FILM ROOM:
Caleb Malhotra represents the best bet to be an impact centre at the NHL level in this draft. A complete player with separating vision, daring handling, defensive work rate, & projectable physicality, he could anchor a franchise. #NHLDraft

Despite early production issues, #Canucks Caleb Malhotra has looked dangerous in his minutes across his first handful of NCAA games.
He's creating advantages with his hands, getting looks as a pass supporter, and finding ways to get inside.
Scouting Van at PG tonight and tomorrow for @eliteprospects .
Blake Chorney, Louis Oscar Holowaychuk (‘10), Crosby Mateychuk (‘10), and drafted prospects Joe Iginla, and Mathis Preston are some of the notable players taking part.
Here's a scouting report by @MitchLBrown on new #Canucks player Brandon Buhr.
Speed, size, and skill combo -- bottom-six upside.
Buhr was the fourth-ranked NCAA free agent in the Elite Prospects 2026 NCAA Free Agent Guide.
More reports here: eliteprospects.com/player/56…
Here are Buhr's tool grades (on a 9-point scale with 5 being NHL average).

Aiden Kelly (@BulldogsOHL & 2028 NHL Draft) has been electric in his four OHL games.
He's a dynamic advantage creator with high-end vision and strong contact skills. He's been the Bulldogs' best player at only 16 years old.
It's super early, but Buium looks to have taken the step Vancouver needed him to make over the offseason.
He looks more and more like the player who dominated the NCAA.

YURI VLASENKO 💣
Our No. 3 ranked 2010-born Russian defenceman lays the boom in his WHL debut with the @SCBroncos and drops the gloves!
Scouting Penticton versus PG for @eliteprospects.
Roberts Naudiņš (#19 on our latest board), Brooks DeMars, the WHL debut of Thor Lifiton (WHL 2025 4th-overall), and more.
Really interesting note about Willander identifying his handling as being a bottleneck. It's something I was worried about in the past; I was a bit too harsh when I wrote this two-ish years ago, but it was a factor.
I think his game will open up drastically this season.
What I saw at Vancouver Canucks training camp on Manny Malhotra’s first day.
