With the 80th pick, Flames select Aydar Suniev (played with Penticton in the BCHL). It's always Suniev in Calgary.

With the 112th selection, Flames select Jaden Lipinski - Another player from Vancouver (Giants), BC is a fertile hunting ground for Conroy.

Canucks take D Hunter Brzustewicz in the 3rd round.

Hunter Brzustewicz has great puck-moving habits and deception in his game, which enables to be a force in transition. Brzustewicz can constantly make forecheckers miss with fake changes of direction, timely spins, and by moving the puck before they can get to it. He attacks space to fire on net and manipulates defenders to get shots through and opens passing lanes to the slot. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide

There is this as well.


I like the stick work to deceive the Defenseman and the goalie. Then that crisp pass for the Onetimer

 

[Judge Fudge]

Watching Brzustewicz play, he reminds me a lot of a watered-down version of Colorado Avalanche star defenseman Cale Makar. Now, whoever drafts him should not assume they just drafted a clone of Makar, given the number of accolades he has, but when you watch the way Brzustewicz patrols the blueline on the power play, there are some striking similarities in their edgework and the way they’re able to open up space for themselves when their team is running the cycle in the offensive zone. He doesn’t really have one offensive quality that sticks out, but he’s reliable at both ends of the ice and plays the type of mature game that teams look for outside of the first round.

Brzustewicz is the perfect prospect for a contending team with a late first-round pick, or for a rebuilding team to pad its prospect pool with. He’s likely going to go somewhere between the late first round and early second round, making him a prime target for teams that fall into either of those categories. If he goes in the second round, he’s got the tools to be a steal, and if a team reaches for him in the first round, we could be looking back at it as a demonstration of good scouting years from now.
