Could Vancouver Take a Defensman in the Upcoming Draft?

[Philliefan 69]

Vancouver has been struggling. A team with some good young talent now finds itself (at the time of writing) just 7 points off of last place in the league, with an extra game played. The Wolves are tied for having the fewest rostered defensemen in the league, with only 4. With 5 of the top 10 prospects being defensemen, General Manager Beaviss and co. look primed to take one in the first round, assuming they hold onto their first-round pick. In fact, with their own first- and second-round picks as well as Moscow’s second-round pick, it would not be surprising to see the Wolves either trade up for a 2nd first-rounder or use all three of the aforementioned picks to climb higher on the draft board. Considering the Malmo Nighthawks - currently 2nd-to-last in the league - have only their own first-rounder and Seattle’s fourth for the entire S68 draft, and those Seattle Bears - 3rd-to-last in the league - have only their own first-rounder in the first 3 rounds of the draft, it would make plenty of sense for either of those two teams to pick up more draft capital while Vancouver uses their assets to snag one of the best prospects in the draft at a position where they have little depth.
