The Canucks dispatched 13 players who suited up for them last season. A few were sent packing during the 2018-19 season and the rest were ixnayed during the off-season. How are they faring in their new jerseys? Does general manager Jim Benning have any regrets about anyone he drove to the airport?
He does do that, right?
The first two players to be shown the door were goalie Anders Nilsson and forward Darren Archibald. On January 2nd, 2019 the pair were traded to the Ottawa Senators in return for Mike McKenna, Tom Pyatt and a 6th round 2019 draft pick that the Canucks used at the Entry Draft later in the year to select promising Latvian puck-stopper Arturs Silovs.
