A new era is about to begin in Vancouver.
For better or for worse, the identity of this team is changing. With both Sedins retiring, the Canucks will be drastically different by subtraction.
Losing the Sedins means that a whopping $14 million in cap space has been freed up. Jim Benning undoubtedly faces pressure to turn this team around, but will he cave under the expectations and spend like he has in previous seasons?
Trevor Linden may not be the GM, but he certainly seemed comfortable with squashing those notions during the Canucks end of the season media availability.
