The Vancouver Canucks are ranked No. 21 in the 2025 NHL prospect pool rankings, a drop from No. 18 last year. They have two strong prospects and about a dozen others, resulting in an average pool. The Canucks did not have first or second-round picks in the 2024 NHL Draft, contributing to their lower ranking. Key prospects include Jonathan Lekkerimaki, who has shown significant improvement, and Tom Willander, a promising defenseman. Other notable players in the Canucks' system include Elias Pettersson and Aatu Räty, both of whom are developing in the AHL. The team's prospect pool is divided into three tiers, indicating varying levels of potential among players.
