The Vancouver Canucks have an interesting prospect group, and now Braeden Cootes and Wilson Bjorck are invited to a top NHL Summer Showcase. Braeden Cootes was a top pick of the Vancouver Canucks in the 2025 NHL Draft, and quickly he's become a fan favourite, <a href='https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/canucks-sign-braeden-cootes-to-three-year-entry-level-contract/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>with the team inking him to a three-year Entry Level Deal</a> shortly after being drafted. Now, he's catching attention around the league, as he, along with Wilson Bjorck, a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft have now been invited to the NHL's World Juniors Summer Showcase. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/canucks/status/1949515168746238158'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Cootes, a native of Alberta will continue to make his case for a spot on the Team Canada 2025 World Juniors squad, while Bjorck is firming as an intriguing piece for what could be a highly competitive Swedish squad at the tournament. Last season, Cootes had 63 points in 60 games played for the WHL's Seattle Thunderbirds, and given the two-way game that he brings to the ice, he could be a very valuable piece for Canada at the tournament, with the Canucks already valuing him highly as a potential middle-six centre of the future. As for Bjorck, he went highly underrated in the draft process this year, and after putting up 67 points in 43 games for Djurgardens Jr. last season, if he can continue to develop physically, he is certainly a piece for the Canucks fans to watch moving forward. Ultimately, this just goes to show what a promising prospect group the Canucks have been building in recent years, and if the duo of Cootes and Bjorck among others from this draft class pan out, the future remains very bright in Vancouver.
