- The Vancouver Canucks selected centre Braeden Cootes 15th overall in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft held on Friday via video conferencing.
- Cootes, born in Sherwood Park, Alberta, grew up an Oilers fan but said he is now fully focused on being a Canuck after the Oilers lost the 2025 Stanley Cup Final.
- Last season, Cootes served as captain of the Seattle Thunderbirds, leading the team in scoring with a combined total of 63 points over 60 contests, and acknowledged the influence of former captains Jordan Gustafson and Lucas Ciona in shaping the team's leadership and culture.
- Cootes said he wants to be "a bit more dynamic offensively," added he learned he can raise his game, and declared, "All I care about is winning."
- After placing just outside the playoff spots in the Western Conference last year, the Canucks are counting on Cootes and new addition Evander Kane to strengthen their lineup as free agency begins on July 1.
