The Vancouver Canucks have added a 6-foot-3 defenceman from the WHL with 189th overall pick.
With the 189th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, Patrik Allvin and the Vancouver Canucks have selected Parker Alcos from the Western Hockey League's Edmonton Oil Kings.
Daniel Gee, a scout for Elite Prospects says that Alcos is a physical blueliner and is a 'fantastic mechanical skater'. He believes Alcos' upside would have him as a fourth or fifth defenceman in the National Hockey League one day.
Alcos, 17, appeared in 67 games for the Oil Kings last season, putting up 15 points (one goal, 14 assists), 29 penalty minutes and was a minus-seven. Expect Alcos to get a bigger role with the Edmonton Oil Kings next season and to play significant minutes on their blue line.
