could argue its been more successful than the #3 overall pick.
Granlund > Gudbranson
Hamilton = Huberdeau
Trouba > Galchenyuk
Horvat > Drouin
Ehlers < Draisaitl
Meier > Strome
Sergachev = Dubois
Rasmussen < Heiskanen
Kravtsov < Kotkaniemi
Zegras > Dach
obviously you could make the argument that the #3 team just took the wrong player, but still it shows that a lot of good players are still available at 9.
