The Canucks have selected four players fourth overall in franchise history:

Jere Gillis (1977)
Bill Derlago (1978)
Jim Sandlak (1985)
Bryan Allen (1998).

That's a combined 1,034 games and 391 points for the canucks.

Sweet.

Good thing we aren't drafting 4th

I'm always fascinated to see how draft prospect hype works.

Like Glass has all of a sudden become a top 5 pick for a lot of people, but about 45-60 days ago, he was only top 10 on some lists despite pretty steady production all year long.

Makar and Mittlestadt hype was high during the last month or 2, but has settled down since the rise of Glass and Heiskanen. Not that they're falling in rankings, they're just getting a bit less attention than Glass now.

Heiskanen's rise in hype I do understand after the tournament he just had, but the rest is all very interesting to follow.

Glass went from someone who I thought was underrated 2 months ago to now seeing a lot of people/rankings have him higher than I do. Someone posts a chart comparing him and Johansen along with a quote from his coach who compared and the 2 and voilà!

I agree with you there.
Back iabout January our daily roster poster, Nighthawk brought up Glass and got "laughed at" so to speak. He suggested at that time that we should be keeping an eye on him. Not sure if anyone other than myself did, but I would be pretty thrilled if we get him.
Also started following "your guy"Necas, as much as I could, also impressive and wouldn't be upset with him either.
I also like Rasmussen, but at 5 maybe not 6 or 7 yes.

I'm still stunned. I swear I thought I looked up 5th overalls.
