Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

But he's a top line player for them right now.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

He's on their PP1.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

He's detail oriented.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

He's 6'1.5".

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

He has room to get stronger.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

He's one of the smartest players offensively and defensively in the draft class.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

He's got more skill than I realized coming into this season.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

And Malholtra is in play, I truly believe, as early as second or third overall in the draft right now.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

So Malholtra is absolutely a name that you guys should be talking about in terms of the Canucks.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

On top of the connection to his dad, obviously.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

Yeah, I honestly think in the eyes of NHL scouts, he's already taken that leap.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

I think we're talking about similar to what happened with Beckett Seneke.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

Now, Beckett was viewed kind of as a late first rounder entering his draft class.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

Caleb wasn't even viewed as a first rounder.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

He wasn't even viewed coming out of the BCHL as a second rounder.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

He did not have a great year in the BCHL last year, even for a 16-year-old player.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

But I think you realize pretty quickly on this season that he plays better with more skilled players that last year was his first year away.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

And I've spoken with Caleb and his family about this.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

But last year was his first at 16 years old was his first time moving away from home.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

And there's a lot that came with going out west and playing in the BCHL.
