With their first of two sixth-round picks, the Vancouver Canucks made a high-upside bet on Anthony Romani in his second year of draft eligibility.

The Vancouver Canucks didn't have a lot of draft picks heading into the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, but they did have two picks in the sixth round, allowing them to make a couple of late-round bets.

Romani has fantastic all-around tools, with slick hands, a dangerous shot, and excellent vision. He causes defencemen nightmares when he attacks in transition. Really, Romani profiles more like a first-round pick than a sixth-round pick but there's one major caveat: he's in his second year of draft eligibility.
