The 2024 NHL Entry Draft has concluded and the Edmonton Oil Kings saw two players, Adam Jecho and Parker Alcos, getting selected by the St. Louis Blues and Vancouver Canucks respectively. Alcos, a standout rookie with the Oil Kings, impressed with his defensive capabilities and puck-handling skills. He aims to improve his game for a potential shot in the Canucks' lineup. As part of the Canucks' prospect pool, Alcos joins a talented group of young players eyeing a future in the NHL.

Despite being a sixth-round pick, Alcos has the potential to make it to the NHL one day. With players like Kaprizov and Hyman proving that late-round picks can excel in the league, Alcos is determined to work hard and carve out his path. He is set to return to the Oil Kings for the upcoming season, hoping to lead his team to a successful campaign and a playoff berth.

The Canucks, currently in their Stanley Cup window, are looking to contend for the championship. While Alcos may not be in their immediate plans, he could find himself in the AHL in the near future with aspirations of an NHL debut down the line. As he continues to develop his skills and grow as a player, Alcos remains focused on realizing his NHL dreams.
