“The Canucks drafted Tage Thompson or Adam Lowry"

The Vancouver Canucks may have found one of the biggest steals of the 2026 NHL Draft. Second-round pick Brooks Rogowski has been generating plenty of buzz since being selected 33rd overall, and it's easy to see why.

Standing at a towering 6-foot-7 and over 230 pounds, Rogowski isn't just a physical specimen—he's showing surprising mobility, a strong two-way game, and the kind of hockey IQ that has scouts believing there's far more offensive upside to unlock.

On today's episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down why Rogowski has quickly become one of Vancouver's most intriguing prospects.

We discuss what stood out during development camp, why the Canucks prioritized his combination of size, skating, and character, and whether he could eventually become the big matchup center this organization has been searching for.

We'll also compare his ceiling, talk about his timeline to the NHL, and explain why fans should be excited about his long-term development.

Could Brooks Rogowski become one of the defining picks of the Canucks' new era?
