Vancouver Canucks FINALLY got something right + Foote gives advice to Pettersson

There haven't been many victories for the Vancouver Canucks in the 2025-26 season. 

Heck, it didn't look like they would snag a win during the 2023 draft. 

The Vancouver Canucks passed on local kid Zach Benson with the 11th overall pick in 2023 in favour of Swedish defenceman Tom Willander. While Willander had a marginalized role in the NCAA, Benson proceeded to crack the Buffalo Sabres line-up as an 18-year-old. 

On this episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy breaks down Willander's surprising rookie campaign while looking at the players they passed on in favour of Willander. He also breaks down Foote's advice to Pettersson, why Sherwood hasn't been traded, a potential Pettersson to Red Wings package and more.
