The Vancouver Canucks may have no choice but to inject some youth into the lineup next season. Good thing Jim Benning believes Nils Hoglander is ready.

With the way things are looking right now, the Vancouver Canucks might be icing a much younger roster next year. When the puck drops for the team’s 51st season, Olli Juolevi, Jack Rathbone, Jalen Chatfield and Nils Hoglander could potentially be suited up in green and blue.
