Vancouver Canucks target speedy winger Vit Zahejsky as late-round gem for 2025 NHL Draft
Vít Záhejský (via Getty Images) Vít Záhejský is coming up as a dark horse prospect for the Vancouver Canucks ahead of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, with a complete allotment of picks on their side. One of a handful of compelling candidates in the later rounds, Vít Záhejský — an energetic Czech forward with the Kamloops Blazers — may be a high-upside gamble for the Vancouver Canucks in the sixth round (175th overall). With his combination of speed, skill, and tireless work ethic, Vít Záhejský may be the kind of low-risk, high-reward option the Canucks want to add to their system. Vit Zahejsky's skills and speed made him Vancouver Canucks' sixth-round option View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) Vít Záhejský raised his profile with a strong second half of the season and an impressive performance at the U18 World Championship. Playing for Czechia, the 17-year-old netted four goals and contributed five points in five games, demonstrating the goal-scoring savvy and skating ability that NHL scouts covet. What makes Vít Záhejský so appealing to the Vancouver Canucks is his world-class skating and playmaking at full speed. Cited as one of the fastest skaters in the WHL this year, Vít Záhejský beat defenders in puck battles and amazed with shifty puck-handling moves regularly. His game is predicated on movement — he's always on the move in both zones, and in the defensive zone, he applies the motor to harass puck handlers and blow up plays. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Website Builder — Create a Website in Minutes — Shopify Shopify Get Offer Undo But as with most raw talents, Záhejský has aspects to work on. His offense-zone performance is still a work in progress, especially in getting the puck into high-quality areas such as the slot. His defensive zone sense can also disappear at times, with the young winger sometimes leaving his man to go after loose pucks. These are aspects that NHL developmental programs are designed to correct. Standing 5-foot-10 and 167 pounds, Záhejský doesn't necessarily offer imposing size but makes up for it with effort and potential. He's a pick that can end up paying long-term rewards for a team that wants to be patient and invest in his development. Also read: Basile Sansonnens Memorial Cup performance raises questions for Vancouver Canucks With a strong draft class coming forward, the Vancouver Canucks can go for the upside in the deeper rounds — and Vít Záhejský fits many of the criteria. His combination of speed, competitiveness, and raw talent makes him a tantalizing sixth-round prospect who might develop into a surprise NHL contributor with proper instruction. Although he's not ready for prime time, Záhejský is precisely the type of prospect every team wishes to find late on draft day.

Canucks 2024–25 Memorable Matches 4: December 16, 2024
Dec 16, 2024; Vancouver, British Columbia, CAN; Vancouver Canucks forward Danton Heinen (20) and Vancouver Canucks forward Kiefer Sherwood (44) celebrate Sherwood's third goal of the game against the Colorado Avalanche during the third period at Rogers Arena. Mandatory Credit: Bob Frid-Imagn Images Welcome back to another Memorable Match from the Vancouver Canucks' 2024–25 season. Last time, we looked at the team's match against the Detroit Red Wings on December 1. This week, we'll take a look at Kiefer Sherwood's December 16 domination of the Colorado Avalanche. Advertisement Latest From THN's Vancouver Canucks Site: Why Lack Of Head Coaching Experience Should Not Deter The Canucks From Hiring Manny Malhotra Vancouver Canucks At The 2025 IIHF World Championship: May 12 Report: Canucks Projected To Narrow Head Coaching Search This Week The 2024–25 season was a spectacular one for Sherwood, who hit career-highs in goals (19), assists (21), points (40), and more. His NHL record-breaking hit total on the season has been spoken about at length, earning him the fan-voted title of the team's unsung hero. The Canucks were high on Sherwood long before they signed him in free-agency, noting that their first-round playoff series against the Nashville Predators opened their eyes to his skills. Advertisement Early on in the season, Sherwood got off to a bang, expressing his confidence in possibly breaking the NHL season hit record. By December 15, Sherwood was already at eight goals, six assists, and 179 hits. On December 16, Sherwood broke his career-high in goals scored in one season. Previously, he'd scored 10 in 68 games with Nashville in the 2023–24 season. On the 16th, he scored his first NHL hat trick to set a new personal record. His three goals propelled the team past the Avalanche, whose only goal came from Valeri Nichuskin. Sherwood's effort in this game resulted in fans starting a 'Kief-er Sher-wood' chant. After the game, he'd discussed how hearing the chant was 'a pretty special honour. 'I was trying to take it in,' he said at the time. 'I really appreciate the fan support. Obviously, passion is something that Vancouver is known for, and that's pretty cool. I will definitely remember it.'
