I've seen this narrative before. Back-to-backs on the road, missing two key players due to injuries, Henrik playing with one arm, and the Canucks pull off two regulation wins. Now they'll head home and lay a goose egg against the Leafs because they're the Canucks.
I do think they should go for a top 5 pick, though. They have some solid prospects, but lack a true franchise player to succeed the Sedins. Unless they somehow land Stamkos, they'll have to draft him. And while a pick in the teens may end up as one, the odds are better if you pick higher.
