Some NCAA free agent options have begun to emerge for Patrik Allvin and the Vancouver Canucks to consider over the next few months.
The Vancouver Canucks are currently focused on their quest for a second straight appearance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, with reinforcements on the way as top prospect Tom Willander is expected to leave college and sign with the team at some point before the end of the regular season.
With the regular season now wrapped up in the NCAA and playoffs beginning this weekend in most regions, some college free agents have begun to emerge for the Vancouver Canucks to consider.
NCAA free agents emerge for Vancouver Canucks to sign
In a recent article on Canucks Army, Dave Hall took a look at seven potential NCAA free agents that the Vancouver Canucks could sign this spring or summer that'll be a boost to their prospect pool.
Some of the names mentioned by Dave Hall in his article include T.J. Hughes of the University of Michigan (no relation to Quinn), Ryan Kirwan of Arizona State University and Quinn Hutson of Boston University, brother of Montreal Canadiens rookie sensation, Lane Hutson.
'Without the dynamism shown from his brothers, Quinn's game is built on hockey sense and a nose for the net, whether via long-range snipes or crafty finishes in tight. However, his skating lags behind most elite edges, potentially capping his ceiling as a pro. Still, his right shot and scoring instincts make him an intriguing flyer - perhaps as a bottom-six forward with offensive flair.' Dave Hall said about Quinn Hutson's game.
Hutson, 23, has appeared in 32 games so far this season for Boston University where he's registered 46 points (20 goals, 26 assists), 29 penalty minutes and is a plus-22.
There isn't necessarily a standout name that the Vancouver Canucks may target from Hall's list, however each of the seven players he mentions could be intriguing options to Patrik Allvin to consider as help for Abbotsford next season and beyond.
