After missing out on the postseason by just nine points in 2018-19, the Vancouver Canucks went about addressing their biggest weaknesses in hopes of returning to the big party next year.
Needing to add another top six forward, general manager Jim Benning paid a steep price to acquire J.T. Miller from the Tampa Bay Lightning. He then went out and signed blueliners Tyler Myers, Jordie Benn and Oscar Fantenberg — who replace the departing Derrick Pouliot and Luke Schenn — and likely Ben Hutton as well.
