One year after being drafted by the Canucks, Braeden Cootes reflects on the surreal moment his name was called—and how much his family’s joy, especially his usually quiet grandpa’s excitement, meant more than anything. He admits he suspected the Canucks would pick him, but the reality still left him breathless. Looking back, his first development camp was a dream come true—immersing him in NHL life with ice time, media, and Vancouver vibes. Last season was packed: three NHL games, World Juniors with Canada, and WHL playoffs. Now, he’s reconnecting with Canucks prospects and soaking up wisdom from the Sedins. Up next: intense training near Edmonton, Team Canada’s World Juniors camp, and a relentless push to peak physically for training camp—with even more confidence than last year. The NHL Entry Draft kicks off this Friday at 4 PM Pacific. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Richard Seeley, new GM of the Abbotsford Canucks, is revolutionizing how the AHL operates—focusing on holistic player development and seamless NHL alignment. With eight years at the Ontario Reign, he knows firsthand how vital the AHL is for grooming not just athletes, but entire support staff. His first move? Deep-dive into Abbotsford’s culture, honoring Ryan Johnson’s Calder Cup legacy while ensuring every coach, trainer, and staff member is primed for NHL readiness. Seeley believes true growth comes from collaboration, not command—especially for high-draft prospects needing habits that translate to the pros. He was drawn to the Canucks’ leadership, particularly the Sedin twins and Ryan Johnson, for their “we” mentality, which fuels his mission: build confidence, lay foundations, and prepare young stars for the next level.
