If the Canucks draft Liam Ruck with the 24th pick, it makes all the sense in the world to draft his brother, Markus, at the start of the second round. Markus led the CHL points this year with 108, while his 87 assists were tied for the third-most by a WHL player in the 21st century. Listed at 5’11”, 167 lbs, Ruck is the 24th-ranked North American Skater according to NHL Central Scouting for the 2026 draft.
