That prospect pool is average to below average.
It only looks exciting when you focus on potential alone and assume every player will reach their max.
Almost every other team in the league has a prospect pool with equally "exciting" prospects.

Wow, that is the most prospects we've had in the tournament for as long as I can remember. Stoked to see Woo, Madden, Pod, and Hog!
Madden is a '99 born so he can't play in the WJC. Only kids born in 2000 and younger can play.

Imagine thinking this is a solid group of prospects in 2019.

It's a good prospect pool. I get it, we haven't won shit and haven't made the playoffs in 5 of the last 6 seasons. Things have sucked since like 2013.
The negativity is expected from Canucks fans, but our prospect pool looks great. It's better than it has been in a long time, and yet people are still negative.

No shit it’s better than it was before.
This team f***ing sucks and the NHL bails out incompetence by giving bad teams , high picks.

Considering you left out the 2019 crew and 5 of those players are on the Canucks in the next 2 years. Yeah pretty solid.

If you had to bet, how many of these 15 prospects would you predict would play more than 80 games in the NHL? My guess would be four, but I tend to be optimistic when it comes to prospects.
It does look like the World Juniors will be entertaining for Canucks fans.
Our current prospect pool is nothing special, but that's because our best prospects have all recently graduated to the NHL.

Focht has been invited to the Team Canada Summer Development Camp/Showcase, so he’s a possibility as well.

According to this story from Pass it to Bulis, Karel Plasek is eligible to play for the Czech Republic:
The Canucks bet on upside with 6th-round pick Karel Plasek
He's positive about the pick, as the article makes clear.

It's a wolf v2.0
It's a good junior prospect pool, which is nice for the WJC. In terms of making the NHL the list worth mentioning shrinks a lot. From the last 4 drafts where we've picked bottom 10 each year we have:
Graduated: Pettersson, Hughes*
Potential impact players: Podkolzin
Promising but need more time: Hoglander, Woo, Madden, DiPietro
Depth players: Lockwood, Juolevi
And that's about it. Yes it's a good prospect pool, the problem is it really isn't good enough considering where we've been finishing.
