Configuring the Canucks’ Best Line Combinations Using Analytics (And Maybe Even Logic...)

With hockey’s restart just a few weeks away, Travis Green will be busy at work trying to figure out the best line combinations for his club.

So, why not take on a similar exercise here?

Our CanucksAbbyFan2 undertook this assignment earlier in quarantine. For this exercise, I wanted to see what the numbers tell us about the best line combinations for the Canucks.

Is Tyler Toffoli or Brock Boeser a better fit on the top line? Who belongs beside Bo Horvat on the second line? Where does Micheal Ferland fit in?
