The Vancouver Canucks selected Jonathan Myrenberg in the fifth round of the 2021 NHL Draft. Myrenberg was the 50th blue liner taken in that draft. As of April 2023, only seven from the 2021 draft have played an NHL game. The scout on Myrenberg by Canucks Army was that the big defenseman “has an active stick and is quick to pounce on anyone around the net when he senses a scoring chance developing. He is constantly scanning for danger in the defensive zone and has good awareness of where the opposition is. It’s not just his eyes/head that is moving, his feet match what he sees when he’s engaged in stationary defense.
